He’s always come across as a hard working and professional to me. It might be worth noting....many players, suffer from major injuries but sustain their careers. I am unsure how much his injuries have curtailed his career or his development just plateaued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure how much his injuries have curtailed his career or his development just plateaued. I think it may be a combination of the two. However I think it can’t be stressed enough how important a players development during their late teens is. When they first start playing regular football, their form and what they learn during those years has a big impact on the direction their career takes. We’ve seen it go both ways, but in Gardner’s case, the talent he showed seems to have been stumped at some point during those injuries and he’s never even looked close to showing the form that got him such rave reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's impossible not to put his faltering career down to his horrendous catalogue of injury - I for one would not comment on his ability for this reason alone. I am a little surprised at the level of vitriol aimed towards him though as he always struck me as a honest down to earth pro ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suffer all the goals conceded to watch them pair jumping for headers. On topic: I myself always thought of Gardner as down to earth and decent. But recent events have shown how much loyalty he has to the club and how much respect he has for us Villa fans. I don’t mind him going on loan to the noses, but his comments have been unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It seems like in an effort to revive his career, he has forgotten the loyalty the club ( villa ) have afforded him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post terrytini Posted November 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2018 In my view we are well rid. He looked another level of rubbish when he returned from injury.....but I would say, as regards his pro- blues thoughts, we were very happy for Snodgrass to be wholeheartedly Villa, ditto Abraham. I know it’s slightly different but really I’ve no problem with him rooting for the team he’s with. I have much more of a problem with the fact that he’s crap and we still have him on the books. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He's playing really well for them and they play much better when he starts. For that reason alone I'd recall him! Is there a recall option in his loan deal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thread resurrection.. As asked about by @Villastine, can we recall him? If so, it would strategically make sense to recall one of small heath's best players, now that they're above us, and send him back on loan to someone like Ipswich. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should do, they will have to play Craig then Im quite bitter, but as discussed above; i'd recall him and ruin the next (and prime) 18 months of his career for his KRO nonsense. Especially as this club has given him millions and millions in wages since he was effectively a child for very little on the pitch. Respect the club that made your career.

We don't ever need to do business with them and we certainly don't owe Gary Gardner anything at all. I think we should try to sell him, for anything to anyone. SHA included. You want him, you buy him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 What happened to Gardner? He was touted as being the next Gerrard and there was even more hype around him in our youth team than there ever was for Grealish. Was it all the injuries he picked up over the years that set him back, or was he a case of another over-hyped player our supporters have been dying to see come good? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch him when he was younger, but if the people that thought Luke Moore was a better prospect than Rooney are anything to go by... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
