If the hype is to be believed & he can do it at the top level, then he won't be here for very long.

Christ..what a depressing thought that is, but true.

He does look very comfortable on the ball and the free kick last night was top draw.

Its not about being a mercenary, its about making progress in your chosen career.

Players leaving moving clubs to increase their wages and/or improve their career prospect is no different to a builder or an accountant changing employers for the same reason

If he is going to be a top player then he will attract the top clubs who play in the top competitions, which isn't us.

Here are the goals for anyone not in the UK

Id like to think we could at least get him a regular in the first team before we even think about him leaving!

Cant understand why he hasn't been given more time on the pitch surely he could come on for Petrov?

Petrov has been better this season. Gardner should be given a chance ahead of Delph, who hasn't impressed me at all.

[Concrete John]

Delph isn't in the team though and unlikely to get back in anytime soon now that Jenas is fit and Herd is playing so well.

I could be that the club and AM are handling the Gardner situation exactly right.  Mybe the Jenas loan is to allow him to progress naturally with no pressure, so that in 12-months time he's a regular once Jermaine goes back to Spuds?

[Simon Ward]

Well played Gary, just seen the free kick and if Henderson had scored it the press would be going mad this morning!

Lets play it cool and keep Gary at the club for the best years of his career.

[Hookeysmith]

FFS people - can we just enjoy seeing an obvious talent coming through our ranks, and hopefully this one actually is a Villa fan for real.

Lets just enjoy it before we pack him off to money bags FC eh lads

IT does seem that sometimes our club really cannot do anything without the doom merchants taking hold

[PaulWinch again]

Lets give him a chance he looks very very good.

[badluckeric(gates)]

I've got a great idea, why don't we never play him then no one will see how good he is and we can keep him for ever-cue evil laugh.
We could keep him locked away at Bodymoor like some demented art criminal thief....
