He should have stayed and fought for his place. He didn't so no thanks. He was better than Gavin McCann but he's not better than Delph, Makoun, etc.

the only decent thing he has on him is a shot, hence why he managed to score so many last season

I'd prefer Craig Charles and his crack pipe.

That's no way to smoke is it?

I accidentally voted yes. I mean he is a decent enough player and I'd have liked him to have stayed and get more of a chance but we have enough forward thinking midfielders so I don't want him back but I concede he is a good player.

I don't want us to sign Milner or Barton for the same reason.

Thought he was good and good enough when here, and I agree with Wilshere, he's proved it by scoring as many as he did in a crap side.  Hoewever I think he burned his bridges with us with his "always a bluenose" comments when he left.

Rubbish thread.

Agreed, especially when 8 people think 'Craig Gardner is a great player'.

I like Craig Gardner as a player. I was very disappointed when we sold him, but kept the likes of Sidwell.
Gardner could do a very good job for us, he has improved. Not sure I want him back because his mouth was working overtime once he'd crossed the border.

Same for me.

There didn't seem to be an option for those of us who think he's a decent enough player and don't think he's a ******.

I replied to his Twitter comment (Tweet??) by saying, no disrespect but I really hope we don't resign him. Still awaiting his response. Wilshere also made comments about hoping Harry Forrester does well after leaving us and felt sorry for him not getting a chance. Would like to see Gary get a chance this year though, heard alot of promising things.

Why no option for:

"Decent player, not the sort of quality we should be looking at though?"
