Interesting bloke. Said he was a Villa fan when he was here, then came up with the lifelong Bluenose stuff when he went there. And then when they go down he makes more noises in the press about a possible move away than all his non lifelong blue team mates put together.

You could just have easily opened that post with 'Complete C&%T' as 'Interesting Bloke'!!

Let's hope his brother turns out to be a better player and person.

I think we can go out and get a better player than Craig Gardner.

then again did you think we could get a better manager than Mcrelegate?

MON joins us as manager and we're linked with everyone who played for him at Leicester/Celtic. 

Houllier joins us as manager and we're linked with everyone who played for him at Liverpool/is French.

Inevitably, therefore, McCleish joins us as manager and we're linked with everyone who played for him at Blues/is Scottish. 

As was the case with MON and Houllier, some of these will indeed come to pass. However, I don't think Gardner will be one of them.

Nine goals in 42 games for a relegated and extremely defensive side is impressive. But I wouldn't imagine there's much choice in him joining us (then again, I wouldn't have expected his ex-manager to join us, either).

Gardner won't be back, I am very confident of that.

I know not everyone will agree with me but i didnt really rate him as good enough for us the blues players that are would be Foster, Dann and possibly Johnson

I do.

In the position he plays for us he'd be behind Delph and Bannan for me.

No. We sold him for a reason and only Blues wanted him. Says it all. Not good enough.

Don't rate him, he just has a good shot. A poor man's Hitzlsperger.

Good player, not great. No thanks. I'd rather we re-sign NRC
