Craig Gardner just isn't good enough .

That just about sums him up. An average player with a good shot.

I don't care about the b-lose business, he never gave less than his all for us. Wouldn't be opening the champagne about having him back though.

Dann would be a decent buy, should have in the summer IMO as Blackburn only paid 4 or 5 million in the end. Blues mates say he organised them at the back.

Gardner senior is a good player in the centre of the park, we could do a lot worse.

Collins going for either would be great business, Warnock thrown in would be just fab!

I heard that part of the agreement with SHA re: McLeish's departure was that we couldn't sign any of their players for 6 months. That's why we didn't get him inin the summer.

I've also heard that Dann was the main man in their defence last season. Highly rated.

Talking of average players with a good shot, sounds like Darron Gibson is off to Everton.

Less than £1.5m according to a journo on Twitter. I'd still pass on that one even at that price.

Very little to lose at that price though you would think, he plays well and scores a few it will look a decent deal. Moyes does ok with United cast offs

He's not a good player though. Gladly avoided.

Problem is we've heard the same said about players such as Jamie Ohara, Younas Kaboul and Kevin prince Boateng, then they go and play well elsewhere and we think we've missed out.

Yes, our player spotting skills are hardly legendary.

If we sold Darren Bent, big if, but I'd go for Fletcher (Wolves) Hoilett (Blackburn) Corluka & Bassong (Spurs)

I see Stevie Gerrard has no ambition of winning a premier league medal by signing a new contract with Liverpool.
