Villa player loan watch

[achilles]

The Fonz just never seemed able to be consistent enough and I remember his new contract in 2011 and I couldn't understand why Villa offered it to him. I do think he could have been better than he turned out, still he has made a very good living by not being all that good, perhaps thats all he wanted.

Sheffield Wednesday winning 3-0 at home to QPR, Gary Gardner not playing or on the bench, I see.

I take it it isn't going well there?

He's been back here for a week or two.

I think thats it for him here sadly.

I missed that completely - is his month with them up already?

Im not sure if his time there ran out or they sent him back early, either way he didnt impress.

I see that Darren Bent didnt appear for Fulham last weekend for 'personal reasons'

Some kids forge a very good career at the lower levels. Remember Martin Carruthers who played and scored consistently for a couple of clubs when he left us. However Delfouneso gives the impression that a bit of skill and the occassional goal is all it takes. File under Stephen Cooke.

I hope we do give Gardner another year. He's had so long out I just think it's unfair to judge him on a few months

Me too.  I'd be tempted with 2-years, one whole season on loan and the second with us, but it'd have to be on a low wage.

I agree, others are better placed to comment than me but from what I have seen letting him go could just come back to haunt us in a year or two.

Drennan extends Pompey stay

Michael Drennan has extended his Pompey loan until the end of the season.

The Aston Villa striker has impressed Richie Barker during his initial month at Fratton Park, making five appearances and scoring one goal.

Now the Blues manager has moved to tie him to the club ahead of Thursday’s deadline for emergency loans to be completed.

The 20-year-old appeared as an 80th-minute substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against York.
