Pretty harsh. Wasn't it his shot that Schwarzer failed to hold, allowing Weimann to get a last minute winner against Fulham in McLeish's season? The last win we got which effectively kept us up.I also remember him coming on at Newcastle when we lost 2-1 (Robbie Keane for us) when he galvanised the midfield and was unlucky not to score an equaliser. The boy has got a lot going for him. I can't remember us having a player picked for England U-21's when he's not even playing for his club/on loan.

he's 21. delph had the same injuries at his age, and look at him now. i doubt gardner is on big money, and he'll want to prove himself at villa.
I am guessing here, but I would think that Gardener's last deal was negotiated during more speculative times at VP. Is he worth a similar deal?Is he worth a pay rise?I would suggest we can put his and Albrighton's wages to more effective use with a good first team replacement. Unless of course he is in fact the dogs doodahs, which based upon the appearances I have witnessed have no idea.

I would imagine that they probably would.
