This is a good move. Let him build his fitness and get used to the pace of first team action. I think a good spell there might earn him a new contract with us.

A Wednesday mate was asking about him earlier today. He was reminding me that they had Agbonlahor on loan there around 2005 and apparently he was awful for them. I told him that after his injuries I have no idea what they are getting.

I remember one villa manager saying that Agbonlahor was basically on his way out but they kept him on purely because he was such a freak of an athlete.  Therefore I'm not surprised that he was bobbins at Wednesday as it's taken him a few years to go from a player purely with pace, to what he is is now, a pretty decent footballer capable of playing in a number of positions.

Big opportunity for Gardner and I hope he shines up there - I fear if we do release him in the summer it could be a mistake and I'd like to see him earn a new deal .

I don't think Gardner will play for Villa again.

Gone on loan to Sheffield Wednesday. Hope he does well there!

Been on a good run results wise! Until last night!

He will be playing for SGT's old coaching team of Stuart Gray and John Deehan.

Well, he certainly didn't produce anything in line with the acclaim some hold him. People have posted he's the next Gerrard and will captain England, based on what I do not know. File under Stefan Moore.

Gary Gardner has played for England at a World Cup and he's also scored for England U21s.





Stefan Moore has never played for England at any level.

Stefan Moore played for Aston Villa, which pisses over anything else he could have done.

I got my first player of the year trophy presented to me by John Deehan in 1976 and was so good to a young lad. Loved watching him the following season especially in my best ever Villa team.

I hope Gary Gardner can get some form, has been really frustrating for him no doubt and really hope it works out for him. Saw him pre-season at Luton in deep lying role and didnt think it suited him tbh.

I reckon he'll get a new deal unless his fitness is totally shot now at prem level.

He lost a year of his career to a cruciate so I'd give him a new one year deal personally.

Yep, fantastic side, with Gray, Deehan and Brian scoring for fun.

I played against John Deehan ( Lyndon 5th Year v his school St Peters!) and although I would go on to admire him as a player I always reckoned our centre forward, Vance Burkhill,was a better player. Then again what do I know. That forward line of Deehan, Little and Gray was just awesome.
