BR 89 Gardner has had many chances at Villa Park and has been found wanting, good youth player but not a top class Championship player and not a prem player either.Mc Cormack has played one game, when he has played as often as Gardner then is the time to have a go.

He's never cut it at PL and barely got a game out on loan last season in the Championship. That should tell you everything, he's not good enough for Villa. Signing this type of player over the last 6 seasons contributed to our decline and the sooner we rid the club of them the better.

So effectively: "I'm not interested in games that don't fit the idea I already have so I never want to see him play for us again and I'll only accept I might be wrong about him if I see him play for us again."
He came on v Notts County last season in the LC and scored a tidy goal.

He couldn't even start against Notts County. How shit must he be?He is though. He's another that will disappear in to oblivion when his contract is up with us. There's a reason why no one picks him. Bournemouth, Sheff Wed, Paul Lambert, Tim Sherwood, Remi Garde, Di Matteo. He has a cross on him and that's about it, in fact he'd probably be a better option than Cissokho if we intend to keep playing the fullbacks as our main attacking outlets.
Maybe he would look better in a 3 or with someone more energetic than Westwood. The fact that he made Westwood look like Kante yesterday worries me.
a proper defensive midfielder would give Gardner more freedom to get forward.
