On his way out apparently.  Not travelled on the tour.

Before last season I always had high hopes for GG, wasn't to be, pastures new may revive his career. What ever happens top guy and good luck to him

Awful bad luck with injuries, but has never really looked the part.

Might be a few reasons that he is staying at home, but if he is on his way then good luck to him.  Had really high hopes for him, but I thought he struggled badly at times last season and probably needs to move on at this point.

Hasn't really looked good enough, but if he goes he leaves with my best wishes for his future*. One of those 'what if' players. So highly rated as a youngster but those two ACL injuries did for him before his career had even really started.


*I reserve the right to change that if he follows his brother's choice of clubs.

Good luck to the guy. It was clear to me after seeing his performances on loan at Forest it wasn't going to work out with us but I hope he finds a club and a role that works for him.

I hope we include a sell on clause just in case. I agree with others though, probably be a really good League One player, or lower down the Championship.

I think the time has come for Gardner to move on, think there is still a good player in there but he needs to go somewhere where he can get that 15-20 game run in a slightly less pressurised environment. 

Obviously he scored 'that goal' but in hindsight after his injuries he needed a year in league one playing week in week out rather getting 20/25 minutes one week then a start a couple of weeks later.

Hope he fulfills his potential of 5/6 years ago but just can't see that being here now.

No team anywhere near the promotion places will have a player as limited as Gardner.

Maybe would have had a better chance had he been raised around a midfield During the early / mid 90s, but certainly has been poor around a shocking squad for years.

Good luck but being a Villain isn't enough.
