Gary Gardner - Retired

[eamonn]

Is he in the final year of his contract? Would feel sorry for him this time next year farming him out to another club yet again. He seems trapped in some Truman Show set in the English Midlands.

[Tuscans]

He's like a 40 yr old who still lives with his parent who has the odd holiday every year. When will he ever leave for good.

Two years ago watching our opening game at Hillsborough atop a couple of stools in a bar in Lanzarote my Brother In Law pointed out that Gardner continually got caught on the wrong side of his man and then ended up commiting a foul. I'd never noticed that before but noticed it every time he played thereafter, he is just a limited player I suppose. It goes without saying I wish him all the worst in Bordesley and hope he doesn't end up chatting shit like his brother.

As a kid it killed me to see Bremner, Mortimer and Morley wearing a Small Heath shirt but I don't think seeing Gary Gardner wearing royal blue will upset me much. You just know that the first thought of the noses is the stick they could give us if he scores the goal that keeps them up.

I normally wish our loan signings well. I'm struggling to do so on this occasion, I'll be honest.

Bolton & QPR, Decent medium sized clubs, good enough for either.

The other option is when all the proper supermarkets are shut and you have to use the local shop which only has out of date goods that nobody else wants.

Can't say I'll wish Gary all the best if he decides to go there and end his footballing ambitions today.

Poor sod.

[Hookeysmith]

They will probably hate him no matter how he performs for them.

He must be brave or stupid

[Mister E]

Amazing how much hope we all had for this kid and now it's come down to this.

I hope he does ok and maybe we can get a small fee for him.

Agreed.
Several years' ago he was the Real Deal and I think injuries and maybe a natural lack of pace did for him.

Why are we helping these fuckers out with loaning them players? We shouldn’t be loaning them the steam off our piss.

From what I've seen of him we're doing them no favours, just chucking weight onto the sinking ship.

[Gareth]

Good luck to him, as I see it they will be bottom half of the table so if he helps them take a few points off our rivals I’ll be happy

[PeterWithesShin]

I feel for him a bit, so much potential before those injuries did for him and now at 26 he's considering giving up being a professional footballer.

[Edvard Remberg]

Gone to BCFC - officially on the AVFC twitter -  loan 1 year

[PeterWithesShin]

That's a worse fate than being dumped into a bomb squad, poor bastard.
