When it was announced yesterday Villa said it was a loan till the end of the season. I've just read in today's Mail that he's only here till January with a view to a permanent transfer. Which one is it?

If TVC15 plays well enough for Villa to even consider paying £7.5m for him in January, he will have plenty of other clubs interested in him.

I think he'll Stay. He won't want to be shunted from station to station.

Tom could be a Major signing for us.

see what you did with that.

you Bowie fan you.

It's a season long loan with a purchase option for us and a recall option for them in January.

I heard he's here on a season long loan, but that Man United have an option to recall him in January.

I always thought that the "owning" club could recall their loanee at any point? no?

Or Villa to buy him.

It gives us an option to see how he performs and if he's worth £7m.

Is it true he spent a day at BH then when he heard Everton was interested he did a quick return to the North West?  He's obviously keen on coming to B6  :-\

Whatever the deal is I'm glad he's here. He may not be good enough for Man Utd but he's certainly good enough for us, and he's an upgrade on Westwood. Our midfield has been a weak spot for over the last few years and it looks like we're finally doing something about it.

I think there is a break clause for a period  in January on either side but I assume that is just precautionary. e.g. he's rubbish, he's homesick or they have a massive injury crisis.

Or if we choose not to buy him in January Man United will call him back? No doubt they want something for him and won't want him walking away free at the end of the season.

Whatever, I just hope he can do a job for us this season.

Maybe Tom will sign a new contract and play for Villa during the Golden Years of his career

A New Career in a New Town could be just what he needs to become a Future Legend.
At least now we can make Changes in midfield.

If he can produce what he's supposedly capable of he could well end up being our Starman.  Might be worth a Five Years contract then.

Mind you, I remember thinking that about Jean Genie Makoun.

If not his value will be low and van Gaal will not be the man who sold the world class midfielder.

He's good with the ball at his feet. Excellent ground control.

I'm hoping Gardner excels in the Championship, returns in January from loan and gets the Fame and recognition he deserves after the nasty injuries he's been through.
