Apparently Blose are interested in taking him back from Baggies. Didn't Bruce have him at Sunderland?

Wasn't it Bruce who signed him for them from us, too?

Edit:
Craig Gardner. to save scrolling back

I can't stand the snake bastard.



But, beggars can't be choosers, and he is infinitely better than anything we have in midfield now.

Do it.

That's not going to happen is it, way too good to slum it in the championship.

Pulis has said Craig Gardner would be allowed to leave (being linked on the BBC with the team he's always supported) apparently http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38530375
Sadly he's still better than anything we've currently got.

Would he become a lifelong Villa fan if he signed for us?

Delph is c*** of the highest order and would immediately be the very best midfielder in the division.

If we sign Delph I have no doubt that Milner, Young, Barry, and Benteke will also return. Probably Cahill too.

Agree.
Great player.

Yes, he certainly misjudged what would happen.
Anyway, I blame Tom Fox for the cock up

I'd have him back, I want Villa to win and he'd help that.

I'd carry the ****** back from Manchester on my shoulders, or at least coiled around them.

Can't see it either.  There will definitely be takers in the top flight if he is available. 

Probably the least popular players with our fans, but a midfield of Gardner Snr and Delph would be a massive upgrade on what we currently have.

Probably won't happen but I'd have Delph back in a heartbeat. Let bygones be bygones and all that. The club was an absolute joke back then and I don't blame him jumping ship even though it felt like a kick in the teeth after him pledging his future to the club.
