Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if Dean Smith could get a tune out of Gary Gardner as Monk seems to have done with him so far this season?

We’ll never know, he’s out of contract in the Summer.

Didn't he sign a four year deal in 2016?

Would be surprised if he was out of contract, surely we'd have sold him full time in January for a small fee and to get him off the books earlier.

He's clearly a good enough player at championship level even if he can never show it for us.

Monk's done a great job there to be totally fair and I thought he got the tin tack too early from trigger happy Leeds.

Said no Leeds fan ever.

He actually walked out on Leeds, they were happy to keep him on.

Boro was the club where he was arguably sacked prematurely.

Soon SHA are back to appointments like Zola and Cotterill the better.

It's also important to remember that come the summer the RDM and Bruce first window spending is all off the books, along with a fuck load of wages.

The embargo that was supposedly in palce in the summer was, as I understand it, about money in the bank more than anything else.

Must admit that not once this season have I thought "what we need is Gary Gardner in the team".

We really need another ponderous, plodding midfielder to slow things down. That's the trouble with our midfield, too much pace.

Dunno...he'd be an upgrade on Jedinak and better off the ball than Hologram.

We'd have to play like the Noses though and they're utter filth to watch with their 7% possession and long ball biffing.

That’s true, so why didn’t Dean recall him?

I'd say because Gary Gardner is shit. And we have enough shit and slow and weak midfielders as it is.

Because we didn't have a recall option. No one cared when he went out on loan and his stats this season are crap.
