I think that would be a good signing. Better than Guthrie and unlike Gosling proven at prem level. Vuckic still hasn't made the step up despite being the next big thing for the last few years. With Nolan and Barton's futures uncertain I'd take a cheeky punt at him whilst he can be bought on the cheap.

Is £5mil really that cheap?

Not mega-cheap i'll grant you. But if Henderson is worth £16m then I think £5m is a fair price for somebody of Gardner's quality. Cabaye was cheaper but that is the european discount whereas there is always a premium on british players. But yeah not a bad price all in all.
 
With Barton's contract expiring, speculation about Nolan's future, Gosling's injury problems, Richardson not being ready YET.. then I could see why we are in for Gardner. Good price(5m being reported), versatile(can cover RB/RM/LM I think), is a goalscoring midfielder(replacement for Nolan) & has got good PL experience. Excellent squad player to have IMO & would be a good option to have on the bench because of his versatillity. This must mean Barton/Nolan or both will be released/sold respectively. <yikes>
 
Think it would be good to keep an English core to the team, if Nolan & Barton are going then Gardner would do that, if Nolan goes for £4M or so it's only(yeah only) an extra £1M on top of that.
 
I wouldnt be too happy about his signing, would prefer johnson or dann or keep the 5mil for other players
 
Gardner is a solid player but newcastle united are on the rise and we shouldnt be looking at guys like gardner anymore, he is not good enough for us.
