thanks for your views on gardener , somebody mentioned gibson ,i think we have a better player because of the ability to play in a few posisitions unlike gibson, the same with colback , a good all round player and will not let you down were ever he plays in the team, lets not forget the team ethos is changing within the rules of the prem league , not only with home grown players but also wage and income levels to come to the fore in the next two years, if any team can build a back bone within the forthcoming restraints they will be a better club and a more solvent club as well. its like a credit card you can have what you want but at the end of the day it has to be paid for in the end and as usual at a much higher cost look at blackburn , premier winners now relegated , who next, keep our feet on the ground ,stay in the prem ,remain solvent and dont chase the rainbow , its a glow when you win and crap at times when you lose , a few glimpses of big stuff is nice but its put into context when you hear other supporters moan about the turmoil thier clubs are in at the moment , and some are in europe , be careful what you wish for ,some weeks this season we have players in all sorts of posisitions because of lack of resourses, think what if we qualified for a comp anywhere heaven forbid. we could get into europe via the fair play idea, barton i reckon we could get on a free now , along side catts should do it i think
Not convinced by Gardner, has a great strike but seldom picks out a good pass and is constantly caught in possession, think if we can get our money back and get sigurdson for 7mil then that would be a great move for us, don't think Gardner will take us forward unfortunately
