Re: Craig Gardner
????The ReverendIt's not really, it's spurious. Was Craig the reason he also went on loan to Coventry, Sheffield Wednesday, Forest, Brighton and Barnsley as well?
He needed a team, Villa wanted him off the books and we were interested. There's no evidence of our 10k wage cap fending off countless other clubs.
No, I think it's a good point - a Villa player going to Blues is probably a bigger risk or decision than going to any other club. It's entirely probable that his brother told him, from first hand experience, that we weren't a bunch of spiteful neanderthals that were going to abuse him at every opportunity. Feck me, that was some salesmanship!
