The crash site is located just 400 metres short of the airport perimeter fence. Even without any performance data I'm reasonably certain that gear up would have given that extra few hundred metres needed to reach flat unobstructed ground even if short of the runway. Not familiar with 320 but on some aircraft models landing gear is almost as effective speed brake as spoilers.
