Great little player and I like watching him play more than anyone else at Villa right now. Played well in difficult circumstances in Moscow and Man City (FA Cup) away and keeps on trying to play his game whatever happens so I'm not that worried whether he is tough enough. His style of play doesn't particularly fit with the team's at the moment though, so my main fear is that he'll leave without showing what he can do. I won't lose any sleep over Holloway's advances though.

Holloway must have a similar grip on reality as Colonel Gaddaffi if he thinks Bannan is worth just a £1million.

This is not a fair  comparison ...Gaddafi is not that bad!

Bannan is the best thing to hit this club since Barry and i think he has a bit more  vision than our former captain. This  could be his season to emerge  and it would be a  sheer madness to  sell him now.

Gets the crowd on their feet, can spot a pass, shoot, great awareness of space.  The lad has got a lot of natural talent, and I really do believe he should be given a run of games this season to see what he can achieve.  To Blackpool for £1m? to Holloway? f*ck off.

If we sell Bannan for 1/2 mill to the likes of Blackburn in the championship, we might as well pack in and call it a day.

It won't happen

Barry Bannan is a football genius, and like john e, I'd probably give up if this were to happen.

Barry Bannan could easily be the next Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Lional Messi or Ronaldo, he won't but that's not the point, the point I'm making is that's how deluded Holloway is.

And hopefully not how deluded McLeish is if he sells him.

I recall an awful lot of naysayers about a year ago saying he would never make it because of his small stature.  I didn't agree and it doesn't seem to be an issue with many now.  So well done BB and let's hope he continues to develop.  My hope is that AM will rotate at least a little so that BB, Ireland (mental balance permitting), J2M, Delph and Petrov all get a fair run in the team at various times.  And even by Holloway's standards that's a right load of old shite he is spouting.

His passing is great but he needs to cut out the hollywood balls so often.

Then again our midfield isn't overly technical, so he doesn't really have anyone who he can keep it ticking over with.

Perhaps if we can get a midfield of Makoun, Bannan, Ireland and N'Zogbia with a more physical player working we'll see the best of Barry.

I could happily watch Bannan playing in the warm-up for 90 minutes. He has a harder and more accurate shot than any of our other players, and his close control is superb.
