So what went wrong with Barry Bannan?

[tomd2103]

Bit like Stephen Ireland, he isnt good enough with the ball to cover up for his painful limitations off the ball

Totally agree.  In Premier League terms, he's nothing too special on the ball and the rest of his game is way short of that level.  Saying that, I have nothing against the lad and wish him well in the future.

Joachim and Wright did okay for shortarses who weren't exactly top class players.

Joachim was the standout player for the England U18 who won the European Championship in '93. A team that included Scholes ,G.Neville ,Fowler and Sol Campbell with Beckham not being good enough for selection.
Joachim also featured in the film 'Hannibal' sequel to 'silence of the Lambs',well some Italian cops were watching the FA Cup final on tv and Joachim is in close up.

I hope no potential suitor is reading this or any other Bannan thread.

Or watching him play for that matter!

After watching the 1000 goals DVD it shows the Joachim was quite a good player. Scored some really important goals for us.

As for Bannan, he can fuck off. Not good enough. Not comitted enough.

Fun fact of the day: Joachim has a better goals to games ratio for us than Gabby has. Surprised me considering how often JJ was on the bench from memory.

Doesn't surprise me when you consider how many times Gabby was on the wing.

Which is probably cancelled out by Joachim making over a 3rd of his appearances from the bench.

Which is cancelled out by...ah fuck it. One of us has got to stop repeating ourselves.

Dennis Wise was a twat on and off the pitch. Bannan was halfway there.

Wise was very difficult to shake off the ball though. Plus his passing and set pieces were consistently good. Again, this is one thing Bannan could have really worked harder at, particularly on his physical side. He should have hit the gym harder. Improved his upper body strength.

Don't get me wrong, Wise was good to have on your side.

And don't get me wrong, I know he's a twat!
