Birkir Bjarnason - Released

[PeterWithe]

He’s been one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in all but  one of his appearances for Villa

I agree, but in his defence, that one game was the last game, which puts a different spin on it.

He’s looked crap, playing in a crap team against crap players in a crap league.

Not for me, sell in this window and give one of the young home grown players a chance from the bench.

[PeterWithe]

As it happens I’ve got an Icelandic friend of a friend kind of mate who asks me, via FB, every week how Barney is getting on. I might be enjoying reporting on how shit he is too much to retain any objectivity.

He is shit mind.

[villan from luton]

Not on your nelly, we look a far better team with Jedinak as DM, if he’s not fit then Whelan, then Barney, reluctantly. He’s been poor for all but one appearance in a year.

I disagree. I actually like both Jedinak and Whelan, but in a game like tomorrow, we want to keep the ball moving quickly and thought he did that well v Forest and deserves another chance.

[SirSteveUK]

Keep. He's starting to show why we recruited him in the first place.  I'd start him as well.

I agree.

[villan from luton]

I agree with Peter Withe to a certain extent, has he shown his talents? The answer is no and I text my lad when I saw he come on for Whelan, who I thought had a decent half to be fair. He was excellent, covered play well and was mobile, played it simple. I would start him tomorrow as he was superb IMO,

[West Derby Villan]

Good solid performance today, did the simple things and kept the ball moving. More matches will mean more confidence. Nice to have a player than can adequately fill that position if required, at the moment, after today's display, he should keep his place.

[PaulWinch again]

Good again Thor.

[Edvard Remberg]

I wonder if some of these opinions about him have anything to do with that night, when I was in Nice in 2016?

[olaftab]

About 3 times in the first half I said well played Barny and that’s unusual for me and means a player is more than very active in good stuff😊

Did it involve you and Thor, a seedy motel, whipped cream, a fake moustache and a rented outfit from Allo Allo?

Might - can’t remember much the next morning.

[Tayls_7]

I like Nice but I prefer Custard Creams.

[PeterWithe]

When playing in the DM role he looks like a poor mans Nigel Reo-Coker, his athleticism get him into positions to win the ball before his lack of any kind of talent means he gives it straight back to the opposition.

I admire his effort, I really do, not so much anything else.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a poor mans Reo-Coker......he'd win the ball, turn 180 degrees then give it back.....very poor player
