Does he just put the pillow on the floor and sleep on that?

What's he done with the ladder?

So Bannan to palace going ahead which would be good.

Bannan to Palace then. Let's hope he passes his medical.

@HowardHodgson: So that's Bannan and Stevens gone.. Given, Hutton, Ireland next please.. #bombsquad #avfc

There's an exclusive and no mistake.

Good luck to Bannan. There's a decent player in there if he get's his head down and concentrates on his football.

If he gets his head down any further, he'll be mistaken for one of the mascots.

If he shaves his head and ups his booze quota, he'll look like Holloways love child.

Lol.

I do agree with Clampy though, there is a good player in there.
Maybe if he hadn't had some of his off field issues he'd have been given a bit longer.

Once something looks definite it gets a separate thread.

Just because he is in London doesn't mean it is Palace. Remember Arsene's last day meltdown two years ago? He might fancy Hutton as well.
-
If he gets this move he's a lucky boy. He stays in the Prem for the immediate future and gets a chance to really make himself stand out. He has to up his game to make it at this level though.
-
Good luck Bazza and thanks for the memories. You were a joy to watch coming through the ranks.
-
See ya Bannan, don't let the door handle hit you on the head on the way out.

errr cat flap ?

I still think that if he'd got himself right off the field he'd be exactl the type of midfielder we're short of, who can make things happen when it's a tight game. I do think there was no way back for him though so best all round for him to leave, I do reserve the right to be very upset if he gets a run as an attacking midfielder and shows his true ability though.
-
Any mention of what fee we're getting for him yet?
-
One in a long list of what could have beens. Revolving manager door over the last few years and some of the 'older' players influences probably didn't help, but I doubt we will miss him.
-
Any mention of what fee we're getting for him yet?
Would be surprised if its much over £1m

I'd be quite upset if it's not more than that, regardless of some opinions on here he's in his early 20s, a full international, and has a decent amount of premier league performances to his name £2-3m should be the going rate.
-
Bannan's definitely off then.

As we saw with Bent, we've made it so clear we want shot that we're not gonna get his real market value.
-
Good luck to him. Personally I have always found it difficult enough to find Selhurst Park by car whilst sober.
-
Can we throw in Ireland for free?

There different situations, I'm convinced Bent's price was affected by his injury record for the past 18months more than anything else. He was available for roughly half of our games in that period, that's a big risk when it's a player who has always been about his pace.
-

Not unless Barry Fry is their manager.
-
I don't think Bent is a player who was always about pace, to be fair. He struck me as one who was about being in the right place at the right time. He's also brilliant at beating the offside.
-

He was brilliant at using his pace I agree, but his ability was still underpinned entirely by his pace. He looked ineffective at the start of last season because the fitness wasn't there and his pace was down.
-
I think he relied more on his pace earlier in his career, when Charlton basically played to release him on the counter. His main attributes, like most true goal poachers, are movement and finishing.
-

Off to Stoke on a season long loan according to Sky sources?
-
Nursey is saying the fee is £1.75m
@JamesNursey: #AVFC signing Libor Kozak in a permanent £7million deal. Bannan off to Palace for £1.75m is what I am hearing
-
£1.5 million for Bannan is a good deal.
-

How can Kozak increase in value from less than £2m when Lazio signed him to £7m when he has done nothing to increase his value?
-
£1.75m is ok, slightly less than I suggested earlier but I was closer than the less than a million I'd seen on here and in a few other places.
-
London will be a perfect environment for the reclusive little man.
-
Lots of grotty south London boozers as well, He'll be in his element
-
He has left the training ground - rumours of a 3 yr deal.
-
You wonder if they've looked at Helenius and don't fancy him now? Seems direct competition for him rather than Benteke
-

I doubt it , what ive seen of helenius has looked promising - he is not the same kind of player as benteke .
Helenius and Kozak along with the current 3 strikers give us options .
-
In the massive 30 minutes of competitive football he's played for us i'm satisfied with what i've seen of The Gladiator.

Bit of a red herring that, don't you think? We start with one Big Striker and two pacey options to play just off on either side, more like inside-forwards than strikers. Hardly the position you'd expect to find Helenius or Kozak.
-
Why are we talking about Kozac on the Bannan thread?

Well not having seen Kozak I suspect it is more of a direct ball option in the event we are chasing a game and go to 4-4-2 along with having competition for Helenius in the event Benteke is injured or suspended.
So as Eastie summised gives us options
-
RE Bannan, for all the talk of him being greedy by rejecting a move to Blackburn by waiting around a lot longer he's got a move to a (for now) premiership club, probably a bit more money and we've got more money for him if the purported fees around either move were accurate. He also avoided a perennial crisis club lead by a bunch of yampy chicken farmers. Everyone's a winner!
Like others, I still think there's a player in him. A move will do him good.
-
and us
-
Has he been presented to the press holding up a nippers Palace shirt (with a number used on the shorts on the back) yet?
-
Barry Bannan has told Sky Sports News that he has completed his move to Crystal Palace signing a three year deal.
-
Signed - 3 year contract at Palace
-
Good luck Pocket Baz, hope it works out well for him.
-
i thought he would end up in hollywood
well thank fook we wont hear *hollywood pass* again
-
I guess he doesn't spend his money on fashion.......

Palace have continued their deadline day dealings by signing Scotland international Barry Bannan from Aston Villa on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 23 year old links up with Ian Holloway again having been a part of the Blackpool side that won promotion to the Premier League in 2010.
Bannan, who now links up with his international team mates for their World Cup qualifiers against Belgium and Macedonia, has had loan spells at Derby County and Leeds United but broke through into the Villa first-team having progressed through their academy, and made 83 appearances for them since making his debut in December 2008.
Speaking to Palace Player, he said: “I went back home to Scotland over the weekend ahead of meeting up with the international squad so I've had to travel back down but it's a great bit of news for me.
“I was at Blackpool with the gaffer here when they got promotion that year and that was probably the highlight of my career so far.
“It is a big move for me to leave Villa and I would like to thank the fans there but it's a new chapter in my life now and I can't wait to get started.
“I want to get myself in the door and start training and hopefully get myself in the team. I haven't played this season and didn't much last year so I can't wait to get going.”
-
They look like the kind of clothes a toddler would wear.
Looks happy as ever.
-
And a very good was had by all , excellent news - thank you and goodnight :)
-
i thought he would end up in hollywood
well thank fook we wont hear *hollywood pass* again
I always thought that was a lazy load of bollocks, he didn't do it half as much as people made out.
I liked him, there's potential there so I hope it works out for him.
-
Good luck wee Barry. This is your best chance to show your self at this level. It's now or never. Become a decent premier league player, or plug away in the Championship and below.
-
I'm glad he's gone to the half-arsed manager who used to be funny.
-
Championship player for me, guess that's where he will be playing next season.
-
Good luck to him, never quite had enough quality for us.

Hello little man, did your Dad buy you a new scarf.
-
Genuinely sad to see him with that scarf, I've always rated him and still think he will age into a quality player.

He does appear to be standing in a playpen
-

Me too.
-
A bit of talent, but 100% wrong attitude on and off the pitch. From leaving the scene of car crashes while drunk to constantly berating team-mates for no reason whilst hitting aimless freekicks and corners...
The sad fact is he has probably just pocketed £100k out of this move. Glad him and Mr Pink have left us. Their respective destinations say it all.
-
Nah, he's a tosser. Glad he's gone. Good luck all the same.
-
Good riddance to the little scrotum.

Scrotal cyst would be more accurate.

As long as Holloway doesn't go about poisoning kids I reckon they'll get on fine.
-
He blew it with the drink driving thing really. Thought he was playing quite well at that point.
Some players who are ridiculously gifted can get away with not being in peak form off the pitch like Gazza and God even with the injuries. Fair to say Bannan can't.
No surprise to me dedicated pros like Lowton and Westwood who look after themselves off the pitch will continue to progress here and probably play for their country within the next year or two.
Bannan will this time next year be playing in the championship and he can't even get in one of the worst Scotish teams of all time.

That's should be for Ireland more.
-
Meh, he always wanted to play for us, had some good games. Never really clicked with us but he has some talent. Good luck to him at Palace.
-
I was his biggest fanboy but my god he's really blown his talent thus far. Hope for Palace's sake that he realises how hard he needs to work to get himself back on track.

always agreed with you on Bannan Monty
one word thats the difference between him being a good premiership player or a lower league club journey man - attitude

Add me to the list, I'd still have liked to see him in a central 3 as the attacking one, I still think the shit he got from the fans was more because of his personality and off-field problems than it was his performances. I also think he'll do well if the Palace fans get behind him as he is a better player when he feels wanted.
-
To be fair , he never did himself any favours , but he grafted when PL came in , but lost the plot .
well trodden path , i am afraid .
I had huge hopes for him ,
-
If it goes tits up he can always take Floatball worldwide.
-
Walt and Jesse are far more photogenic than Baz and Ollie.
-
Good luck to Bannan at his new club. I think his generation will be remembered as "What could have been" as I think they were partially ruined by not getting gradually bleeded into the team and by the two-three chaotic seasons.
If Bannan, Albrighton etc would've been gradually introduced to the first team in those two last seasons under MON I think they'd really benefitted from it and would've had better chance of reaching their potential.
Who knows, maybe under Holloway he can rekindle his career.

Roll up, roll up! Come and see Wee Barry and his amazing backspin!
-
Best of luck Wee Barry, hope it works out for you (thanks for your effort on the pitch in a Villa shirt).
-
I like Bannan. During a spell when we were absolutely dire he was the one player looking to slip that little ball into the danger area and actually create something. Shame it hasn't worked out for him at Villa and whilst I agree with that his drink driving offence was disgraceful i'm not going to hold that against him. Paul Merson is one of my favourite players of the past twenty years and I never held his drug/drink and gambling against him. Hope he goes on to have a good career which is a lot more than I can say about Stephen Ireland.

Craven Cottage Nov 2010 - Bannan with a glorious raking ball to Albrighton. Instead control on the chest and boom into the net. The kids were more than alright.

One of my favourite villa goals in the last few years, it's a huge shame that both of them have seen their careers go backwards.

I think Albrighton was adequately introduced to first team football. His problem came after that introduction - second-season dip followed by niggling injuries.

I wish the wee man all the best. Always seemed a decent lad

Apart from the drink driving and partying when supposedly injured.
I know what you mean, he certainly gave his all on the pitch, but off it all we know about him suggests that he's a little fanny.
