Barry Bannan to Leeds on loan.

[PaulTheVillan]

Pravda or whatever the f**k it's fancy name is.
Once this horrible season is out of the way, I'm sure he'll be a big player for us. 

[Villa'Zawg]

There was a report at the weekend that Bannan, Delfouneso and Herd would be going out on loan.

[cdbearsfan]

For fuck's sake. Lose the player most capable of playing the ball through that Darren Bent feeds on. Help the most hated club in the Football League get promoted in the process.

Utterly ridiculous.

[eastie]

He will do well at Leeds- good luck to him, I expect fonz to go to Ipswich too. Pity we never offered him back on loan to Blackpool as part of a deal for Adam.

Barry bannan will be a huge player for us next season but houllier clearly thinks he's not quite ready yet to play a major role.

[TonyD]

Should be playing and starting for us not Leeds.  He needs PL experience!!  For me the most exciting player we have,  well alongside MA!!

GH you are priceless.   

[PaulTheVillan]

He's going to get games, next season we could be without Pires, NRC, Petrov & Bradley out of the current lot.

GH obviously thinks it's experience heads in the middle that'll keep us up this season.

[Risso]

I'd much rather have the likes of Bannan in the squad than Pires.  Bannan is exactly the sort of footballer we whould be nurturing, not wasting time on has beens like Pires.

[saunders_heroes]

Can't say I'm too fussed about this. I don't think he's as good as many on here make out he is. At least not yet anyway.

[Legion]

For fuck's sake. Lose the player most capable of playing the ball through that Darren Bent feeds on. Help the most hated club in the Football League get promoted in the process.

Utterly ridiculous.

Absolutely.

[UK Redsox]

To be a success for Villa at the moment, Barry needs to be playing alongside a dominant midfielder. We haven't got one of those and have to mix and match with the lesser talents.

Therefore, for this season, I think that sending Bannan out on loan makes sense. I just wish it was to QPR, Cardiff of Forest rather than Leedzzzzz

[olofmilosevic]

FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!! he's better than pires and Bradley

[Simon Ward]

I'd much rather have the likes of Bannan in the squad than Pires.  Bannan is exactly the sort of footballer we whould be nurturing, not wasting time on has beens like Pires.

Agreed Martin

[VillaAlways]

I thought it was only about a week or so ago that they were saying that there was no way he was going on loan this season and he didn't want to go but would rather fight for a place here.There is a recall clause apparently

[PeterWithe]

I like Bannan and think he's a very promising player but I don't think he's quite ready yet so I'm not too fussed about this.

[Chris Smith]

For fuck's sake. Lose the player most capable of playing the ball through that Darren Bent feeds on. Help the most hated club in the Football League get promoted in the process.

Utterly ridiculous.

Ashley Young has gone to MK Dons!
