Barry Bannan to Leeds on loan.

[Shrek]

I'm glad he is going to be playing instead of been on the bench.

Kyle Walker spent 6 months at QPR and has fit straight in to our side, hopefully the same will happen with Bannan.

Because as has already bren said he has a great future with us.

We might need him this season.  We have lots of central midfielders, but not many of them are very good.

It's only a month loan initially isn't it? I'm sure we will have a recall option, plus don't we hardly have any games this month.

Wrong, it's until the end of the season, and if we want him back we have to give them a month's notice. 

Wrong??? I asked a question Risso.

I'm disappointed to see him go out on loan, for no reason other than I like watching him play.  That said, if GH isn't going to play him much between now and the end of the season I'd prefer him playing for Leeds' first team than sitting on our bench or in our stands.

I don't believe we can get relegated, so this season is turning into a bit of a damp squib - but if he comes back in the summer a little improved with some more first team experience, all the better for us I guess.

Potentialy our best central midfielder and should be ahead of Petrov, Bradley and Pires. We should have been getting him into a lot more games this season, he should be the natural understudy for the position we Play Young, GH knows best

It's says on the OS we have a recall option after 28 days, does anyone know how much notice we have to give to recall him?

We dont have to give any notice, we can recall him anytime after the 28 days have passed

Bayern Munich say manager Louis van Gaal will leave at the end of the season, one year before his contract is due to expire, because of "strategic differences". The 59-year-old Dutchman won the German double in his first season at Bayern and reached the Champions League final, but the club has slumped to fifth in the Bundesliga and has been eliminated from the German Cup.


He sounds like an ideal replacement for Gerard Du Gaffe.

Good decision. Playing regular in the heat of a promotion battle will do him good. I expect him to be ready for us next season.

Our most creative midfielder loaned out to Leeds while that useless, over-the-hill prick Pires is guaranteed a place at least on the bench for no other reason than he's a fellow cheese-eating surrender monkey.  Fuck me with the rough end of a ragman's trumpet Houlier is fucking clueless!  I can see Bannan off in the summer to a team that appreciates his considerable talents while Pires and fucking Petrov quaff the retirement champagne. 

Fuck my old boots but my piss is well and truly boiled!

Do you have to use that unoriginal, not even funny the first time phrase?

You can tell all the people who weren't at the Blackburn game last week.

Not one to spoil a good rant, but I thought Pires played well against Blackeye Rovers.

Apologies. i didn't realise originality was a fucking pre-requisite.

It helps. As does not coming out with xenophobic nonsense.

One of our most technically gifted footballers.  I think it's a shame he's going, but it may help his development, just pray they don't get promotion and he decides he might like a regular first team place in the PL.
