Barry Bannan to Leeds on loan.

[JD]

A lot of us think he should be getting playing time at Villa, but he isn't so the next best thing is for Bannan to get playing time elsewhere. Next year hopefully he will figure more in our starting line up. 

[Holtenderinthesky]

If only it wasn't to Leeds I'd agree with it.  I hate the thought of helping them out.  Still, we have more pressing matters to deal with than this virtually non-story imo.

"who needs Barry when you've got Barry Bannan

Ooooooohhhhh Barry Bannan

Well that's that song out the window then

[WikiVilla]

The fizzy pop league experience may come in handy next season
We should farm fonz out too and Hogg

[villa `cross the mersey]

I am uncertain whether pretty football is going to get us out of this mess - when it comes to a battle who would you rather have "in there"?

Pires, Bradley or Bannan?

Personally in a scrap I would rather have the likes of Delph, NRC and Wee Barry

Or are you another one who is ironically giving up on Villa because Hotlips gave up in the cup?

[UsualSuspect]

I'd rather have him coming on as a sub to make something happen than fucking Petrov. Whats Petrov going to do? Pass it backwards to the defence?

Exactly

All the talk about playing in the fizzy pop being just what BB I find a bit bewlidering

knock knock where was Bannan last season???

he's had the season on loan so now its time to man man up

[UsualSuspect]

We've been on a fairly decent run up to last week
------------------------------------------------------------

With respect are you barking mad?

Was that decent run beating blackburn and drawing with Fulham & Blackpool??

last 8 league games:

Wins 2
Draws 4
losses 2

hardly inspiring

I wish I could give up on Villa

[robinleper]

Has anybody else seen the similarities to Gary Cahill?
Bannan being allowed to leave for another premiership club (ie Bolton,sunderland) and really coming on as a top player.
I would rather see him being given game time here and become that top player we know he is

[Concrete John]

Just a quick point about Petrov from above:- having a level and experienced head who will have the presence of mind to pass it back to the defence and keep the ball when we're defending a lead might pick us up a couple of crucial extra points this season.

[Risso]

Do I think Bannan is a world beater who Houllier is mad to let out on loan?  No.

Do I think he's better than some of the players still in the squad, and that we'd be better of keeping him in case of injuries or suspensions?  Yes.

As I said "fairly decent", 2 defeats in 8, it's you who is equating that with inspiring. Over reaction seems to be something you are particularly adept at.

You might find it an easier cross to bear if you weren't on such a continuous downer Wiki!
Try a spot of positivity now and again.

Spot on.
Who's to say we won't have another nightmare with the injury list again?
