He never kicked on really, and not entirely sure about his attitude. Good luck to him though.

I'd have persevered with him for another season personally but maybe it's what he needs. Thought we might have got a bit for him than that if that's the price but good luck to him, he's a good player.

Its good for everybody ......

Fringe player off wage bill - not large in terms of wages
750k now - would have got nothing next year
Gives him chance to start again at level better suited to

Hope he can sort out his "big time charlie" attitude

Good luck to him. Sincerely. (as long as he doesn't come back to haunt us at some point!)
Perhaps someone at Blackburn will teach him how to take a corner. ;-)

Apparantly he wants a pay rise to go there, above the 17k a week he's earning at Villa.

Make of that what you will.

Good luck Barry, I reckon this will do him good.

He was not going to make it for us which is a bit of a shame. It's quite ironic as Lambert obviously gives youth a chance but I reckon Barry would have been more successful at a time for Villa if he was slotting into a more established and stable side with some more experienced and wiser heads around him.

Very quick to condemn on the basis of one post with the word "apparently" in it.

Good luck Barry.

I actually rated him , but unfortunately either attitude or commitment let him down a bit .

I wish him every success.

Well the Venkys are probably reading this thread and think they've signed Messi or Iniesta so anything's possible up there.

I don't think he'll be missed.

I hope there is a sell on clause in that deal as he was very highly rated so may realise that potential if he can sort his head out.

I think he had the talent it just seems that the application and professionalism wasn't there. Compare the talent and application between Bannan and Westwood and you get your answer.

I wish Bannan all the best and hope he realises and uses his talent properly.
