Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Percy McCarthy]

Whatever peoples opinions of BB, he is part of our club's history and goes on the role of honour as a Scottish International.  To my knowledge (others may know better) he has never publicly criticised the club.  For all of the foregoing he deserves our thanks and I for one wish him well wherever his future takes him.

Seconded. As a reserves watcher he has given me some great memories of great football and winning trophies. At that level he's as good as Iniesta. Also, thanks to his mom for some real comedy gold sitting near her when she watched him play.
However, it's worth pointing out that when someone posted that article earlier, it didn't say he'd gone, nor mention a fee, undisclosed or otherwise, and it still doesn't.

Still, all the best Barry if the poster's imagination turns out to be correct.

Forget Ash Young. Soiled goods and he can rot in hell of manure third team!

Don't think he'd get in our front 3 at the minute to be honest. They link well together, suit each other. Ash Young would just spend his time falling over and running into blind alleys probably.

£750,000 doesn't seem like much for a 23 year old full international with 64 Premier League appearances.

people on here thought we would get £3 million . dreamers

Definitely.

I remember in particular a game against a very strong Manure reserve side and Bannan was masterful.

Was that the one we won 1-4 away? It was Bebe's debut for Man Utd and Bannan scored a hatrick, I think.

Maybe if I worded it as "with international experience" it would have carried a bit more weight.

Bannan scored two goals for us? The only one I remember is the scuffed penalty at Kwipir. What was the other one?

In Vienna, sadly I have not banished it from my mind 1-1, first time we played them.

Randy has clearly agreed to lose money to make money ie he came into SUCCER all naive with MON and now wants to 'reboot the franchise' on solid financial grounds with a highly rated coach. If this works, and it deserves to, all other clubs - yes, even them - will follow the lead. Most interesting things to happen since Saunders was in charge.

[danlanza]

Nothing wrong with BB. And well said paulcomben.
