Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[ciggiesnbeer]

Nice couple of free kick goals during his first season.

But thats pretty much it.

I said when we bought him that he'd be the best of the bunch that Lambert bought at that time, which has turned out to be the case, but it's been more like him being the last bit of a turd that won't leave the side of the pan without brush intervention.

Yep, that's it. He got a new 5 year deal out of it as well. Madness!

[PeterWithesShin]

He got a new contract 2 years after joining, a contract that means we get a fee rather than he'd have left on a free by now. Even if you think he's shit I don't see any madness in that.

[Clark W Griswold]

That one season he was probably our third best player after Benteke and Delph. Never got close to it since, I think Elhommady is a better version and there isn't really a point to him being here now.

A truly awful player. The very epitome of mediocrity. get rid.

But we probably paid him more in wages than we'll get in transfer fee for him. Basically he's been a complete waste of cash.

£1.5m or more and we'll be in profit on the extra time he was here because of his contract, maybe even less than 1.5m as I doubt he was on that much (in footballing terms). Either way though it wasn't madness imo.

I'd agree with you if Bacuna had performed well for his wages over these last few years but basically he's done sweet FA.
I'm glad he's leaving.

I agree PWS.  I think putting him, Westwood and Gardner on longer contracts was done as an attempt to maximise their transfer fee when sold rather than a reflection of their contribution.

I don't think it's possible to be truly awful and the epitome of mediocrity at the same time.

[Matt C]

Another to add to the collection of players from the last five years or so that I'll struggle to remember even played for us.

[AV5nobs]

Just for scoring that bizarre one two with yourself v Bitters Leandro I thank you, good luck.

[ChicagoLion]

That Bruce picked him on Saturday to sell him a few days later begs the question, what the fuck are you playing at?

[sickbeggar]

When he arrived i thought he was one of the poorest players ever to put on our shirt  even though he did appear to be trying. Now he's found his level i could see him playing 300+  plus games for a championship/Div1 side. I assume he was another lambert punt on polishing a turd when the reality was we needed to spend more money on a better player
