Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[Whiney MacWhineface]

"Um"

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm glad Sherwood seems to rate him, hopefully much higher than Hutton. He is a bit dodgy defensively but adds a lot going forward.

Probably got a new contract on the strength oh his appearance  on The Rose of Tralee. Think Father Teds 'Lovely Ladies Competition'

It's brilliant what a game of opinions football is - my view on Bacuna is that no Premiership player should be incapable of getting their head up when on the ball - he might be vaguely adequate as a wing back but he is bang average as either a full back or a winger.

Sits in the group with Gabby for me....whilst they are first team regulars this team does not improve enough to compete away from bottom 6/7

Well he was decent enough against that chap from Man Utd who reading the press yesterday must be the love child of George Best and Bobby Charlton with Stanley Matthews as his uncle.

I really like Bacuna. For what we paid for him, he's been well worth the money and overall he's not really let us down when he's played so i'm pleased he's got his new contract.

I have appreciated Bacuna's passes from the wing which always seem to set somebody up for a run on goal. He's great at the overlapping back/ wing thing and not too shabby at the full back thing.

I just don't see it, I'm not a fan, and with the new players, he looks even more out of place.
Maybe he will benefit with a better team around him, fingers crossed.

How has he looked out of place in the first 2 games, I honestly can't see how you'd come to that conclusion.

I think Tim is pretty brutal with players - if he thinks LB is good enough for this deal then that's good enough for me.

Wasn't Depay the one who easily got in behind Bacuna for that chance to make it 2-0?

Good news.

You mean the one that got played that fantastic cutting ball that my dead granny could have put in?

Surely that was caused by Ayew losing the ball just inside our half catching everyone on the back foot. We'd pushed forward from the back at that point and the ball through was good that should have been converted.

[SoccerHQ]

I like Leo, he's not as bad as some make out at RB and going forward.

Even if he isn't first choice in the future we still need those types as squad players so no problem with this.
