Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[in exile]

(it's in the Netherlands Antilles).

Or for us old farts the Dutch Antilles

It's always been the Netherlands Antilles, since it was formed as a group in 1954 until the were officially separated into different countries in 2010.

I seem to remember the Dutch Antilles on news reports in the 70's.
They were always "informally called" the Dutch Antilles according to Wikki

Well, at least Bacuna is playing international football, albeit for a country that would struggle to beat Lundy (although they'd easily defeat Villa). It's not as if he was ever going to be selected for the Dutch team from Holland in The Netherlands.

Stoke is about his level, in fact scrub that, Hull, he can get a ferry to Europe from Hull. The mans an arse.

You say that but they called up Van Arnholt for the England match.

A couple of flukey goals over xmas isn't going to convince me he isn't one of the worst starting regular players in the premier league along with Bacuna.

I don't get the vitriol for Bacuna. He's not the best player we've ever had but he's also nowhere near the worst. I hadn't actually looked at this thread for ages and when I clicked the new posts button it took me to May last year where almost every post was singing his praises.

I suspect the change in under a year has been in terms of perception rather than his ability.

[SoccerHQ]

He's had good spells for under Lambert and Sherwood.

This season he's been dreadful but like so many without Benteke bailing them out they all look so poor.

I actually think he'll be alright for us in the championship if he stays, will score and assist a bit down there with the poorer quality.

At the moment Stoke are streets ahead of us, so that's quite a complement

He wouldn't get into Hull's side either. Mumbles might have him at Blackburn if he's not been sacked

His desire to play CL football has alerted Real Madrid - they are hoping they draw whomever he goes to play for in the first round so they can put their U17 team out and still comfortably dominate down the left!

Champions League!!! Haha. Is this the same bacuna who played against Wycombe this season and following a pathetic display laughed in the faces of angry Villa fans? What planet is he on in his tiny mind??? League 1 or 2 is more his level and that's being kind to one of the poorest footballers I've ever seen represent my team in terms of ability, skill, work ethic and attitude. Unfortunately most,  if not all of the others currently play for AVFC now!!!!

Glad to see he got booed every time he touched the ball. Wanker

[PeterWithesShin]

As I said in the match thread, I can see why he got hammered, but I think it's a tad unfair he was singled out while the likes of Richards and Lescott who are at least as big a pair of wankers as Bacuna got away scot free.

Fully deserved. Shame Richards, Lescott and Guzan didn't too.

You're probably right, but when emotions are running high, logic goes out of the window.

you are right , I thought it would have been a great idea to have had Gabby in the squad and bought him on , can just imagine the shit he would have got.
