Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[Dave]

I may be wrong about this but didn't Okore say something similar early on this season? I don't remember him being booed every time he touched the ball afterwards.

Yes but we were further away from doom at that point. He should be booed for being so daft as to not realise the way his comments would be interpreted at this stage.

Okore is maybe better equipped to play in the Champions League.

Bacuna got booed as he sums up the mindset of the modern bang average professional.

To think that he feels he's good enough to play on the same stage as the Footballing elite is farcical. To state his desire after his performances in public is an insult to our club.

in no way, shape or form is okore equipped to play in the champions league

totally unable to read the game and imo vastly overated

To be fair to both of them, Alan Hutton has played in the Champions League so I doubt that gives them the impression it's way beyond their abilities.

Aly Cissokho was in the first eleven of a team that reached a Champions League semi-final.

Here's what he said Whatever way you look at it , it's deluded given he is shit

“Within two years now I try to make my next move. Where this is going to be, I don’t know at the moment, but I want to grow in two years,” Bacuna revealed to Netherlands broadcasters NOS.


“That does not necessarily have to be in England.

“Ajax or PSV? I think so. If you look at those clubs, they play Champions League football almost every year. If you do you get a chance, why not?”

Deluded or not, he's giving the stock response to the question he's just been asked. 

He's obviously not going to answer "you're joking aren't you? Why would they want to sign me, I'm rubbish".

Maybe, I'm not sure where I will be in two years as at the moment I am contracted to Aston Villa, I think that would have been a bit more respectful , rather than giving the impression he is the one in control not us

You're right of course. Would be funny if he did though.

" I feel that I'm limited in my ability as a footballer to reach such levels. Sadly I must continue to play FIFA 16 to fulfill my ambitions in the game"

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

It's not like he's taken a dump on the Holte steps

Symbolically, that's exactly what he's done. I'm pleased that the fans have finally given up on feeling obliged to show blind loyalty to these aresholes. Bacuna is in no way the worst offender but is still a shyster of the highest order. I'm actually looking forward to the next few aways to give these fuckers a reminder that we pay their wages and they will listen to what we say, whether they like it or not. I hope they all take some real vitriol from people who have had enough. I see fans giving the players stick as a sort of mass Victim Statement.

[Hoppo]

I'd like to know who thought it a good idea to bring him on yesterday anyway?. What a terrible decision.

[PeterWithe]

He avoids hard work far better than he avoids questions, it really wasn't a tough question to sidestep.

It wasn't really a question that he needed to side-step.

The club didn't need another player showing a lack of awareness, the fans are looking for targets, Bacuna painted one on his own forehead. The media training, or his understanding of it, is poor.

An entirely avoidable episode.

Yes completely avoidable.

We're compiling an impressive list of avoidable episodes.

TSM3 I guess.

To think that he feels he's good enough to play on the same stage as the Footballing elite is farcical. To state his desire after his performances in public is an insult to our club.

A Dutch TV interviewer asked him if he would be interested in playing for Ajax or PSV if they wanted to sign him. He said yes. He hardly sent out a press release saying that he should be the next player that Barcelona bring in.

It's not like he's taking a dump in front of the Holte steps or burning Gordon Cowans.

Exactly, but he's the current scapegoat isn't he though? He answered a question about where he sees his long term future, nothing more. It's just very strange that fans felt the need to dish out the same treatment as they did to an ex-player who said he wanted to stop with us twice and still fucked off.

You make it sound as if the fans are somehow to blame here. As usual, Villa fans have been absolutely unbelievable this season. They've reached the end now though, in terms of blind support, and some of these players are going to feel the anger.  Bacuna can fuck off he he can't take it.

[OzVilla]

But Bacuna was dumb enough to come out with it when the fans need a lightening rod. The Board has changed so with Lerner not present it's hard to attack them, Garde has gone, step forward Leandro Bacuna.

Maybe Gabby made sure there were photos of him with the pipe to get out of any potential firing line for a while, just that the plan didn't quite work for Richards.

Not at all. Fans have every right to voice their opinion after the season we've had and you're right, the support has been phenomenal, especially on the road. They're all worthy of it though, not just one player who was a being honest in where he see's his future. Besides, he's played no worse than anyone else this season.

[supertom]

Bacuna isn't getting stick from one comment. It's a combination of many things from seemingly finding the anger and discontent of his clubs fans somehow amusing, to posting a picture of himself sunbathing without a care in the world not long after another shower of shite performance he contributed to, to the champions league comment...but above all the biggest problem many of us have is having to to see this fucker in a Villa shirt, week after week, year after c**ting year, like some sort of nightmare you can't escape. He's a bloody awful player who is stealing a living from the club and doesn't even make an effort on the pitch anymore. He's certainly not seemed to make any effort on improving himself as a player. There's no inclination whatsoever that he's learnt anything about trying to improve his abilities as a fullback.

He should never, ever player for us again. That isn't fan over-reaciton. It's the McGrath honest truth. He's not good enough to play for this club, but the fact he is, so regularly is one contributing factor in a whole raft of factors that have lead to us being relegated.

The fact is it's not merely 7-8 players letting his down. It's almost the entire bloody squad. A mixture of players lacking the talent, or desire, or application, or in some cases all of the above.

[VillaAlways]

I think if he'd started he wouldn't have been booed It was the fact he was considered our best option when we were 0-4 down. It was sheer and utter frustration and with his " honest" comments he made himself an easy target.
