Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[eamonn]

Was sceptical that he might be the runt of the summer's litter, having not been able to even get into the Dutch U21 squad. There was also a reported general bemusement from Dutch fans that we had bought him. His debut against Liverpool didn't dispel any of that but his performances over the past week have been very encouraging. And a set-piece specialist is worth his weight in gold - which is why Baines will displace Cashley for the World Cup.

Also good to see he doesn't take no shit from nobody (like the moody dude in Cool Runnings). Delph aside, we're far too nice and have been going back to Dolly O'Dreary's days of honest lads and fickle sugarbags.

I thought he was decidedly dodgy in the first half, but superb in the second.

If that had been Lampard scoring the freekick then MOTD would have spent half a fucking hour fawning over it.
Bacuna, fucking class. Shove it up your arse City. UTV.

[Mister E]

He got a lot of stick after Liverpool but I think he did ok that game as well, cracking free kick

Better at right back than in midfield in my opinion.

He and Delph could be a magic combo in CMF over the next couple fo years: both like the ball at feet, are feisty and technically sound.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Brilliant player who I think will get even better.

So good you said it twice :-)

[Clampy]

I really like him, he's settling in pretty quickly which is a bonus. He didn't seem to have a clue where he was playing against Liverpool but since then he's found his feet.

Sitting in centre upper Witton End I jumped up as soon as the ball cleared the wall. It was a goal as Hart was nowhere near it and about a foot in from both bar and post. I am sure initially everyone around me  thought what's wrong with this NUTTER! Brilliant. I then felt we  could not lose this match.

I can see him becoming a Frank Carrodus type cult player, I used to pretend to be Frank in Sunday kick abouts with my mates on the Stray in Harrogate when it was Leeds Utd vs the rest, of which most were Yanited fans

I remember those days well, it seemed that well over half the kids at my school were Leeds fans and most ot the rest united - i wonder if those glory hunters still follow Leeds

I suspect they probably do Eastie, they were all pretty committed 'we are yorkshire' types and hard as nails. I used to get a right kicking from them at school in their doc martins and scarves tied round their necks and wrists when it snowed

[PaulWinch again]

He's looking very good, and his set pieces will potentially be a real added bonus.

[The Left Side]

Great free kick and getting better with every game.

Yep Lowton has a hell of a fight on his hands now, which is good.

Never saw Frank take a free kick like that, never saw him take a free kick actually lol
