Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[Isa]

It was the second-time this season that he completely shackled Redmond.

I didn't realise he was playing until he went off.

Allow me to pile on with the love in. I love his pace. Some point in the second half he sprinted back to cover Vlaar and stopped a breakthrough with a lovely tackle. Yesterday was one of the few times recently where I thought both our wingbacks were a huge asset to us. Speaking of which Bertrand also had an excellent game, fast, reads the game well. I hope he wants to be signed and we do sign him up in the summer.

[Dante Lavelli]

I say it quietly as it's not a formation I like but 352 may suit the players we currently have.

Okore / Vlaar / Clark compliment each other and are all reasonably comfortable on the ball.  The new and improved Baker ready to fill in for either Clark or Vlaar, Herd/Lowton/Donnacien maybe for Okore.  Bacuna is arguably a perfect wing back and Bennet and Luna would be less exposed.

I don't think he's a full back. He's liable to drop a bollock, and was lucky to get away with that stupid handball at Newcastle. He has a punchable face too. Apart from all that he's alright.

[Olneythelonely]

He definitely has a punchable face. But it's our face.

I really like him. I do think he'll be a regular midfielder for us eventually. Pacy, good technique and has an eye for goal. Is probably worth 5 times what we paid for him.

[Smirker]

Just realised his goal was with his weaker foot too.

It's Leandro
You know
Hard to believe it's not Ronaldo

Any good?

[brian green]

We first saw him at Bochum and he really shone in that warm up game.   He looked the pick of our summer signings.

[dekko]

He does not have a punchable face.  He is dashing and handsome and good at football and your all just jealous.

[claret and blue blood]

Jesus if he has a punchable face most people I know need tackling with a baseball bat!

[Smirker]

I don't think he has a punchable face either. Has a boyish cuteness about him.

[PeterWithesShin]

Pardew is a punchable face. Bacuna's isn't.

[Lastfootstamper]

He does not have a punchable face.  He is dashing and handsome and good at football and your all just jealous.

Gonna have to agree with the jealousy bit. I have it on good authority from two girlies that he is, in fact, "beautiful".

[PeterWithesShin]

If he wasn't a footballer he'd be in a boy band.

Pardew is a punchable face. Bacuna's isn't.

Especially so if he puts the nut on you.
