Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[pooligan]

If only he were as good as he seems to think he is .

Sounds to me like he would quite like to go back home to Holland, and if possible play for one of the top two or three teams there. This isn't beyond the realms of possibility given that the Dutch league isn't exactly of the highest standard.

The Mail have just picked up the Champions League bit as a rod for Villa fans to batter him with. Yes, he's been awful this season (who hasn't in that squad) and note he did say he would have to improve his game, but it's hardly a deluded wish to want to play for Ajax or PSV is it? He has been called up to the Dutch squad, and while I doubt they'd pay much of fee for him (or match the wages we pay him, which is why I assume he wants to wait a few years first), he'd probably do an okay job in the Eredivisie.

It's not as if he's talking about joining Barcelona is it?

Erm... not quite.

Did Bacuna play for Curaçao in either game over the weekend?

I can find the results but not the teams

[Clampy]

After reading some of these posts which included the words, wanker, tosser, fuck off etc, I was half tempted check to see if Bacuna had got himself caught up in some trouble off the pitch. So, he said he'd like to play Champions League football someday, so what? It's hardly the crime of the century. Someone said to me on here a while back that Bacuna's an easy target and he was absolutely right. He's been poor this season, but so have many others.

All he needed to say to any reporter was: "Right now I'm an Aston Villa player, and all I'm thinking about at the moment is doing my best for my club."

Dream all you like in private, but you've been elevated to a state of privilege unimaginable to most Villa fans. Respect that and respect the club that put you there.

[Jimbo]

Sorry, I forgot to add:

... you grinning halfwit.

[OzVilla]

If it was a one off I could let it go but it isn't. Leandro, you are one of the reasons we are where we are you stupid fucktard.

OS says that he "tasted success" so presumably he played.

Or they don't know either and just saw that Curacao won.

[cdbearsfan]

He started according to Transfermarkt.

[supertom]

Curacao?? Where the ruddy hell is that? It sounds nice though. Maybe it's what Bacuna daydreams about when he drifts off on the pitch.

I worked out there 13 years ago and hadn't heard of it before I went. Next to Aruba off the Venuzualen coast with an oil refinery. Majority of drugs from South America come through there to Amsterdam (it's in the Netherlands Antilles).

Thinking about it, The New Saints (TNS) in the Welsh Premier will qualify for Champions League

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.
