Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[dave shelley]

I would imagine constant chorus's of: You're shit and you know you are, would pretty well cover it.  You get 'em all with that.

[PeterWithe]

Shining beacons of honesty, the pair of them.

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.

Exactly my take on it, LeeB.  I'm not for booing any player in a Villa shirt (nor opposition players for that matter: I've seen it be counter productive to the Villa cause on too many occasions), but this lot are the exception to the rule on so many levels.   Make their working environment as uncomfortable and miserable as they've made the fan' leisure environment.  If it has them on the phone to their agents agitating for a move sooner rather than later, it'll be a job well done.

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

[PeterWithe]

I really don't want to hear from any of our players in the press, these meaningless platitudes before getting stuffed every week annoy me.

Whatever crap they come out with bares little relation to the lack of any kind of application I see with my own eyes every week.

The 'distance run' statistic completely damns the team, they dont work as hard as the other teams so they are getting relegated.

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.

I've always had the same opinion. Never really booed anyone ( well maybe Alpay when he scored that goal) because of my concern of how it affects others in the team.

But now I think all bets are off although we can still support the guys who are putting a shift in.

Saturday will be fascinating. We're playing a so called "relegation certainty" at the start of the season who are comfortably safe.

And the players thought yesterday was bad! What's it going to be like if Bournmouth give us a footballing lesson??

[PeterWithe]

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

The general lack of professionalism that permeates through the squad is unparalleled imo. In most cases when a club is suffering like this you'd hear all manner of stories about senior pro's going off their tits and bust ups galore. The difference for us is that some clown made the worst perpetrators captains. You can't can't make up the story of our recent demise.

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

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.

Okore has played Championship League football and was very impressive.

[VillaAlways]

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?”

Dutch TV interviewers clearly have a great sense of humour then.

He might not be taking a dump in front of the Holte End but in footballing terms he is.
