Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[N'ZMAV]

I imagine Juventus will want Bacuna to replace Pogba when he joins Man Utd.

It's amazing how an innocent remark that he made can cause so much fury, it's ridiculous.

Lighten up a bit

Also, you don't know that my comment was referring back to his "remark"... I could have been referring to his outstanding ability as a footballer...

I didn't see anything in your post about his ability as a footballer, so I guessed it was about his remark.

Agree.
He was far from being our worse player.
One thing I noticed was, even with the crowd on his back, he never went missing from the games

you are joking right? On quite a few occasions, he was clearly giving less than 100%

Tell me the games he went missing from when his every touch was booed?

He should have gone off after his back pass!! vrs Southampton (?) just before h/t. It was horrendous, but could, and should, have been dealt with, but had Richards bothered to rush back to help Guzan and Lescott  a goal would not have been scored. Baccuna took the full brunt of the crowds frustration where, imo, Richards was equally, if not more,  culpable. But he was back, and booed even more, but still carried on.

I don't happen to buy into the 'not gIving 100%' club. Not good enough, certainly, though.

I agree Nigel. I think he was constantly selected because he showed that he has great inner strength and was psychologically strong. He was always at the forefront of the team and tried to make things happen. Such was the season that just about everything that could go wrong did. First half an hour at Sunderland he, and us, were brilliant. Top class. Then we shipped goals and he played his part in the unbelievable third goal. Their hands and belief had been dragged out of them.

In that toxic last couple of months he maybe needed to be rested to protect himself from the baying crowd, but to his credit he didn't hide, he did try but suffered from a lack of confidence, a crowd always on his back, a lack of experience on the pitch to put an arm around him, and a situation off the pitch spiralling out of control. Add that to a dysfunctional dressing room and given his age it's little wonder Bacuna looked out of his depth and like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

This happens a lot from May to August. Lots of fans tend to forget just how shit certain players are. Bacuna is a dreadful footballer woefully out of his depth in the PL and I can't see him being any better in the Championship either. We need to get rid of the rubbish that destroyed our PL status, and boy is he rubbish.

Agreed 100% Absolute Garbage get rid

I cant name particular games but it was obvious to me that he wasn't giving 100% in certain games, and I am talking about before the booing started. A number of times when possession was lost, he didn't try 100% to get it back or chase back to try and stop the opposition attack.

And I'm not just singling out Bacuna either.  I think it was true of a number of players, Hutton being another prime culprit.

In my mind, the booing started because fans could see that players weren't giving 100%, not the other way round

that's a different point though. If a player isn't good enough, then fair enough, not his fault and then he shouldn't be selected in the team. But not giving 100% is inexcusable

Randomly you pick the prime example of a player I would have picked as never lacking in effort. Granted, I stopped watching most of our games at the very end but ive never noticed Hutton slacking
