Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[wittonwarrior]

Think he played well at Sheffield wed and was exceptional yesterday let him be unless you want a team of huttons and division 3

[tomd2103]

Apparently his wife's birthday. Driving, so hopefully not drinking. Sunday off. Cannot see too much of a problem, really.
And for all we know, he might even have asked RDM and been given permission.

Might well be the case, but I just find it a bit surprising.  As I said before, know a couple of pros and one who has played in the Championship.  They would always be in on Sunday if they had played on a Saturday and got a game on a Tuesday. 

Edit - would like to add that I'm not trying to find a way to have a go at Bacuna.  He had a good game yesterday and if he can continue that kind of form it is time to let bygones be bygones.

Yes, no doubt that's the norm. But Villa hasn't been a 'normal' team for some time now. No league win for half a calendar year... I'm pretty sure I saw a RDM quote from after the match, stating that the players hadn't experienced a win for a long time, and needed to enjoy it before focusing on the next game. To me, that sounds like they might be given some time off.

Whatever the circumstances, I was impressed to see that interacted with Villa fans while out, and burst into singing 'Villa till I die'.

Fair play to him.
As I said elsewhere, his redemption is nearly complete I reckon.

What surprised me most about his attitude last season was that somebody on here a good while back said he had been in his house and it's full of Villa stuff and he's supposedly become a bit of a Villa nut since he joined us.

[Percy McCarthy]

He just looks happy to me, and there's no proof that he was drinking either. Let him enjoy himself for crying out loud.

well said SH

I agree as well.
