Much better than Hutton going forward, defensively against better players he is hugely suspect.

This is why I think we need a full-back signing. So we might as well have the one who is alright at something rather than the one who is no good at both parts.
Leandro Bacuna issues a message to the Aston Villa fans as he seeks redemption 22:30, 21 Aug 2016 By Gregg EvansBacuna determined to go from zero to hero this seasonLeandro Bacuna is enjoying a new lease of life at Aston Villa as he strives to win back the trust of the claret and blue faithful.Bacuna was booed towards the end of last season after a string of disappointing performances followed an interview where he claimed to want Champions League football within two years.It wasn’t his most memorable period in the Midlands but after knuckling down to win back his starting place, fans have started to appreciate his efforts once again.He was even filmed joining in with a Villa fan's chant as he drove through Birmingham recently.“We want to show the fans that we are not playing for ourselves as people have said before and want to do the best for Aston Villa and make sure the fans have a good time and we can win games.” he said“I think as a team we’re close, playing well and playing to win.”Bacuna has four years remaining on his Villa Park deal and appears to be happy once again.Boss Roberto Di Matteo is still searching for a new right-back but Bacuna’s versatility will make him a valuable asset in times ahead.Asked what he thought of Villa’s start to the season, the 25-year-old said: “We are fighting hard and creating good chances.“The luck was not on our side at Derby. We’ve been working on our shape first and trying to keep clean sheets.“From there on we try to create chances and try to get wins. I think we’re playing very well.“The only thing is that we need to get some wins and keep going higher up the table.”
I think Bacuna might be my favourite player at Villa. He takes stick for nothing reasons, like smiling/grinning; that Champions League interview was asking that if a Champions League club did come in for him, would he be interested - he said yes, as all footballers would. Yes he was a part of the team that was awful for a long time but for me he never hid away, didn't do an Okore and refuse to play, he's played wherever he's been asked to too.Good luck to him, I hope his confidence comes back and he shows his best. Loved the vid of him singing.
