Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

I would love to see him gone!!! I hope Villa can make this happen!

Bacuna is rank average. Move him on and get better in.

[eamonn]

He has patches where he looks busy and aggressive going forward. Unfortunately, none of the players ahead of him currently are that much better so unless we're getting a Baker-like fee, I'd hold onto him.

Me too. I'm surprised he's still here really. Let's hope they come in with another offer.

Lets hope they come back for Bacuna .....make him think they are Champions League

How do people still bang on about this complete non-story?

[Toronto Villa]

He has ambitions to play in the CL. So what? I'm glad he has those goals even if they might appear right now a long way off. But then again a former player of ours who many weren't sad to see the back of is now captain of his Dutch champions in this seasons CL.

[PeterWithesShin]

He was asked in an interview if he'd like to play in CL and like every other player in the country he said yes. I'd be more bothered if he didn't want to play in it.

[ASHTONVILLA]

I don't dislike Bacuna, but he is third choice or lower for all the positions he plays. The offer is for about what we paid for him so given we need to make savings on the wage bill I'd be inclined to take the money. He is pretty disposable.

[Malandro]

Benteke made him look good. Sell if somebody is daft enough to buy.

Amazingly, it was even more innocuous than that.

He was asked "if you came back to the Eredivisie, would you like to play for someone like Ajax or PSV?"

He said, "sure, they play in the Champions League so who wouldn't?"

What the fuck is he supposed to say? "No, I'm saving myself for Nijmegen or Go Ahead Eagles, because in all honesty I've always thought I'm a bit shit"?

And then a bunch of people who can't read past a newspaper headline wet their knickers.

We're trying to trim the squad by jettisoning shit players. Bye Leandro.

[ChicagoLion]

Could not give a toss about the CL myth.
Want him gone because of his attitude and ability.

[saunders_heroes]

I agree. He's stunk the place out for years. I honestly thought we'd never see him again once we were relegated yet two season later he's still here. It was absolute madness giving a player as limited as him a five year deal.

[PeterWithesShin]

I like him, although he isn't the greatest player obviously! He's the kind of player I think you need as a squad player. Was cheap, low(ish) wages and can play a number of positions. Over a 46 game season a player like that is needed especially from the bench.

We've had a massive bench of utter shite ready at a moment's notice to deputise for dreadful mediocrity. It doesn't work Peter.
