Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[Chris Jameson]

I'd take 500k for him to be honest.

You'd take 500k when someone has offered  £1.5 million? Can I buy your house, please? I'll give you twenty quid.

Hate to gazump you but I'm willing to pay fifteen quid.

I'm also happy to pay fifteen quid but I will spread the payments over twenty-five years.

[PeterWithesShin]

I bid £14 over 30 years.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm willing to offer £13 with a £6 bonus if we get promoted and an extra £100 if we win the FA Cup before 2057.

So, £13.

[TimTheVillain]

Is he a midfielder? Is he a winger ? is he a full back ?

Nope, he's a 'Bacuna'

Wouldn't that be gazundering?

For all his faults and he has many, he still merits a place in the starting line up as much as if not more than the midfielders brought in to supposedly improve us.

Would not surprise me to see him start in central midfield on Saturday.

I agree.  He gets a lot of shit on here (and other fan sites) but I've never really understood why.  He's technically better than Gabby, Hutton and Baker, has never taken the piss out of the club like the former and makes far less mistakes than the other 2 but because he doesn't fit into exactly the right spot on the 'grumpy but not too grumpy' scale people seem determined to slag him off over everything and go out of their way to find offence in anything he does. 

Seeing people sulk about Baker being sold for a decent fee and then moaning at us not accepting a low ball offer for Bacuna is just another case of fans having a very narrow view of what 'putting a shift in' means and being willing to forgive people being poor so long as they fit that view and anyone who doesn't fit is a waster/hollywood/showpony/whatever.  I don't think Bacuna is great by any means but given the prices going round right now less than £3-4m for him is taking the piss, much the same as when the rumours about Baker were £2m it felt too low but £4m seemed ok.

Not sure how Hutton or Baker ever took the piss out the club .....

It would be in his own interests to move on .....I will be in Berkshire on Wednesday if he wants a lift to Reading

[PeterWithesShin]

He didn't say they did take the piss, he said "former" meaning Gabby. And makes less mistakes than Hutton and Baker.

He will pop up in goal one day

They haven't. But then again, Paul doesn't claim that they did.

I'm out, I'm going to buy Bacuna instead.

[AV5nobs]

Willing to offer £500 right now if we get promoted.

PM me if interested.
