Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[wittonwarrior]

It actually rate him when his mind is set on it can block move the ball and is a decent crosser but on his bad days we all know how poor he can be

[brentastonb6]

I like him, I see all his bad points too like the free kick strop but maybe it's a sign of how far we've fallen that I see him like others do in the starting eleven as he puts a shift in IMO

[Matt Collins]

When everyone's on form and fit I'm hoping he may not even make the bench. Lansbury or hourihane should offer more

But I think I might start him on saturday

I would say both are better on the ball than him, but they don't offer his mobility which I think could be a deciding factor in him potentially starting on Saturday.  I'm beginning to think more and more that if we are going to play 4-4-2, we are going to need a more athletic and dynamic player alongside Whelan and that we might have to look to bring one in as Bacuna is not the long term answer in there.

At the moment, I'd pick him over Houlihane, hes more mobile and physical. He really needs to improve if he's to make his mark here.

I don't think he is good enough on the ball to be a long term fixture in central midfield.  His best bet is at right back, but is way down the pecking order in that position.

This says more about the success of Bruce's transfers than anything, not many hands up for starting Hogan either.
Bacuna should be no where near the starting X1 by now.

I'm not surprised, Hot Lips was born in 1937.

I though she was alda than that

Would be dubious about him in a four man midfield (with only two central midfielders).

But on the right of a midfield three, he gives us a turn of pace and physicality we otherwise don't possess.

He is capable of putting a good ball in (and putting some utterly dreadful ones in too, in fairness), dropping in to cover the full-back if Elmo is bombing forward and has shown in previous seasons that he can finish from in and around the penalty area.

Aston Villa midfielder Leandro Bacuna wants to leave the Championship club and was disheartened by a section of the home faithful booing him as he was substituted at the weekend, according to Football Insider.

The 25-year-old was given the nod by Steve Bruce to start the 1-1 draw against Hull City on Saturday evening, with the Curacao international replaced by Andre Green in the 70th minute.

With Bacuna splitting the fans’ opinions due to inconsistency during his time with Villa, he was not treated to the warmest reception upon his substitution.

The report suggests that the former Groningen man is angling for a move to Championship rivals Reading, who are believed to have had an offer for the right-sided midfielder rejected earlier in the summer.

[Leicester_Villian]

Its quite simple with Bacuna .....sell him to reading and what ever they offer and get him off the wage bill

He offers AVFC nothing apart from a new hair cut every week

[in exile]

Brand new season - same old Bacuna

He's nowhere near good enough to start for us.
