Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[paul_e]

If we're going solely on contribution (or lack of) in our relegation season, I would have gladly fucked them all off, save Ayew.  Even massive Villa fan Grealish, who offered next to nothing.

Pragmatism dictated that we couldn't get shot of them all though. Even with Tone burning through the TV money like a dose of salts.

So after that, you look at their contribution last year.  Bacuna did OK.

But he still has to take the fall for 15/16 in a way that other sinners don't, it seems.

Bacuna might've been shit in the relegation run in and early on last season but at least he was fit enough to get into a shirt to be available for selection but Gabby scored goals for us 5-6 years ago and scored against the blues so he's a legend.

[London Villan]

Gabby should have gone too, Blues goal or not.

Bacuna. Fuck right off.

Simply not good enough at Premier League or Champonship level. Some give him credit for having energy around the pitch but if he's useless on the ball, very much one footed, can't pass to a team mate, gives away possession cheaply, doesn't create anything and gives away unnecessary fouls then he's no good to us.

He made so many mistakes yesterday it was getting ridiculous and it was a relief to see him pulled off almost immediately after a shanked effort that flew over the bar. Hope he gets his wish and a move to another club as I dont want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Bacuna isnt a scape goat...he's just shit.

You could replace hims name with Hutton in the bold bit without changing anything else so why doesn't he get the same treatment?

[ASHTONVILLA]

I am hoping that Wyness is on the phone to Reading asking them if they still want to pay £1.5m for him!

You are right, but the Hutton thread isn't near the top of the forum at the moment and he actually had a reasonable game yesterday as opposed to Bacuna. I'd be much happier if we can get rid of both Bacuna and Hutton, but we need cover at right back so getting rid of Bacuna and keeping Hutton would be my choice between the 2 players.

Ok, I'll wait for you to tell Hutton to fuck right off next time he has a bad game then.

[kieron]

Bacuna should 'fuck right off' because of the many, many reasons already outlined over recent pages; not because of 'one' bad game yesterday, paul_e.

[LeeB]

The first thing I saw him do was run powerfully for about 50 yards (good), then he subsequently rolled a straightforward ten yard pass straight out of touch (not good)

If ever a passage of play summed up a player entirely, that was it.

I've already said I think he should be sold because it's the right thing for everyone I just don't see why he's singled out for all those things when most of them apply to gabby and hutton (to name 2) but they're fans favourites.

[KRS]

In a perfect world I'd see the back of Bacuna, Hutton and Gabby...but Villa Park isn't a perfect world at the moment so unfortunately it looks like we're stuck with them for now unless someone like Reading come in and take one of them off our hands...in which case we should snap their hands off and get rid as long (as it's a good deal for us financially). You can also throw Richards, Gardner, McCormack and Armavi into this equation too...with question marks hanging over the heads of Hogan, Lansbury and Hourihane.

If only the binmen weren't on strike.

Why do so many people always get on Hutton's back week after week? He always gives a 100%, never badmouths anyone (even when Lambert consigned hi, to the stiffs) and yesterday, as on many other occasions has a very decent game including setting up Gabby for his goal. I don't get it. Now Bacuna on the other hand .... !!!

[olaftab]

Hutton is 50/50 player. Yes he set up the ball for our goal and went awol on their goal.

It's usually the other way around with Hutton. Solid in defence but goes to pieces when he gets anywhere near the opposition's box.
