villianusa Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Look for a thread on the young man but couldn't find one. If there is could a mod please merge them. From the bit I have seen of him I think he has a good future ahead of him but I hear others stating he is too small; he'll never make it in the top division. I am not from that particular school of thought so would like to hear recent views from people have seen him in the pre-season friendlies. Thanks,
GarethRDR Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 For his size he's quite tenacious and doesn't seem to shy away from physical side of the game. Players of similar stature have gone on to good things, I have every hope Bannan will go the same way.
MagicMarlon Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I'd like to go back out on loan to Blackpool to get a season of premiership experience behind him. He is definitely a talented kid, hopefully he has a bright future for us.
villianusa Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 What would you say his best talents are? Again from the little I have seen he could be someone who is able to open defenses. Not saying we haven't got players who do a decent job but I feel it comes natural to him.
MR.Smalljob Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 That was also the last I heard, he was a trouble kid
bickster Posted July 28, 2010 Moderator Posted July 28, 2010 because he went for a couple of pints in Blackpool after a defeat?
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 That was also the last I heard, he was a trouble kid He's no worse than the rest of them
MR.Smalljob Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 That was also the last I heard, he was a trouble kid He's no worse than the rest of them I don't know much about him to be honest,think it was MM who said he didn't have future in the club

barry'sboots Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Have only seen glimpses of Bannan in which he has looked good. With his size though he would have to be in a 5 man CM I would have thought.
claretandblue77 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 i dont care what the players get upto in there private life as long as they do it on the picth on game day. we all knew GOD was pissed most times he played but if you watched him on the pitch you would never know and at the time i didnt care.
villianusa Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 Have only seen glimpses of Bannan in which he has looked good. With his size though he would have to be in a 5 man CM I would have thought. Could I ask why you think that? Is it because he has short legs and it takes him longer to get across the field? Or down to him getting knocked off the ball a lot? If he is good enough then size doesn't matter. I have seen plenty of big players who made it and they were crap. No Heskey jokes please.
dogbonus Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Didnt see much of him last year. looked a good prospect the year before. I know there were some rumoured disciplinary problems at blackpool. Did he actually play much for them? he was a sub when they got promoted I think. doesnt look too good if he couldnt force his way in at the lower level

Ponky Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 The little fella can certainly hit it from a distance

Because I think to play two in CM in the modern game is very difficult and you probably need a strong athletic pairing with good technical ability, like Viera and Petit, to get away with it nowadays, certainly against the better sides.
