Con Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Palace Fans joy at signing Bannan Con? Editing the responses like that is a bit of a cheap shot...

Add me on Xbox 360 or PS3 - Eaglelee79 Alert a moderator to this post big_palace_fan Today 12.18am I thought he was meant to be OK? Arsenal fans were slagging off Chamakh and he's nothing like what they said he was. Delaney was surplus to requirements at Ipswich too and was a rock last year. Alert a moderator to this post black eagle. south croydon. Today 12.20am 60 odd premiership games under he's belt,decent left foot,lets see what he can do,should he pass he's medical that is. Alert a moderator to this post matthau South Croydon Today 12.33am hes not that bad a player at all. similar to jonny williams. if hes in there to replace garvan then its still imoan iimprovement. but I do hope this is one of the smaller deals we complete tomorrow after buying a top cd and half decent target man. Alert a moderator to this post geezerspalace Maidstone Today 1.54am I didn't think he was that bad last season. At the same time does this signal perhaps the likes of Jedi going? I really hope not but..if he's not signing a new deal, who knows?

Some of the comments about Bannan here are just stupid. A lot of what we do today, and what we need to do, is not going to be about filling the 11 shirts in the starting line up. it's going to be about making squad numbers 20-25 much stronger. If we get 1 or 2 starters (second goalscoring forward and a centre back) today, I would be delighted. If the group as a whole is made stronger, and with more competition for places and cover for injuries, that will do just as much to keep us up. The reality is that Barry Bannan will make the back-end of the squad and the subs bench much stronger -- more Premiership experience, more depth, and some proven ability -- than it is now. At a low cost, this is a very good signing...under the radar, but it makes the group better. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

At a low cost, this is a very good signing...under the radar, but it makes the group better. indeed...whenever ive seen him play he looks like a hard working & clever little midifelder. like others have said similar player to jonny williams...my only negative thought towards this transfer would be would this signing stifle williams progression at all? i would hope not. but 700k for a player in his early 20's with a seemingly bright future in the game gets the thumbs up from me. astute signing! ‘Football isn’t instant coffee.

picicata Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 No personal dislike for the guy and at times I felt he had talent, that was unfortunately dwarfed by his a ability to hide when the going got tough and generally be a bit of a pussy on the pitch. Didn't have the fight to be in our first team and I suspect that Palace fans will be saying the same thing soon too. Good luck Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Best of luck to him. Barry has been here since he was 15. He made over 60 appearances for the senior side and was part of our successful academy team. The club now stand to receive over £1million for him. Not sure why a section of our own “fans” have turned on this lad (mainly on VT). When I think of all the wasters we spent millions on over the years.

mikeyp102 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I still wish him well and hope he does brilliantly for them. He'll be a MOTD player.

Didn't have the fight to be in our first team and I suspect that Palace fans will be saying the same thing soon too. Good luck Barry. That's not true at all. He never hid and he put in some tackles. Let's check his Squawka stats for last season: http://www.squawka.com/players/barry-bannan#performance-score#aston-villa-(current)#english-barclays-premier-league#8#season-2012/2013#2#all-matches#1-38#by-match He won one Squawka award for "best defence" in the team, made 36 tackles (22 successful), and 34 interceptions. That's more than 1 tackle and interception a game. In comparison to a central defensive midfielder - Delph, who played the same minutes as Bannan - Delph got 68 interceptions and 56 tackles (43 successful). However, Delph created 13 chances to Bannan's 34. My guess is we are keeping Delph because he can improve his chance creation/goalscoring more than Bannan can improve his defensive work.
