Daniel Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 "i'm a player that likes to create chances" 4 assists in 39 starts LOL 1 in 10 during a very bad period at the club. He helped keep us in the Premier League. That's the Bannan legacy. Still fighting till the bitter end. I admire that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Goodbye, Barry. I didn't rate you much, but I wish you the best in your new career. I'm feeling better disposed to you now you've moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 1854: PALACE LATEST New Crystal Palace signing Barry Bannan says that Ian Holloway was a big factor in his move from Aston Villa. "I went back home to Scotland over the weekend ahead of meeting up with the international squad so I've had to travel back down but it's a great bit of news for me," he said. "I was at Blackpool with the gaffer here when they got promotion that year and that was probably the highlight of my career so far. "It is a big move for me to leave Villa and I would like to thank the fans there but it's a new chapter in my life now and I can't wait to get started. "I want to get myself in the door and start training and hopefully get myself in the team. I haven't played this season and didn't much last year so I can't wait to get going."

Kingfisher Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Good luck to him, didn't quite make the grade. As I predicted, he's found a promoted premier league club, and we've likely received a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2013 Always a pity when one of our youth players don't make it here, wish him good luck for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Good luck Bannan! Liked that he thanked the fans, can't imagen he'doesn'treading this thread. I remeber when nobody gave a shit about the wage bill. Back then fans didn't abuse players on internet forums and weren't this happy to see academy players leave. But now when the bill is factor people should start blameing the ones handing out this contracts. Don't get me wrong I am glad he found a new club, because Lambert doesn't rate him, but I rather see our youth players succeed here at Aston Villa FC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillz Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Met him once on a night out in Brum. He was off his face but managed to put a sentence or two together and seemed nice enough, loved the fact i remembered that pass to Albrighton against Fulham! Wish him all the best with palace!

Yep, don't think he deserves some of the criticism he gets but that's more with people arguing with con than with bannan himself. Won't miss those horrific set prices though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I genuinely think many of us wouldn't have been as happy if it wasn't for Con and his bloody heatmaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Showed some ability on the ball at times and always showed a willingness for the ball. Unfortunately, couldn't make the complete step up and struggled at times. Hopefully goes on to have a good career. Another million made from the youth team, it may not make world beaters so far, but has generated a very decent amount for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Good Luck to him, a nice little footballer, just not good enough for where we want to be. That was a good pass to Albrighton though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just saw him speak on sky sports. Quite a dignified interview considering. I though Bannan got treated quite harshly by fans last year. Yes he was poor but no way was he the cause of all our issues the way some fans made out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think people on here would have been more kindly disposed to Bannon and would have been disappointed to see an academy player not making the grade at Villa if it were not for Con's ridiculous postings.

I though Bannan got treated quite harshly by fans last year. Yes he was poor but no way was he the cause of all our issues the way some fans made out. He wasn't world class either. Closer the the former (poor) than the way he was put across by one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 For people blaming me, I only registered for this forum about November 2012. Read this thread up to the time before I was posting before making me a scapegoat for Bannan leaving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
