AstonMartin82 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 He has improved since his Villa days... it was only a few months ago that he missed a similar chance from an even closer distance. If ever there was proof of a player being World Class here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That will be lauded as goal of the season by some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartin82 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 If only Bannan ever did the work of Cameron Jerome, who got the assist, then I might begin to think there is hope of a good player in there. However, scoring a goal from 5 yards and making Cameron Jerome look like a world beater is absolutely not proof of a good player. At least he didn't miss this time.

It would have been had it also been possible for people not to give him credit when he's done absolutely nothing to deserve it.

supernova26 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Great awareness in finding the space tbf and did well to finish being under pressure from the Hull defender. Well done Bazza. We miss you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 In all seriousness though, good for Bannan. If he has found a place where he can play, then more power to him. He wasn't good enough for us but maybe he is good enough for palace. Bannan to Palace is Pareto efficient. HAHAHA good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We miss you. Any human being with 2 legs would have been able to finish that move. If these are your standards for Aston Villa, and indeed the Premier League then your player judgement seriously has to be called into question. That, or you are trolling. Just like your mate Con.

PaulMcgrathsknees Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Highlights again prove Bannan to be hopeless. (Did he actually score or was it an own goal?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 IMO we should place a bid for him in January. He's obviously matured a lot as a player in the few months since he's left, seeing that quality strike today, about 10-15 million would be a good deal IMO.

I hope we've got a sell-on clause for his inevitable move to Barcelona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Lambert will go down as one of the worst managers in footballing history - purely for letting what is obviously the best footballer in the history of the world go for such a small price.

Con Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If Con wasn't posting a load of nonsense about how good he is, I wouldn't be posting about how awful he is. Simples. Only one of us can be right? Either he is "awful" or he's as good as I've said. It's your opinion that my observations based on last season's statistics are nonsense. Fact is, compared to the rest of the squad, he did have a good season, because when he played generally the team did well. Don't sound surprised all over again as I've posted the stats again and again. He was also noted in media for his astonishing crossing accuracy. These are the stats that showed we should have kept him. What happened was, Lambert bought in Westwood over the previous summer and decided to stick with where he spent his money and sell Bannan. The best thing we can hope for if Bannan does a Ramsey on the back of much higher confidence levels is Palace get relegated we offer to buy him back, and Bannan still would like to come back.
