coda Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is probably his season highlight. I love this thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 How did he manage to find a gif of just Bannan passing the ball 10 yards ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2013 You know a player's had an incredible season when his highlight is a 10 yard pass that a 4 year old could make. I'm sure in Con's world, that pass ranks as some sort of "key pass", which is why it's a "highlight". I don't think Con sees the game as football. He just sees it as numbers on a screen.

villa-revolution Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Probably best for all parties involved if he moves on. Ghost! We will all be having parties when he moves on. Believe me, Peter Stringfellow has never taken so many pre-bookings for June 30th 2013. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Con, please answer this honestly - do you know Barry Bannan in person? No! The question is again framed to suggest it is completely strange to say anything positive about Bannan's football. You must have an ulterior motive! I'm just looking at the stats, and some of the highlights and coming to a logical opinion based on those. Some of you guys are scapegoating based on misunderstanding his game, and some don't like us having a small technical player in midfield. The latter group have been complaining about his every appearance since the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that debunks your 2nd point. For your first point to be correct, it would mean that everybody is wrong and you are right? Are we agreed on that?

I suspect the truth about his abilities and what he offers to our first team or squad, lies somewhere between the 'scapegoaters' and your good self. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be fair, I've got criticisms and I've made them in this thread. It would be wrong to say I'm someone who is constantly gushing with unjust praise and never says anything critical. That's why I say I have a balanced view, but when I use the word "balance" it makes some sections of this thread go crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could start afresh and state who you would currently drop to accomodate Bannan and explain his strengths in direct comparison with our current first team midfielders.

dudevillaisnice Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is probably his season highlight. hahahaha this thread is brilliant (last few pages anyway) but this just tops it off It's just a pass forward... really NOTHING in it. You are for sure Bannan or related to Bannan. If not i'll be worried you seem VERY obsessed with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Perhaps you could start afresh and state who you would currently drop to accomodate Bannan and explain his strengths in direct comparison with our current first team midfielders. In case you haven't been following this thread (wouldn't blame you not to) I've said for the last couple of fixtures - prior to the games - I would not start Bannan. I've made this clear but it doesn't have any affect. I must fall into line with the popular (in here) dogma. If I don't there will continue to be "a disturbance in the force". So the question is irrelevant because I wouldn't start him right now. His strengths compared to Westwood and Delph are: his better vision for the pass, better crossing and corners. I support the latter two claims with statistics. I accept that other people don't like these statistics, but that is where my opinion comes from in this case. His weaknesses are: lack of experience with respect to Westwood, and less effective defensive qualities (fewer tackles and interceptions), compared to both, especially Delph.
