Dodgyknees Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He didn't play very well against QPR or Reading. This is a myth. I hate to do this but according to whoscored.com against Reading Bannan scored 6.9 - the 3rd worst player for us. One of the 2 he beat scored an own goal. Against Reading he was the 2nd worst player for us. It's a myth because of what whoscored.com? Who is being laughably statistic-centric now? The whoscored.com rating system is the most subjective statistic they have. One yellow card, issued at the whim of a referee, can drastically change the rating. Against Reading your info is wrong. Bannan (6.9) rated higher than three: Westwood (6.8), Lowtan (6.8), and Baker (6.4). Don't forget, stats are EVERYTHING, your power taught us this sensei.

Bannan (6.9) rated higher than three: Westwood (6.8), Lowtan (6.8), and Baker (6.4). I don't think you are in a position to be talking about subjectivity. Do you actually understand what it means? An "accurate" cross is subjective. A "key pass" is subjective. These are the stats you have gone on and on and on and on about over the last 6 months. A yellow card is not subjective. A goal is not subjective. You can't dismiss the overall stat by you claiming it to be subjective when all you use to argue are subjective stats. Once again you have been caught out to be contradicting yourself with your biased and unbalanced point of view. As a side point, Bannan has less yellow cards than all other regular outfield players other than 3, yet still attains a worse rating than the rest. So his footballing rating must have been an awful lot worse than the other players if they can afford to get booked more often (at a whim by the referee!) and yet still score higher than Bannan.

supernova26 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I agree Bannan suits Swansea better than us. Swansea 8th in the League plus cup Us 16th and fighting relegation all season. I don't think our fanbase are cultured enough to appreciate good technical players and this harms us. The more educated football fan will watch the likes of La Liga and football from around the world (me, Con etc) whereas your average Villa fan will watch us and then some Sunday afternoon hooftball at their local parks.

And yet fans have been raving about Westwood, a good technical player. The only difference between Westwood and Bannan is that Westwood is good and Bannan isn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How incredibly arrogant and pompous, you're like a cartoon character and I can't take you seriously. All of that is irrelevant and you're missing the point. Bannan does not fit our style of football and getting rid of him will be better for both him and us. That's all there is to it. Now get down from your pedestal and jog on.

Czechlad Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Bannan likely has no future at aston villa. Lambert dislikes his attitude, so unless Bannan decides to completely readjust how he goes about training, he will be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 So let me get this straight. Bannan is technically better than other players we have and has an impact on the team winning and we're selling him because? What a load of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 You know what? I don't mind Bannan, as a player. For squad filler on low wages, he is an average option to have on the bench. But I dislike this thread way more than I dislike him. Con, your constant over exaggerating of Bannan's abilities (and the following discussions) have made me want to see the back of Bannan, just to get rid of this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2013 Con seeing as you like stats so much how about one for how many games we lost with Bannan in the side compared to without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Westwood, Delph and Sylla will take some dislodging because they were building a system in the last 10 games or so that was working. I have a feeling Lambert may use Weimann, N'Zogbia, Tonev or Bacuna in a more central role in certain games next season depending on the opposition also. Added to that we have Gardner and El-Ahmadi and Holman and Johnson and Herd who will all want to put pressure on a midfield spot. I don't see any real future for Bannan really unless Lambert does really rate him and will look to play him ahead of a lot of those options. I've no doubt he has decent passing stats etc, but I'm not sure he offers enough to warrant a place above many of the above players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 These stats brought up are useless. Just cos we won more with Bannan in the team means nothing, the other players may have raised their game playing with shit. I bet Arbeloa has a good win rate at Madrid, doubt they'd miss him much if he got injured though. Didnt it take bale like 15 games for him to be in a winning spurs side...., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Has there been any more interest for him? I know Swansea's board's interest disgusted Laudrup so much that he nearly quit but surely someone else is interested. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an educated football fan, I watch la liga, I see that swansea are a good passing side that have done well. I can see that bannans better attributes are his passing. It's not our style of play he doesn't suit, it's the league that we play in...it's above his standard. He's a championship player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
