AstonMartin82 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 lol - this is just way too funny. Fan power stops Bannan leaving in January yet they will have totally forgotten who he is by May? Con make your mind up!!!! I've never read so much rubbish in all my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Palace probably wanted Swansea to cover all of his wages and that cost more than either of the two players they did loan, so they opted against it.

AstonMartin82 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Far too sensible and doesn't support Bannan being World Class so definitely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Or maybe, just maybe - since Bannan is surely on low wages by Premier League standards - Crystal Palace were reluctant to give away too cheaply to a team just a single point higher than them in the league? Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins said "Today we looked at Barry Bannan but I don't think any deal was possible." Was possible. It sounds like he is saying they realised it probably wasn't going to happen before they made the enquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) They realised it was impossible before they tried? They still tried anyway? They really are idiots then, eh? I don't think Bannan is on particularly low wages either. He was on £20k/wk + here for some reason. Palace not wanting to loan to a relegation rival is very plausible, but surely that contradicts your assertion that it was fan power stopping the loan.

jadenb42 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've said before I'm related to Mr Bannan. My grandad praises him to the same levels con does. I don't have the heart to tell my grandad what I really think of wee Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 This thread is crazy. I've never seen a Villa player defended so much by one person. Never mind an ex player. There can be only one reasonable explaination. Con is Barry Bannan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) I'm only posting replies when I'm virtually begged to. I've already said I'll drop this until he next plays. Edit: Let's agree to disagree and not say anything more at least until he plays again (which might not be at all this season)?

Dodgyknees Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Palace, a team who have been in the championship for god knows how many years, yeah.. they will know true quality. Let's face it, they have had world class talent like Shaun Derry in their line up over the past few years, so they will certainly understand the talent of Bannan.

AstonMartin82 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Bannan benched once again and with only 1 of their deadline day signings in the squad today (Hennessey the new goalie) it is likely to be the last time Bannan even makes the bench. His season at Palace is almost identical to his last season at Villa. World Class at anything? Very obviously not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 His crossing percentage is still up with the very best again this season. 35% I believe and 50% when he came on today. He has his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con I was just wondering Do you think it is weird that you're the only person, both from spectator and professional perspectives, that believes in the stuff you say about him? Funny thing is, I'm not the only one, I'm one of many. It is incredible how you ignore the popularity Bannan has gained at Palace this season to continue the narrative I'm out on my own, ploughing a lone furrow suggesting Bannan is a good player. Here, read this. Just typed Bannan into twitter and these are the first replies. (Bet you ignore this though) Mitch @Mitch_Weaver_982 mins When bannan came on we looked much better, next week id start him along with ince and ledley for KG and Puncheon. from Islington, London Reply Retweet Favourite More Chris Allen @chrisofeagles4 mins @kevintasteph You're right and I'm pleased Bannan stayed on here, him & Gayle give us that option coming off the bench. View conversation Reply Retweet Favourite More Andrew Bannan @andrew_bannan33 mins This was basically my childhood. pic.twitter.com/hVDNzwNiPY View photo Reply Retweet Favourite More PalaceStats @PalaceStats57 mins Bannan's shot goes just goes over the bar.

samjp26 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't really pay attention to him, let alone 'ignore' peoples views on him - I do however see that he has fallen out of favour at Palace just as he did here, hence why I asked. Sorry for touching a nerve pal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 you're wrong anyway. he was starting games until April last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) you're wrong anyway. he was starting games until April last year. We sold him, I'm pretty sure that is the epitome of 'falling out of favour'.. I tip my hat though, you whip these things up very quickly - either that or you have them stockpiled.
