Spoony Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm just really worried that the pull of Real Madrid or Barca will be too much for him. Hell, I'd bet he'd even plump for Juve or Bayern if it came to it but, for his sake, I hope he doesn't as I don't think that'd be enough of a challenge for him at this stage of his career. Whichever European heavy-hitter he moves to, I'd like to place on record my thanks to Bacuna for single-handedly pulling us up by the cruff of the neck in our times of need and putting Aston Villa on the map.

Spoony Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 In all seriousness, I'm a tad disappointed with all this. I thought he was a handy utility player and I previously had some respect for his willingness to play wherever needed and I backed the new long-term contract he signed late last year. It's a shame he is clearly as deluded and care-free as the rest of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see him stay with Villa, obtain UK citizenship, lead Villa to promotion with a perfect record, celebrate his first England Cap by scoring a hat-trick at Wembley, become England Captain, end all those years of hurt by lifting the World Cup in what will become known as "The Bacuna Final", become PM and persuade USA to rejoin the UK and apologise for all that unnecessary revolution shenanigans that happened. But I think he might have bigger aspirations. Edited July 9, 2016 by Mandy Lifeboats spelling mishsteaks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I feel sorry for Bacuna its a shame that the judge in Messi's tax evasion case only gave him a 21 month jail term as probation and he doesn't have to serve it because i think Bacuna could have gone to the nou camp and slotted in as a ready made replacement Edited July 9, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hope he is gone before the window shuts - will be depressing if we go into this season with him starting - he was just awful last year and I don't think the crowd will forgive him. One or two poor efforts from him and the crowd will be on his back again. RDM will be taking a massive risk keeping him on IMO - better for him and us if he he moves on.

meme Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 BREAKING: Bacuna becomes Prime Minister, then declared Supreme Leader of the World seconds later. He announces that Messi and Ronaldo are terrible players compared to him, and they are now languishing in League 2 as per the new system he set up. Oh, yeah, and he is Xia in disguise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an interview he said he'd like to return to Holland one day, preferably for one of the sides in the champions league eg Ajax or PSV. I think thats a perfectly acceptable comment and didn't deserve the boos he got for it. It has been totally taken out of context.

I don't think its much to ask a player paid thousands a week to play for Villa to concentrate - at LEAST publically - on Villa. Especially when we were in the shite. Whilst I didn't boo him I cant blame anyone who decided that his lack of focus, shall we say, together with some 'ordinary' performances, were worthy of anything else.

I both agree and disagree. He didn't say Barcelona you are right, but I also think you know nobody actually thinks he did they are mocking him but again you know that. You are wrong though when you say he said "one day" had he done so he probably wouldn't have got as much stick. What he actually said was "Within two years now I try to make my next move." So not one day but within two years, this less than 12 months after signing a new 5 year deal. Not to mention Collymore had already raised question marks about his attitude and commitment. Is it really surprising people didn't like it? Especially given the timing when we were supposed to be fighting to stay up, are you really surprised when a player so openly admits they are already looking at the possibility of moving on. Football fans aren't idiots, they know most players are mercanary, they know they are thinking about their next move at times they shouldn't be. But to come out and say it, at that particular time was always going to draw fierce criticism. Add to that the fact he is an average player who had a below average season the CL element to what he said was always going to be mocked. I'm afraid Bacuna threw himself under the bus with a poorly judged and timed comments and he has burnt his bridges with many as a result. He isn't a scapegoat, not even remotely close. He like a number of others is getting stick for his conduct, attitude and ultimately his performances but he absolutely isn't a victim or a scapegoat. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
