switters Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Pleased for him, shown himself to be well worth a place in squad and makes sense to sign up a good length contract considering age. One of Lambert's better signings for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Pleased about this. He'll make a good squad player and he can bag few goals as well. Tip top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) This is an adequate piece of news. Good player to have in the squad, and it'd be a shame if he left next year on a free so good to get him signed up.

sir_gary_cahill Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Meh. I don't understand this response, I'm very happy that one of our key players has signed a new long term contract with us, very good signing by Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I like Bacuna, keeps improving as well. Good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I like him aswell, not as bad at RB as made out. Even going forward and improving, we'd still need his type as a squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't see us buying another right back. I think Tim is happy with Bacuna and Hutton. I expect Bacuna to be first choice this season, and next year Hutton will leave and we will bring someone better in and make Bacuna back up. Unless of course Bacuna continues to develop in which case he may keep his place. I just think that Tim really likes Bacuna, and he probably thinks they can coach him to be a better defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 He's still developing as a player, but is handy at both RB and in the midfield, and just seems to get involved in goals. Very happy we've signed him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Still think he's one of the weak links in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I rate Bacuna and I think he gets some unfair stick. He's not a world beater but he does a good job and he's a hard worker. We do need a new RB but I don't think that's particularly a priority right now and as GeordieVillan says I suspect we will replace Hutton with Bacuna as a back up in the future. He plays with plenty of energy, he is a good utility player, he'll be on comparatively low wages, he's still young and so it makes perfect sense to sign him up long term.

thunderball Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Still think he's one of the weak links in our team. But only in relative terms and no more so than Clarke/Okore/Baker/Guzan/Agbonlahor/Kozak/Hutton. Better than Lowton (I know he has gone but that's the point). There's no way we are going to spend another £10m on a Amavi style RB at this point. I like him, can be good or average but rarely catastrophic.

Popular Post SilentMajority Posted August 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2015 Clearing out the deadwood and tying our younger assets down with long contracts..... hang on a minute, is someone trying to run the club properly....... Peoples concerns about him being a weak link shows what potential the rest of the squad is starting to show (imo). With people like Amavi in the squad, bacuna may continue to develop into a class act! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
