LondonLax Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I don't know why one must be sold. I can't imagine their wages would be significant so why can't we give them another season to develop and compete for a place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, at the same time we keep our squad bolstered in case of injuries and so on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 How is Luna's English? Perhaps some of his positional problems are down to poor communication. Could just be it took him a while to settle. I wouldn't write him off just yet, he's got a good chance to be a decent squad member, maybe even in a midfield role.

abdulaziz1 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I like Luna. His positioning let's him down, but other than that, he's been a better player than Bennett. One good game against Chelsea, and now Bennett is the 'flavour of the month backup leftback' (quite a title). I think it's a shame that one of Luna and Bennett will probably have to be sold. Bennett last two games with us were very good .. "Chelsea and Chelsea" , I'm not sure if he played against Wigan or didn't though .. Against Cardiff he was RM so I won't count it .. Luna had his chance this season , I haven't seen anything special ! He try to dribble and usually fail , Don't know how to cross .. And his defending is average at best .. Bennett didn't have a proper chance last season ! When he came against Spurs he got injured then struggled to get back to the team sheet .. when he came the whole team were struggling , His confidence level wasn't that good I'd say .. But he's good with the ball , And he's not far from Luna defensively , if he wasn't the same .. Luna had a good game against Man City .. That's what I remember where he had a very good game ..

Nigel Posted March 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2014 I don't know why one must be sold. I can't imagine their wages would be significant so why can't we give them another season to develop and compete for a place? I think its obvious that we have a very strict budget on our wage bill. Thus his wage could be used to bolster an area we need work on (ie the midfield). If we can keep Bertrand then he should go TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Why did I think this guy was 28?? He is only 23 not on massive wages might aswell keep him as we always seem to get lots of injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I don't know why one must be sold. I can't imagine their wages would be significant so why can't we give them another season to develop and compete for a place? Our squad would be lopsided though. Three left backs when two of our centre halfs can and have played there this season is too much especially when they'd all be on a similar wage. Compare that to RB where our options are a midfield playing there and Lowton who's been out of favour for months now. I'm struggling to think of many other players in the squad who could actually play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2014 Not sure if it means anything but Luna just tweeted: Vamooooooooooooooooooooioooooooooooosssss coñooooooooo,dicen que nunca se rinde!!!!! Que grandeeeeeeee !!!!! #VamosmiSevilla https://mobile.twitter.com/AntoniiioLuna Which in my pigeon Spanish means something about 'never playing' 'how great' and the hashtag means I'm going to Seville. Hmm... does it mean we're more likely to sign Bertrand, or perhaps I've completely got the translation wrong!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Surely he wil be off come summer. Hasn't featured in god knows how long. And if you have a crap player like Bennett ahead of you that's curtains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 it would be better to have luna as back up LB to bertrand (hopefully) than bennett, yes no doubt someone will pop up and say bennett has been improving, but hes still a weak little boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Surprised he's not left yet. I like him, he can't have been happy not making the squad towards the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He's a difficult one. He started well last season, and looked a good addition most of the time for the first few months. Then he entered a horrible period before and around Christmas, culminating in that game where Valencia professionally embarrassed him. He didn't really recover from that. I wouldn't mind him playing a few games again, as long as an emphasis in training has been on his positioning. He did have better stats than Bertrand in every area, and I don't think Bertrand was actually any real improvement. This lad has some potential, but boy does his positioning need to be better. It's academic though, in all likelihood - the loan of Bertrand strongly suggests Lambert doesn't trust either Luna or Bennett, and I would expect us to sell one of them, and spend some of our tiny pot, on a new LB this summer.
