Yes mate as he has scored more goals from midfield in his 60 odd games for Villa than Bannan has managed in double that, add to that he has only got 4 yellow he has not missed 3 games through suspension. For me I would take the money for Bannan if we could get £8m then replace him with a younger better championship midfielder in Nick Powell who has just 6 month left on his deal at Wigan, at 24 he will get better i.e. improve his resale value. 2018/19 - Powell 18 games, 4 goals 5 assists 2018/19 - Bannan 23 games, 2 goals, 3 assists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Rhodes has been troubling me recently..I cant help feeling a large amount of animosity towards the man... I feel he was in peoples ears to sign his kid and then its been well reported there was friction in the squad because of him trying to get carlos to play favourites.. I know it was said some of the players found out about this and "bullied them" ..but I would be bloody furious if I was a player who saw nepotism creeping in to the team selections, bullying may have been fair! .. I know there are alot of people to blame for JR signing..fans included.. and blame may be a strong word because we are looking back in hindsight.. but I just get a feeling AR was overstepping the line on more than a few occasions.. hes recently been sacked by Oldham as well.. not sure why but it just adds to be suspicions.. I may be totally wrong but I haven't seen anyone voice this and I genuinely feel the man got away lucky Its a good job none of Jordan Rhodes family is left at Hillsborough then ……………………. Oh wait a minute what about Uncle Steve Agnew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach possibly, but then maybe not if they're chasing Sawyers. Agree with Nick Powell suggestion. Players entering last 6 months of contract - like Winnall when we purchased - are clever buys. Powell for one, Josh Vela at Bolton is another I'd consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Bannan ain't going no where. Bruce has been a big admirer of his for ages. Selling him to Villa is highly unlikely to be on his priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true we channel ball through him but this makes us slow in build up and very easy to defend against. He also loses ball a great deal. QPR match is a beauty about 120 touches from memory, they allowed him to have ball as they knew it generally amounts to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true. But if Bruce could have signed Bannan he would have done. So be interesting to see how he uses him. Because he clearly likes something about him. He needs the right people around him and Hutchinson and Reach ain't it. Not in a three man midfield anyway. Was better when Pelupessy was next to him. But it's impossible to drop Hutchinson as we need that cover in there so I would almost be tempted to put him on the left again like Carlos did. All his best work for us always comes down the left normally anyway and that's gives us the opportunity then to bring in a better partner for hutch if Pelupessy ain't up to it. Also allows Reach to go wide right and cut in and have a proper two upfront. Reach Hutch Pelupessy/new Bannan Fletcher Forestieri/Joao We Probably played our best football under Carlos when we did that.
