All of that but also that we needed quality in with a natural left foot....we were very one sided as I remember. Our winger with a quality left foot was playing on the right "Wallace" We played inverted wingers. Hence the right footed Nando on the left. Plus bazza was better on the left, as he dosent score goals, or get in the box enough. We needed a good solid cm to play alongside Lee and compete with hutch. Bazza should have been kept as a left sided playmaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be really struggling with a really simple question? If Bannan is that bad at corners why does every manager make him the corner taker?

Weshallovercome Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Reach, I was disappointed when we signed him, we needed someone with speed and strength, we got meh........for 5m we could have signed better, a lot better, not his fault, but I for one wont miss him. Barry Bannan, the enigma......neither a defensive midfielder or an attacking one, has great skill on the ball and can pick a pass, but isn't offence enough for the role he plays, can't shoot, but decent at pens, again not really what we needed at the time, we should have signed Conor Hourihane. BUT.....he's been a bit of a hero this season imho, running himself ragged giving it a go, can't fault him for that, so leaves with my blessing and hopes he finds a team that needs his skill set. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday fans can’t spot a good player for toffee. Similar to our recruitment team. I like bazza as a left sided midfielder, it limits his negatives and gives him space to exploit his positives, such as his passing range. I don't rate him as a cm, probably for me one of the reasons we were better and got better results more consistently with bazza out left and hutch & Lee as the central platform.

Never said we were successful, but hardly makes us crap for the last 25 years. The initial question posed was that Bannan was considered to be a great player. My opinion is that he is a current day great, especially in the 2 years that you've quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday fans can’t spot a good player for toffee. Similar to our recruitment team. Don't really understand why you'd even think that first bit, but anyway there is also expectations to consider, we had no money to spend in the Brunt and Whelan era and only 350k max in the Antonio one, so for the position we were in all three were excellent signings, I think almost everyone would agree. But with money to spend, if we'd had a functioning chairman and a scouting team we surely wouldn't have paid 5m for Reach, even 1m was stretching it........Barry was an undisclosed fee and a one year deal, so I'm letting him off as I doubt it was a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
