But I agree with the rest of what you’re saying about him not being well rounded. McLean, Da Silva, Cleverley, Cook, Hourihane or Bannan. Tough choice. Hourihane any day of the week over Bannan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me you can add the lad from Barnsley too he's always looked excellent when I've seen him and takes a cracking set piece at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilianenko Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 7 minutes ago, shezzas left peg said: He's the main man here, everything has to go through him. He gets to take all the set pieces and probably more importantly we are the ONLY side in his career who have let him play cm, None of his previous clubs played him there, they all played him out wide becouse of his limitations and deficiency in both defence and in front of goal. I know right now in the mess we've quickly declined into under Dc some people are desperate for a hero, but some need to be more realistic. Theres very few teams in the championship that would take bannan as a cm, almost all the top 8 sides have far more all rounded cm. Yes he's got good vision, technique and can pass the ball, but as a complete midfielder at this level he's lacking. Couldn't have put it better myself. Trying for give and goes tonight in advanced positions Bannan was awful, constantly giving the ball away. But it was all the other players fault as usual. Glad someone finally had the balls to take him off. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowatt at Barnsley a journeyman but he can power forward score from distance and round the keeper and score as well as defend. Maybe the washed up Lewis Holtby who managed to man Mark Bannan out of the game but sneak off him and score two for Blackburn against us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan is their problem. The other players' problem. They daren't take responsibility, so they just chuck it to Bannan. And when Bannan is not there, they don't know what to do because they have had no practice. Maybe Moore has seen that the other players need practice at being responsible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a fair few you can go at to be fair. I’d say 12-15 clubs have a fair shout to say their best CM is a level above Bannan at least. I was watching Derby last week and Shinnie reminded me a lot of Bannan. If he’d had come through the English system like Bannan did I dare say he’d probably be getting the same hype. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team in this division has a better midfielder than BB, spurns the chance to put a firm ball across the ground and instead spins and lofts a pitching wedge ball that forwards have to fight the centre backs over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Other clubs have scouted better midfield players while we have stuck with Bannan hoping he would live up to the plaudits hype of him. Sadly it hasn't materialised and we are where we are. A good midfielder dominates games and drives the team forward. Bannan doesn't do that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not really a dig at him nor Barnsley, I am just fed up of how many fans blame anyone except BB. The number of times I have heard people say none of Sheffield United midfielder's would get in our side or Hourihane is not as good as Bannan just annoys me. Even heard " I wouldn't swap Bannan for James Maddison" when he played against us for Norwich, he was only on the pitch for minutes before having to be withdrawn injured. As time goes by all the other midfielders I mention above end up playing in the premier league, I could add Cairney, Shelvey and Mooy to the list amongst others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can the start of our downfall have been our managers not seeing this, and not letting the otehr players know that "chucking it to Bannan" is not the only solution? I seem to remember that we got Bannan not too long before our last play-off final. WE'VE GOT BANNAN BARRY BANNAN JUST DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND 'CAUSE HE'S A SCOTTISH MAN BETTER THAN ZIDANE WE'VE GOT BARRY BANNAN Our managers should have told the other players : Tha better be learning tha sen tha own trade even tho' we have Zidane.

Basement Jack Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Barry Bannan has been a fantastic free transfer signing Bannan, I believe, always gives his all. Yes he is paid well to do so however I have no doubt he has a genuine connection with the club Bannan is arguably our best player and technically in my opinion is the best The problem is, for whatever reason he just cannot seem to impose himself on a game when we are struggling or more importantly when it’s drifting along He just can’t get hold of the game by the scruff of the neck whether that’s due to physicality or mentality I’m not entirely sure but it is the difference between a decent player and a very good player Bannan is decent ( and very good to ones who have only seen us for a few years) but for the older ones he is no Gary Shelton Both similar stauture Bannan is far more skilful but he simply cannot impose himself on a game like Shelton or score a overhead kick like Shelts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 We cant afford Bannan in league one,his 27K a week will mean we lose 4 squad players, simple economics. Chairman will have to find a new mole. Cya Baz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood maybe? Iorfa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
