Literally nobody disputes, but using the term premier league quality about barry bannan is ridiculous. Well it is to any sane person, but some of the fan boys on think he's actually good enough to play in the premier league what are you correcting? For the third and last time, in plain English. I’ve agreed with another poster that he can do certain things of premier league quality NOT that he should be playing in the premier league. In your own words ‘he’s an amazing player at league one level’. We are playing in league one so what the f*ck are you moaning about! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't slow the play down on purpose, he controls the ball and looks at what is on. In fairness, he's already doing that before he has the ball, because he can read the game and make space for himself. If the players around him are lacking confidence / average / played out of position, his options drop and he looks out of form. He gets frustrated and has the odd rant. If he has Forestieri, Hooper, Reach, Fletcher etc moving and showing for the ball, he looks class. Particularly if he is allowed / decides to play further forward. He now has Windass, Corbeanau, Luongo and Shodipo as his options. On form, playing well and full of confidence. Keep this momentum going, and Bannan will be on fire, with the others benefitting. And it will be good to watch. The key to Bannan isn't direct assists, it's how he opens up play with a key pass before the assist, or a pass that opens play. I love Bannan, love watching him play. There's very few others I could say the same about over the last 10 / 15 years or so. So what you are saying is when Bannan is surrounded by better players he looks better, and when he plays with lesser players it is their fault that he looks worse. makes perfect sense.

Bonkers logic If a player is on £5k a week and puts in a great performance, is that exact same performance better or worse if he is on £25k a week? They performance is exactly the same! If you are trying to say the £25k a week player should put in the great performance more consistently, then I agree with you. Bannan puts in a MOM performance more than any other player as stated by nearly every opposition manager we play against (the ones who are in football for a living and better informed than random people like me on a fans forum).

Thats not just my opinion, have a look at what opposition managers say, what pundits say, but billy bllx from batemoor knows better...Really? I’ve always found that rather amusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have to be the final pass! I don’t know if such a stat exists but from my recollection, it’s not very often that Bannan is not very closely involved in a goal scoring move. Shodipo’s goal on Saturday was a classic example of that, despite the assist (quite rightly) going to Gregory. Now we’re talking. Let’s invent new stats until Baz comes out on top like assisting the assister of the assist. Loving your work. That’ll keep those pesky haters quiet.

I think your being unkind on Bannan. I doubt anyone else in the country could fake to cross against a league one centre mid. Bannan is a once in a generation talent. We are so lucky to have him.

I work with a hater and he literally spent the entire week crying about a Bannan corner. Literally sobbing in a heap at his workstation. Sat in a puddle of his own tears. Got bugger all work done due to his none-stop week long crying fit. What a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely that usually club bids X amount for other clubs player and club accepts/declines. That's usually in the public domain in the World of SKY and social media. How on Earth can anyone claim it to be a "myth" we didn't have any bids without such information? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
