    Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED

    TBF a lot of the negative comments relate to him playing in midfield. There are enough positive comments about him playing RB to make me feel optimistic. Good to see some Youtube footage of him getting forward and playing forward passes instead of what we currently do at RB which is freeze and play it backwards.

    Not to put a downer on the signing but he was dreadful when I saw him play for Reading earlier this season.

    What are your thoughts Pearcey?

    sky says no more business to be done at city ?
    heard that before, but lack of ambition again for me... (sala situation aside)

    very little time to do deals but thats the business, plenty of clubs doing deals... goal scorer was a no brainer, a must

    lets hope theres a late surprise

    I hope Sky are wrong and your hope is correct . If we walk away from the window with Niasse & Bacuna in place of Pilkington, Tomlin & Madine it will have been a complete failing.

    And I know ... before anyone makes any cynical comments.

If they cant get basic facts like that right, I wouldnt believe a word they print. Also bearing in mind Villa fans honestly believe that they should be in the Prem instead of us, I think they will say anything to try to wind us up.

    None of the opinion is written by the person who wrote the article though - it's essentially fluffer so they can put the tweets in there.

    Have you read what Pearcey (the Reading fan) has had to say about Bacuna on here? I'm guessing you'd write off his opinion too, for some brilliant reason.

    How much do you want to bet we'll have to release him to get him off the books in 2021. 4 and a half year deal is staggering, a director of football is needed over the summer.

    It's certainly the most surprising aspect of the transfer. Considering Bacuna's history and the fact that he'll be 28 later this year, I wonder what promoted such a lengthy deal?

    I cannot believe this is true. If it is then I agree it’s absolutely staggering. Can’t think of a more accurate word to describe it.

    Interesting article on his time at Villa here:

    https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spo...villa-13466920

    He does sound like a Warnock type - an energetic, uncomplaining utility player according to this piece.

    Bacuna's disciplinary record is interesting:

    2015/16 - 9 yellow cards
    2016/17 - 8 yellow cards, 1 red card
    2017/18 - 13 yellow cards, 1 red card
    2018/19 - 4 yellow cards, 1 red card

    Looks like he'll give Harry Arter a run for his money.

    A company called Unique Sports Management that also represents the likes of Harry Kane, Wilfried Zaha and David Brooks, apparently.

    A few years ago Neil Warnock's son James used to work as a consultant to Unique Sports Management. Maybe he's still with them?

    There’s got to be more than this than meets the eye. 4.5 year deal for a player struggling in the championship ?!?! Sorry but it don’t add up. I’m flabbergasted.

    I sense Reading are pissing themselves at this transfer.

    It’s a very good deal for us.
