Leandro Jones Johan Bacuna
He's posed in the kit, kissed the badge and done the ayatollah!

Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED
He's got something wrong with his hair. A four and a half year contract - that's surprising.

Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED
He has red in his hair :yikes:

“A few weeks ago, I was made aware of some interest and it has all gone from there. I’m very happy and looking forward to getting started.
“Every game I play I give 100%, and I’ll be fighting hard to help our team. I’ve played against the manager and you can see he always wants to win. He is so passionate. It’s going to be great to work underneath him and hopefully he will push me on as a player.”

Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED
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?
-
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.

Yep happy to oblige. First off he is a central midfielder and not really a fullback but can play there if necessary. He has plenty of energy but is a complete enigma. I have seen him dozens of times and can’t say if he is a good player or not. He is erratic. He can sweep a superb pass out to the flanks in one minute and then place a short pass straight to an opponent a minute later. He loses his cool at times.
I am very surprised you have signed him. This looks more like adapting to the Championship next season because I can’t see him making a difference to your survival chances.

Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED
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

You may have a Reading season ticket and watch him play regularly... but let me ask you this...
Have you seen that video of his free kick from 2013 though?

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 :frown: ... before anyone makes any cynical comments.

Nope. Not seen it. He did score a belter for us from a short corner earlier this season which may have been against the Villa. Some of the comments on Hobnob Anyone are harsh. As a a fan base we have been pissed of with 18 months of crap. So it’s not surprising most are not bothered if pretty much anyone in the squad is sold.

Re: Bacuna is a Bluebird - CONFIRMED
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.

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.

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?
