That is all.
No good on long throws. Next.
In seriousness I like him and he's always been one that stood out when playing against us.
Bannan is now 30 and from what I have seen of Wednesday this season and last, is on the downward slope.
Obviously very technically skilled - but no pace and doesn't score many (10 in 192 games for Sheff Wednesday).
Gerard Houllier compared him to Xavi and Iniesta when he was at Villa. Darren Fletcher also threw in Scholes as a comparison. But those comments were years ago.
If it was a 25 year old Barry Bannan, then yes (also a 25 year old Fernando Forestieri - who is also 30), but not the current version.
At 31 in December, I'd say it was time three or four years ago when he was arguably the best midfielder of his type in the Championship.
That said, Sheffield Wednesday were comfortably better than us for seventy odd minutes in October I think it was, then Monk took Bannan off for some reason and allowed us back into the match.
Younger than Tomlin then.
Right age group for us. Young player of the year?
What about Alex Pritchard?
Player I'd love to see on loan Ovie Ejaria, ripped us to pieces at Reading at the start of the season. Pretty please Jurgen.
