If Bannan signed for us last summer this place would have people pissing and moaning that we'd signed a 33 year old.

He’s another one the supporters will eventually get there way with but like tymon and brown anf fox etc etc if anyone thinks he is the core of the issue then it’s deluded look at Mmaee , vidigal , Wesley , Johnson , pearson etc etc for that

Didn't watch yesterday so can't comment on that, but in most games I've watched him in this season he's been a very good player for us. He's an absolute unit and gets around the pitch really well and has been part of the reason for our turn around. Pleased he's at the club and if I was him, who is a much better player than our league position, receiving constant abuse I'd leave in the summer. If he's looking for an area to improve, it would be his finesse with his touch or his passing. He IS an absolute unit…..but he doesn’t use it! Constantly beaten in one on ones and 50/50’s Barry Bannan outmuscled and outplayed our entire midfield yesterday. Think about that for one minute. Glenn Whelan has him sussed out that’s for sure. |

Bannan has always impressed me, he can play a bit for sure, but he's as hard as nails as well, give me him over Pearson any day, well over most if not all our midfield.

Laurent is an idle fucker,the last player you would pick to be captain.
What does he bring to the side?
Can't pass,tackle,defend or score,a nothing player who would be better off back at Reading in Div 1.

Bannan made him look powder puff and slow motion. Just like most weeks.... A traffic cone would be an upgrade |

Captain or not, Laurent is just average, I think we’d be better without him

If we are going to offload Laurent or not depends on the players we are able to bring in I guess. As said earlier I will be more than happy starting with a midfield consisting of Pearson, Burger and Bae next season. If we extend the contract with Thompson and also play young Sidibe more we might be able to offload both Laurent and Baker, but still we would need to sign a couple more I guess. Anyway our midfield is my smallest worry as we need to sign a first team goalie (Iversen or Travers), two new central defenders (Souttar on loan + one more), a new first choice left back, another winger with bags of pace and a striker (Assante).  We need to be a stable top 10 team before we can talk about promotion I guess? |

Would be a good move for all involved especially if we can get someone in like the lad from Fleetwood that was linked previously. |

Since he’s been here has there been a transfer window when he hasn’t been linked with other clubs? He’s obviously wanted out for a while so let him go. He’s into the last 12 months of his contract so if we can get £750k-£1m for him it would be very good business. |

He clearly adds value to the team but I wouldn’t be bothered by him leaving. Never warmed to him

500k-1m seems about right for him.
Don’t want to build my hopes up but this is potentially exciting.

If Laurent goes and we replace him a proper destroyer which means Burger moves to 8 then I'm all for it.

I like Laurent he has the skill and attributes.
But yeah it's fair to say he hasn't put them to much use during his time here.
I wouldn't sell him for free but for 1-2 million then we can re invest for better

One player I will be glad to see the back of. Plays when he wants, uses his physique when he wants and no way a captain, although he didn't pick himself did he Alex?
Bang average footballer as it turned out and a questionable character on the pitch when the going got tough.
