    Bannan

    Anybody (of a certain age) think that Bannan is a Tommy Craig in midfield? Both tenacious Scottish midfielders.
    Craig would be in my all time favourite Wednesday team.

    Take your word for it mate - showing your age with that one!

    Top player though, added much more to our team than I expected.

    Never saw Tommy, but defo agree on some fine Scottish quality in Barry (and Ross Wallace)
    Such a pleasure to watch a footballer so tactically aware as Barry Bannon...he seems to have time aplenty, superb close control skill...we just seem to click when he's on the pitch.

    There are similarities, Bannan though, in my view, is a much better player...Tommy was great for us in a poor side, maybe that held him back a bit but Bannan has a real football brain on him, very intelligent footballer....he reminds me more of Archie Gemmill than Tommy Craig.

    Another thing, Wednesday have to sign him up on a long contract, 4 years minimum, sort of player that good teams are built around.

    absolute top bit of business bringing bannan in, like said before got to be tied down to a longer deal.
    defends from the front , never stops and seems to set the tempo of the whole side.
    he was really missed when injured.
    i think he will only get better and defo the makings of a WEDNESDAY legend

    Close to signing a 4-year deal as well. Great to have players of the quality of Bannan, Westwood, Lees and Forestieri signing long-term contracts.

    Looks like he's ready to sign now, three & half year deal, best bit of business Wednesday will have done in a very long time...love how he plays the game, genuine footballer.
