Rascal Posted April 26, 2022 Report Posted April 26, 2022 Does anyone have any videos of this player in action? Quote
JJ McG Posted April 26, 2022 Report Posted April 26, 2022 Quite sure these players that we have signed on pre contracts will have get out clauses if we get relegated. Quote

Rascal Posted April 26, 2022 Report Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) A screamer from Baccus. Some of this would go down well. I like what I see. https://m.facebook.com/aleagues/videos/451078625511549/ Edited April 26, 2022 by Rascal Quote
thewswpost Posted April 28, 2022 Report Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) WSW supporter here, thought i'd pop in and give a little run down on Keanu Baccus. Baccus is a very respected player within the Wanderers fanbase, earning himself the nickname "Parklea Messi", having amassed over 110 appearances across 6 seasons (usually a 26/27 game season). He has scored 6 goals and provided 10 assists across his senior career, mostly playing as a central defensive midfielder. Earlier in his career, he would play at right back, and at times over the last 2 seasons, he would be deployed as an attacking midfielder. This season he has performed well alongside midfield partner and former England international Jack Rodwell. Pros: - Very hard working, doesn't stop running for 90 minutes. - Young leader. - Physical player despite his skinnier build, breaks up play well. - Probably his best attribute, always looks to advance the ball forward. - Decent long balls, for example (go to 2:29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phOeSq3EIa8). - Decent long shots, think 4 of his 6 goals are from outside the box, for example, here are 2 against Melbourne Victory and Newcastle Jets (1:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaoaA8FOOE0&t=22s) (1:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PivHLZIa9p4&t=95s). - Quite creative. Has a very nice through ball, see his assists against Leeds United and Adelaide for example (3:58 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZM5j8maRw) (0:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IANz5wMP_AQ&t=25s). Cons: - Sometimes loses the ball in dangerous areas of the pitch. Hasn't happened as much if at all from memory this season, used to happen a fair bit. - Will occasionally give away some really cheap, silly fouls in bad areas of the pitch. - Not the best with his back to goal, this contributes to him losing the ball in bad areas and exposes the team to counter attacks. - Not the best aerially, however did score a header in a recent "Sydney Derby" (3:11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3akmhG2iqY). Summary: Overall, he is a really solid young player with a lot of potential, still a fair bit to improve on. Hoping he is able to show his class to the Black and White Army, and that he continues to develop into a top player. Will be keeping a close eye on how he and St Mirren perform this upcoming season, might even have to get myself a Baccus St Mirren jersey. Edited April 28, 2022 by thewswpost Quote

Rascal Posted April 28, 2022 Report Posted April 28, 2022 Another young Australian joining Livingston from the same club. Apparently then 8 Australians playing here. Quote
Stringerbellend Posted May 26, 2022 Report Posted May 26, 2022 Another WSW fan thought I'd add some other bits. You've got a gem of a player and more so a person. I've had the good fortune of meeting him a couple of times and he is one of the nicest people you could meet he is very quitely spoken but total genuine person with no ego. He still turns up at old junior club and will help coach the young kids. He is always first win or lose to acknowledge fans home and away. Some of my fellow WSW fans have a pub trivia team named in his honour and he turned up and played, his Trivia isn't fantastic but he did ok on film. Posts' onfield assesment is pretty accurate. One trait Id add is he never goes missing he's always looking for the ball and to turn and go forward and he'll run his arse off for you when you don't have the ball He deserves his shot overseas and hopefully it's a big success for him he deserves it for years of hard work coming through the Wanderers junior system So look after him he's a good un Quote

Callum Gilhooley Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 Two weeks on from the official announcement and two months on from the pre-contract announced . What’s the hold up ? Have the club given us an update which I’ve missed ? He had the clearance from our side and initially they said he was waiting on Visa clearance but Surely that process would have started at pre-contract ? Anyone heard ? Quote

I doubt it's straight forward when your not dealing with an established international player. I'm sure it's just timing and all is good. Quote

There seems to be massive delays in processing visas. Foreign signings by other clubs have also not had theirs granted yet and aren't able to play for their clubs either. So, basically, it's the Tories fault, the kunts. Quote
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 Cheer chaps 👍 Hopefully we’ll see him in stripes soon. Strange that Ryan Strains move seems to have gone a lot quicker , perhaps because he was already playing outside Oz ? Quote
FTOF Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 A quote from Robinson. Quote Keanu, we're at the mercy of the UK Government, which in itself scares the life out of me. Quote
