Barry Bannan Scout Report

Barry Bannan, despite being in the twilight of his career at 34, continues to exhibit an enduring mastery in the heart of Sheffield Wednesday's midfield. With standout stats in chance creation and goal efficiency—ranking impressively high among his peers—Bannan remains a vital playmaker. His deftness in progressive passing is unmatched, showcasing a near-perfect percentile, which speaks volumes of his vision and understanding of the game. Although his pass accuracy leaves room for improvement, indicating a certain risk-taking tendency, this recklessness is counterbalanced by his formidable ability to finish, often surpassing expectations in goal involvement. A true central hub, he executes impactful touches primarily in the midfield, facilitating his team’s transitions with finesse. However, his lower rankings in interceptions and progressive carrying suggest that while his off-the-ball movement is deft, he rarely dominates possession. His eclectic style of play acknowledges his limitations—most notably in aerial duels—and maximises his elite strengths in direct, incisive attack. In sum, Barry's combination of experience and creative flair still provides Sheffield Wednesday with a competitive edge in the Championship.
