A Huddersfield Town fan’s view on Juninho Bacuna’s move to Glasgow Rangers

A Huddersfield Town fan’s view on Juninho Bacuna’s move to Glasgow Rangers

Transfers
Juninho Bacuna has left Huddersfield Town to join Rangers. The Curacao international has been on the sidelines at Huddersfield Town since it emerged the club wanted to move him on and he has had to train with the academy rather than with the first team.  I have a feeling he’ll do well at Rangers and it could be one of those transfers that we later regret. On the other hand, Bacuna has been frustrating to watch at times, so reasons I’ll delve into later.  Here’s my view on Bacuna’s move to Rangers in more detail: What is Juninho Bacuna good at?  Bacuna, or Bacca as he is often called, is an attack-minded central midfielder that is capable of covering a variety of other positions.

Opinion, Player profiles
Juninho Bacuna. I could be wrong but I think this could be the breakthrough season for the young man with the ever-changing hair colour.  Bacuna arrived in the summer in the middle of Town's two seasons in the Premier League.

Player profiles, Transfers
Juninho Bacuna has signed for Huddersfield Town from FC Groningen for an undisclosed fee. Unlike other recent “undisclosed” transfer fees, there’s no mention in the press of how much we’ve spent. The Transfer markt website values him at £1.35m, but I suspect we’ll have paid more than that. Who is Juninho Bacuna? He’s a promising 20-year-old Dutch footballer that has played a surprising number of games for his age. Bacuna has played all his career at FC Groningen, but has experience of playing youth international football for the Netherlands, and was selected for the U21 team as recently as last March. He’s played over 80 times in the Dutch top-flight, so has been playing first team football for a number of years. To put that into context, Philip Billing is two years older and has ...
