That’s the way the media made him out to be, after all he was an Emery signing and they all wanted you to believe that everything Emery did was rubbish. I actually thought this for a while myself but after actually watching him play more so for Marseille (even though he was quality for Arsenal) realised I was totally wrong.
He might not have been successful here but he was one of the better wingers in the Bundesliga and him coming here was considered to be a coup at the time. Danny Ings record spoke or it’s self and Buendia was one of the biggest talents in the champions for some reason things haven’t worked out the managerial appointment didn’t help
This seems to be the view of Betis fans.
“It's a shame how little by little the League is losing national talent to the English market. A club that is not even in the top ten takes one of the best Spanish left-backs out there right now, soon Spain will have a league similar to France's.”
Ermm no , it’s quite normal only to see one or two make it out of 30 youngsters. Plenty out of the academy are playing regular football in the championship. And the Carney Chukwemeka saga was a success we got £20m for him booked as clear profit. Some will make it some will be sold.
