paul514 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 People saying Buendia is over rated and didn’t do much in the premier league…. He had the third highest chances created that year if memory serves and has torn the championship up this year. Should have got him last summer when he was 20-25m, people on here were saying it, me included. I even said sign Toney, although that was a joke about cutting the middle man out.

I think Norwich wanted 40m if memory serves and it put clubs off. Don’t see him moving now theyve been promoted again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think Pereira is similar to what we already have. Can be exciting on his day but he is inconsistent Will improve our squad but not our eleven imo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league where Traore was signed for £ 17 million and we are looking for £100-150 million for Jack, Buendia is obviously worth £40 mill.

He didnt really tear up the league last season and picks up too many cards Is better players I feel than Buendia with better value, look at Benrahma, Maupay who tore up Championship He did very well in the PL. Reasonable to question his cost, but not his ability - imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) " Football Insider " claim we want Tuanzebe back. |Not sure how his injury record has been. However if fit, as a backup CB, and cover for RB ( If Engels, Guibert and Elmo go ), surely we could do worse? They're saying 7 mill. Most likely bollox though.

Konsa is number 1, Tuanzebe is his back up... yeah OK. Injury issues of course but then again he's a back up. For 7m I'd do it. Engels is clearly off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since he was last here he's missed the better part for 2 straight seasons due to injury and when fit he's not gotten much football anyway due to competition for places. He's featured in about 25 games of football over 2 years and played not much more than 1000 minutes over those games. Guy had talent but also had major flaws in his game, his aerial ability mainly and not sure how much better he's gotten since. He turns 24 in half a year so not a youngster anymore. Rather him than Engels perhaps but not sure he's an upgrade on Hause anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Not watched as much Real Betis as I usually do this season but like what I've seen from Guido Rodríguez (DCM). Would be a cheaper option than anyone already in the PL. Tick a lot of boxes, including height Emerson has also been really good when I watched them but again, small sample size as I watched less than 10 games this season. Think Barca owns 50% so they might take him back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes Jacks numbers even more impressive. Absolutely! Apparently Buendia was also pretty good even without those that season. This is from when he was linked to Liverpool and Leeds last summer. Quote It’s not just set pieces where Buendia is creating chances, with Buendia joint-third in the chances created from open play charts too. De Bruyne and Grealish are the only players ahead of him, while he has the same amount as Liverpool star Sadio Mane. Buendia is ahead of some truly top players, including Salah, Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and David Silva. Most chances created from open play in the PL 2019/20 season 1. Kevin De Bruyne (93) 2. Jack Grealish (69) 3= Sadio Mane (55) 3= Emi Buendia (55) 5. Mohamed Salah (54) 6. Riyad Mahrez (49) 7. Roberto Firmino (48) 8. Raul Jimenez (47) 9= Willian (46) 9= David Silva (46) https://talksport.com/football/732147/emi-buendia-liverpool-leeds-transfer-target-created-chances-mohamed-salah-sadio-mane/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i dont get when ppl question Buendia's quality, as you say, he was definitely top 5 for chances created in his PL year.....with Norwich! I would 100% go for Buendia, but i imagine a) he would be too costly, and b) i wouldnt be surprised if teams above us were interested in him. Personally, i would move Grealish to a no.10, and buy two top class wingers, like Buendia and A.N.Other. If i were the manager (obviously im not lol), i would move Grealish to no.10, try to buy Beunida (right wing), buy a top level left winger, and a top level DM, they are the 3 core positions we need this summer imo. (or if Grealish stays left, a No.10 and not a LW) Edited May 1, 2021 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I think most of us would agree with getting Buendia. We just maybe disagree a bit on the price. Nothing wrong with that. Also, he didn't do much in the PL. 1 goal and 7 assists is not stellar for a starting winger. Chances created are all well and good but it's a little bit open to interpretation. If you lay off a ball to some jabroni who has a pop from 40 yards, does that count? Jack and De Bruyne actually had goals and assists to go with it. Buendias teammates figure in that though of course. I think we know Buendia has quality though, and is creative. Potentially very creative. I would not be spending a huge portion of our kitty on him, but up to 25-30m, OK. Edited May 1, 2021 by Mazrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw I think there is pretty much zero chance we will go for Buendia in the summer or that Norwich will sell him to a mid table PL side. Unless he has a clause or he kicks up a fuzz I think the money will be too much for us. Our owners could afford it if they pumped in even more money but I think he'll be close to £50m or more and I doubt we'll spend anything like that on a player unless Grealish is sold. Norwich doesn't have the same need to sell now that they are back in the PL. Edited May 1, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Tuanzebe had flaws when he was with us, and he seems to have regressed since then. If he had not had a loan spell with us I don't think anyone would be suggesting him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
