AshVilla Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I thought he was going to become the next Ever Banega under Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Was a huge fan of his at Norwich, and have been for so long. But even I'm starting to have my doubts now. He gives the ball away far too often, and doesn't seem to be learning from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I can't work out if it's his playing style or whether he is just trying too damn hard to live up to expectations and shirk the 'flop' tag. A similar situation with Bailey. There are some decent footballers in there somewhere - they've existed before- but something isn't right with them at Villa.

Risso Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 That £100m from the Grealish sale isn't looking like it was well spent. Buendia's got a great touch and quick feet, but is too slow, too small and too weak and doesn't affect games enough. He's not a winger at all, and I think if we are to get anything out of him, it would be in the middle of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We pissed the Grealish money away on.2 physically weak hobgoblins in Buendia and Bailey. Not ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only one doing successful incisive passes when he came on albeit lost the ball a few times. Maybe my memory is flawed but I was pretty sure it was him who lost it before their attack. I'll have to watch the TV replay back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although everything to do with this ridiculous obsession in the modern game of having to play it out at the back at all costs even when the game is precariously poised and the field is set in such a way that it's stupid to do so.

Demitri_C Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Between smith and gerrard both have wasted money on utter shit. Suso lange and purslow all guilty. Close to 70m for buendia and bailey is criminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened way too much. The goal was inevitable. So many dodgy moments before. I get Emery wants the team to do it as matter of course but Olsen and some others aren't capable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The issue with Buendia is we dont know his position and I dont think our managers do either. Norwich he seemed to have a free role from the right but not sure we ever tried him there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia fizzed a ball from inside our half straight to Bailey's feet in final third then another on the other side and I thought finally we're going to get in behind them but up front were useless then admittedly Beundia just went to bad then worse but early on looked like changing the tempo that was much needed. I stress the fact he ended the game on a very poor note so can see why people think he was poor overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being bullied off the ball and giving it away time and time again isn’t going to change if he switches sides. He’s a bottom half PL player, at best. At absolute best. Both he and Bailey have been very poor signings given the money we paid for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Other than a few flashes here and there,, he has never shown he was worth what we paid for. Seems too lightweight for the English football. Buendia, Bailey, and Ings have obviously not been worth the Grealish money. And 3 managers in we still have the same essential problem.
