He certainly rates himself very highly. Pearson bringing him round from club to club bodes well I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously seemed to be a good part of the setup we had when he was here, however he actually left us part way through the title season and joined Spurs, then eventually followed Pearson to Derby, Leuven and eventually joined yourselves It is an interesting one because we have had quite a few members of our scouting department leave us over the years (all for "big 6" teams) but none of them are still at the clubs they left us for Obviously it can be kind of hard to gauge exactly how much input he had with certain signings etc. as the most that comes out a bit our deals is with regards to Walsh and Mills, however I have no doubt he will of had some role to play in them It will be one of those where it could be that he benefitted from the system we have in place, or vice-versa etc. No doubt he is probably good at his job, not someone we seem to miss though - we have somehow turned Congerton who is apparently shocking when it comes to players into a relatively good heading of scouting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrBlack Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) His stats for the season he was in a Norwich side that finished last, compared with Jack's best mate Maddison who played for a Leicester team that finished 5th. Excuse varying quality.. limited by file size and crap on phone image editor. For clarity...Buendia's stats are from 2,014 minutes of football, compared with 2,403 for Maddison. Buendia is quality, and I'd be ecstatic if we got him. Edited June 2, 2021 by MrBlack 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 He’d be my number 1 target, for his work rate as much as his creativity. I do hope there is something in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 We can essentially finally play that 4-3-3 that Deano loves so much if we get him. He can play in the 3, given his workrate, but he can also play as a right forward and we can have someone like Sanson or Carney/Ramsey play in midfield instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably 200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Reminds me that Maddison is kind of overrated. Even within the England team he doesn't hold a candle to Jack, Foden and even Mount is clear now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Sanson with the shift to 4-3-3 in mind for this season. Buendia is the last piece of the puzzle in order to finally have a team built end to end for a 4-3-3. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 On 24/05/2021 at 14:17, Rightdm00 said: 8th in chances created this past season. Not really a department we are lacking unless Jack is leaving. The same Jack who missed 12 games last season with a recurring injury? I’d like to think that the aim of the club is to improve in every department so I doubt that we’ll be happy to be 8th best at anything. We need more than one creative player, which at the very least gives Jack more space to do his thing. Teams were double or trebling up on Jack at times last season, the more outlets we’ve got who can make things happen, the better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
