Okonokos Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, avfc1982am said: The thing that excites me most about this signing is the fact that we've probably just brought Argentina's creative future. A player that is probably going to raise our own Jack's level next season. I feel like a kid again I'm so excited. I can see the transfer fee looking like a steal in 12 months time. It will be. £33-40m isn't exceptionally massive in today's market. Look at some of the players who've been bought for that kind of fee recently. We're getting an absolute bargain. I'm convinced of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 4 hours ago, YouUnastanFren said: According to whoscored he took 18 shots from direct free kicks last season and scored 0 so definitely not his forte Very few players have a high conversion rate from free kicks Ronaldo scores 1/20, Messi probably the best in the world 1/11 so I'm not too concerned.

Mazrim Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Lerner's Driver said: Why not? I rate Buendia. He's different to Jack but there's lots of overlap. Jack carries the ball better than anybody I can think of at the moment. At speed too. His vision, distribution and awareness is world class and he's been doing it at the highest level for years now. Buendia still has to prove it at PL level. Yes, he created chances but his last PL season lacked the raw output on assists and goals that Jack has, whilst leading his team too. I'm very excited to see what Buendia can do and how he develops in the same team as Jack. He has massive potential. But there's no doubt in my mind that Jack is the better player right now and probably in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 21 minutes ago, Lerner's Driver said: Play devil's advocate for a minute... Putting aside Jack's 'one of our own' factor, which adds an extra point to each one of his many attributes, does anyone think Buendia has the potential to be (or maybe even already is), a better player with a wider variety of attributes? Better at contributing to the press if you want to look at it that way, yeah. As an overall player and with direct input in us winning matches? He won't be better than Jack no. Jack is one of the best players in the world. If he does go to City, he'll get the Van Dijk elevation inside three months and it'll be the common consensus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very good, great or even world class players that are not a patch on Grealish. Hmm, no doubt Jack is special and improving rapidly all the time, but Buendia has also just made the Argentina squad so, definitely has the potential to be world class and if you look at those highlight clips, I wonder if he also has a greater variety of skills and attributes. Sure, they are just clips and I'm not saying he definitely is a better player than Jack, but I also wouldn't be so blinkered as to assume that just because he is one of our own that he couldn't go on to top him one day. No reason to think that all at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Lerner's Driver said: Suspect you will attract some ire for that, but Buendia does appear to be more of a tiger and can set up a play after winning a tackle, which Jack rarely seems to do. Jack's a better dribbler and quicker, Buendia is two footed and a slightly better passing range. They're pretty even. Buendia also has a temper on him, so can sometimes be a liability. Jack sometimes is slack in the press. Jack wins more free kicks, Buendia takes a better freekick. Edited June 6, 2021 by Philosopher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly the younger ones… Danjuma Groeneveld out of the 5 of them. Rumours Leicester are after him. Ismaila Sarr would cost well over £40mil+ Bright Osayi-Samuel is a good player but I feel we can buy better than him. Yiadom is nowhere near good enough and also he's 29. I've never rated Ovie Ejaria Edited June 6, 2021 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think a lot of other fans still see us as that club that circled the drain for years before going down with a pitiful 17 points. Hasn't quite dawned on them yet that we're a completely different outfit now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
