It's not a myth, but comes from his performances in the championship. He got 15 goals and 16 assists in the season before we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is the 3rd highest chance creator (almost as high as Jacob Ramsey), with a 4.12 xA (compared to Ramsey's 7.12 xA). The disparity between the high chances created, and low expected assists, means the chances he created weren't very good chances on the whole. This is because his xA would be considerably higher if chance quality was high. This just proves that the quality of chances he creates isn't as good as JJ, Watkins and Bailey. Otherwise his xA would be considerably higher, as well as his actual assists! Buendia being some great creator is a MYTH!

B@ecause when he is playing he's normally giving the ball to the player for the final ball. Highest value passes are cut backs across the face of goal but typically are only generated by wide players and full backs. But they also require someone to lsy the ball off a lot of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth pointing out that he usually played RW for Norwich and hasn’t regularly played in that position for us… but I think he can adapt. I expect much better next season, Unai will improve him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I just hope there's enough physicality with the first line, Torres is quite weak, as are Bailey and Buendia l. Could do with some brutes in the top part of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia has the highest xA of anyone in the squad so I’m guessing you’ve just proven your own argument to be wrong? Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance coming to us, Forest paid £40m for him last yr then he had a good season. Looking £70m+ whilst i see us breaking our transfer record, I don’t see us spending that amount on him.

Hopefully just temporary but what an absurd and ridiculous situation. All I can see is “Rate limit exceeded”. It’s been rendered useless. I hate it now anyway, full of shitty ads and irrelevant nonsense. It’s been a disaster, was fine before he took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 2 hours ago, romavillan said: Player about half the time for Spalletti, wide forward. Mid/late twenties I think so he's not a kid with potential. Played well in the Champions League though, even if his form was patchy, so that's a good sign. He's decent, if Emery thinks he can get a tune out of him then don't see why not. Time to get him was when he was ripping it up at PSV but we were championship/just promoted so sort of signing that was beyond us. Always remember him scoring v Germany in 2018 World cup.
