Captain_Townsend Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Buendia, whenever he comes back will be like a new signing with a point to prove. I wish people could see the positives.

I wish people could see the positives. We have a lot to look forward to I've criticised him loads over the last two seasons but give me him and his risky passes over Zaniolo just running around with hardly any product all day and every day. Will be back to being a key part of our team next season you'd imagine as not like his game really relies on acceleration with the areas of the pitch he covers. Just hope he can play a few times before the end of the season to get his sharpness up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Buendia alone is worth 5 goals a season for Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'd love it even if it was a 5 minute cameo off the bench for Emi at some point this season. Like Mcginn Sunday, Emi would be fired up and getting stuck in. I'm a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 God he would have been massive for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Great to see Buendia back training on grass with the ball. The next step will be training with the first team and an increase in intensity. I imagine he is probably at least a few weeks before he gets to that point in his rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted March 12 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12 love the fella, he is just the type of player and the type of character you want around a team, a rare talent, tenacious and well liked. I can forgive his faults every day of the week 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 He’s closest to our version of Maddison/ Odegaad/ Foden etc. We became very one dimension ( wing play / counter attack) since he’s out and Youri/ Luis is not as creative / effective in his position.

Sulberto21 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Where he would have made a difference is in his movement and pressing. He also would have made Diaby’s game better too and there’d be less pressure on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 He's being unfairly overhyped in his absence, which will only lead to unfair criticism if doens't live up to that hype upon on is return. Before injury he was in a similar position to Bailey, that is he had to prove this season that he was good enough for a top six side, so it shall be the case for next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 He was plenty frustrating even before his injury so he'll have his detractors post-injury still. That being said, sometimes I wish we had non top six Buendia in the side too. Would just solve a lot of the problems we have in the build up.

Don't know how you can claim this tbh. Luiz's goals and assists have gone up massively this season. Tielemans 100% but not Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True , but it’s not fair to compare Luis this season stats to Buendia last season’s as all our players have improved under Emery this season, (oops maybe not Cash) and safely assume Buendia would have too, if he’s not injured.
