It is a long season. So far we have had one game a week and barring Bogarde for Cash today (injury forced) have gone with the same starting 11 in all three games. We will very soon be playing weekend/mid week pretty much every week and Buendia will get plenty of minutes then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this like the one where we are going to bottle it against Leicester or the one where Bogarde will never play for us again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 He missed a whole season. I expect to see Emi getting minutes in the next run of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, may I add, the one player who never really did much before he got injured, who is somehow now regarded as the second coming of Grealish. Be great to have him back, but the expectations on him are far and above what he's ever actually shown us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 He's going to feature against Everton, his favourite opponent, and VP will go crazy. I'm pretty sure Unai is saving him for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLVillan Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I thought he'd see a few minutes today to replace Rogers, but the more I think about it, with the frantic pace of that game today, he might have struggled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Last preseason he was played on the left side in Ramsey's absence and was our best player in those matches. This preseason he played centrally. Which is his better position? There's only one way to find out..... Fight!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Will he be sold? I would think so given that he hasn't played a minute in three matches, but we didn't hear one single rumour about him in the last window... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get any minutes against Everton or Wycombe it's probably fair to assume that he's surplus to requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, part of my point was that, given that the lack of rumours, they probably don't want to sell him. If they were shopping him, word would have gotten out. But for next summer, keep in mind that he will have only one year left on his contract. He won't want to renew if he isn't getting any playing time, and they'll want to get something for him while they can. Yes, I know, it's still early and he could see more time when we get into the CL and the domestic cups. He and Mings are my favorite Villans, so I hope both of them do get playing time. I'm just facing the reality that it looks like Unai has him behind Bailey, McGinn, JJ, Rogers, and maybe even Philogene for three attacking spots, and the Felix pursuit shows that management is trying to buy another attacking player who will push him further down the order. Would you want to stay if you were 7th in the pecking order for 3 spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Cynic in me is thinking Buendía is getting a run out to tempt a Turkish club to take him on loan from us, with all wages covered. sadly I don’t see him getting much game time ahead of Rogers, Bailey, Ramsay, Philogene et al ahead of him. Hope I’m wrong as he can be a real asset for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly. It's a long season, there's plenty of time for him to come back and start to be involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The great thing at the moment there is no huge rush to get the long term injured guys back. I think everyone realizes after all these months, let’s not mess it up now. i think Emi will have an important role to play this season. As well as being skillful he is more combative than some of the other younger lads, this will be an important attribute in the coming games. Good Luck Emi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
