At this point, it’s about whether we can get £10m for him or if a club is stupid enough to pay more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 He’s a great player to have coming off the bench, either in a situation like today when you want fresh legs, or when you want something a little bit different - he definitely has an eye for a little threaded pass and his pressing gives him some of the “agent of chaos” vibes. Whether he can make it back into our starting XI for the big games, I’m not sure, but he’s obviously a tough character and I think Emery sees him as someone that brings something different to the squad. He looked good today playing between the lines, albeit against 10 men. We won’t see the best of him until after Christmas I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) this isnt a comment on his performances, he clearly has ability and will probably prove a very useful member of the squad this season. However, his contract is up in 2026, and i wouldnt be rushing to offer him a new one, personally i would look to get him some good game time this season, prove he still has a lot to offer, and offload him in the summer. Thats genuinely not a slight on him as a player, i do like him, but i also think that he was good for where we were 2 years ago, not where we "hope" to be now and in the future. So yeah.....get the most out of him this season, give him a chance to prove himself and add value, part ways in the summer of 2025, then reinvest his quite sizeable 75k ish p/week elsewhere in the squad. we signed him for what, 35m ish on a 5 year contract, so in theory, anything over 7m for him is profit (7m ish fee apportionment left in the last year of his contract) Edited October 20 by MaVilla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s as bad as you think but I don’t think he’s that good either. He has a part to play this year he needs to build gradually and could prove useful in cup competitions and provide that rest for Rogers every now and again. Emery and Monchi won’t phase him out they’ll give him minuets and a opportunity to prove he’s still worth money on the transfer market. If they listen to you and bombed him out he’d be worthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Not Buendia's biggest fan, but thought he was very good when he came on yesterday. Gave us some energy on the pitch and created movement and options for players. There's a role for him here yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him for big money and you also need to consider how much it costs us to replace him. If a replacement is 30m, he may generate 10m towards that but it's still 20m to replace a player we already have. I'd be watching this season to see if he's capable of recovering form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, FFP/PSR/SCR/WAT rules have got everyone always thinking about "balance sheet profit" as you put it, but our owners are going to stand for a real loss of £20m on players as long as it's a net positive on the books at that time. It's still money lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I thought he looked quite lively when he came on yesterday, a couple of really nice bits of play including one lovely long pass with the outside of his boot. Promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
