Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People

Is £40m enough though? Factoring out goals and assists in his Prem season he had similar stats to De Bruyne with chances created and beat other players such as Grealish and Mahrez. Would they get sold for that price? Obviously they have more Prem Experience and brought goals and assists to their game which Emi didn’t, but who’s to say if he had the players around him at that time he couldn’t have achieved better stats. His Argentina call up will make him more in demand and i’m not sure Arsenal is the stepping stone he needs. He’s good enough for an Atletico, for a Chelsea. Leeds and Villa are delusional if they feel they have even a remote chance of signing him.

Arsenal are a bit of a joke at the moment. Out of their squad you could probably hand pick 5/6 that are good enough to play for them. The rest need to be put on the scrap heap. As mentioned the value they are putting on their fringe players is absurd. Arteta isn’t right for them and are the Kroenke’s really going to splash the cash. I can’t see it.

Worst i keep seeing is Aston Villa being linked with Emi Buendia. I mean Aston Villa. Come on!! Plus another insult is they think they can pick him up for less than £35m🙄

I wouldn’t mind seeing Loftus-Cheek come in if Skipp is a no go. Big, athletic, tough in the tackle and can hit one.

Plus i think The Championship has definitely become a better league. It gets moaned about every year with the level of teams, saying its a weak league but their are hundreds of International players plying their trade here. Obviously bar the EPL, La liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 i imagine it is probably the 6th best league in Europe. You have the Belgian, Dutch, Czech, etc but really only 2-3 teams per nation that really contest for anything

Messi must be pinching himself. Never to old to learn off the best. Lucky little Lionel.

Brentford, Blackburn and Qpr all interested. Hilarious that they could have got around £3m from us a few seasons ago. Now lucky to even get £1m

I tend to agree. I don’t think Buendia is replaceable, he is hands down the best player i have witnessed at this club. That is probably the only part of their interview i thought was wrong. Only thing i would want is for him to get the chance to represent Argentina while he is still a player here as i feel realistically he will give us one more season before moving on to that Champions League club. Everyone compares his stats to Grealish and says how Jack performed better and got more goals and assists but they don’t add that Villa invested £100m on new players that season in the Prem to make them stand out more compared to our budget to help Emi and co out.

On Sky Sports News, the two guests from The Not the Top 20 podcast describing Buendia. Both in awe of him. Saying he could easily fit in any of the top 6 clubs. Seem to thing he is replacable. Spoke about us for around 10mins and said we are much better equipped this time round to stay up.

Reading have been woeful away lately and Barnsley may rest a few players if they have secured their play-off birth by then. Its not out of the realms but am happy that we have promotion secured and Webber and co have a head start on the other 2 promotion contenders.

Would be a shame as we have been up there all season. Personally i’m not to fussed but will be good for players like Skipp, Gibbo, Gianny and some of the youngsters that have featured to get a medal

Not a rumour but would quite like us to look at Samuele Ricci of Empoli if we can’t get Skipp back on loan. Big future in the game, currently playing in Serie B, 19, Italy u21 international. He has a good passing range as well as being a gritty tackler. Only drawback is Arsenal and Leicester have been alerted to him.

Turned down a massive offer. Only team i can think of who he turned down would be The Binners. Massive club, bags of money. Just putting 2 & 2 together here.

I didn’t realise Citeh were that afraid to play us they would rather being kicked out of the league

Lol thanks. Useless at the clickies!

Wouldn’t care if they got promoted. 11 vs 11 we’re taking 6 points off them all day

We’ve got the added advantage now of sorting contracts and looking at potential signings coming in as we now know our league. Rven a couple of weeks extra is an added bonus.

I put a tenner on each of them to win and on the treble. More than happy to part with £40. Would have only spent it on alcohol anyway. Liver is thanking me.

Look at the table and swap our position with either Brentford and Swansea and ask yourself would we catch them?

That worried. Keep lumping money on Swansea, Brentford and Watford, throwing us in to lose. Either going to get rich or happy City are promoted. More than happy for the later

Emi got my vote. I’ll be lucky to see anyone come close to him as a City player again. Phenomenal talent. A player we struggle with when out of the team. Skipp, Hanley, Pukki are all worthy shouts but Buendia has upped it another level this season.

He probably didn’t realise how carp that team was as well. I’m sure the majority of the squad are out of contract in the Summer so they are in for a major rebuild.

Trio of Spanish clubs interested in Emi. Sevilla, Atletico and Villarreal. God its going to be a long Summer😆

Emi is class pure and simple. He has that raw talent that can’t be coached. I can honestly see him in a PSG or Juventus team he’s that good. A lot of people may scoff but we’ve had Barca, Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen, United, Liverpool, etc all take a look at our players. We’re obviously doing something right. No longer the feeder club who sells to a mid table prem team who eventually sells them on for inflated prices.
