Still, he begged and pleaded to leave to he get's to stay on the bench for most of the season it is. And to think he could be with us and getting tonked by most teams instead..

Uncle Fred 526 Posted October 9, 2021 I hope he does very well so we can get a decent share of any profit Villa make on his sale 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted October 9, 2021 That's a classic article , taken from another article, that doesn't actually say anything. Buendia cannot demand to start (as far as we know he has demanded anything) , it isn't a "worry" (no one said it was ) and he might (or might not) start against Wolves. In other news, according to Cambridge Canary , Graham Paddon's Beard cannot demand that he becomes King of the World , even though GPB hasn't said anything of the sort, and it isn't a concern that GPB may not be King of the World just yet. (or indeed ever) . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 9, 2021 Well, the article doesn't have much in it, but it is not unreasonable to assume that Buendia's stock has taken a knock after his stupidity over the last international break - it put him in a bad light at a time he should have been thinking about doing the right thing by his new club and he will have to fight to get his place back. Can't knock Villa from that point of view either, the players that took his place have been doing well and he will have to wait his chance again - from the bench. He wanted to go from us and now he's gone, we should have moved on by now and realised that we would have been stuck with the fallout from his International misdeamnours and his temperament, which has not always been easy to handle. Farke seemed to deal with him well.....I wonder if Smith has the skills to get the best out of him as Farke did. Personally, I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trouble is that like a certain (expletive deleted) person, GPB might want to become King of the World, and to have been King of the World, but not actually to be King of the World and do the work which comes with the title.

Some players like Eadie come close to a cap but never quite manage it. Ashton retired within just 1 cap didn't he? It is a huge thing to get that first cap. I'd have done the same. Also, the keeper went with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
