Emi Buendia

[Smirker]

Fair play to him.

[brontebilly]

Delighted for him

Unai Emery on Emi Buendia: "He didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay here. He wanted to be involved and work for Aston Villa. He is showing it every day. Energy, commitment, qualities, versatility. He is going to be very important, hopefully."

[Stu82]

He made a big difference second half.

[PaulWinch again]

Good man, proved me wrong today. I still think he’s very much a squad player, but can’t fault his attitude or effort.

[Olneythelonely]

He makes a real impact from the bench. Shouldn’t be starting though I don’t think.

[Nelly]

Aside from Tielemens, I don't think we really have anyone else who does what Buendia does, he's always looking for the through-ball or the one-two. Everyone else seems to run it down the middle/a channel or we go backwards. I really think with confidence and getting everyone on the same wavelength we'll see a lot from more Emi. So glad we kept him.

great work-rate and attitude by Buendia today - good output too which is what can let him down at times.

Yes spot on you can never question his work rate and sometimes I think he tries too hard. Today worked out for him and he deserves it.

[Rigadon]

I’m far from his biggest fan, but he did well enough today.  I think as an impact sub he could make a contribution this season.  Looks fitter than some of the other players out there.

With all the matches coming up this season we need him.
I rate him. 

[pauliewalnuts]

His attitude is spot on. I like him.

[TonyD]

He got a lot of stick for the games before today. 
But all of them were fecking useless!!

[Aldridge Villa]

Will serve a purpose this season given our circumstances. My forecast doesn’t go any further.

If we had 11 Buendia’s in the side, we wouldn’t do too shabby.
Apart from getting lobbed in goal.
