Emi Buendia

[Sexual Ealing]

Bless.

"His commitment is massive. He is always hungry to get his best. He has wishes of me to be proud of him. And I am. I got a plan with him in pre-season - he is doing more than I planned with him."

That is pretty sweet.

He's my favourite player, what a little legend.

Anybody else shout "shoot!" when he got the ball today? 5  league goals of enormous quality so far this season. Hes like the modern day Garry Parker but technically superior and he works his nuts off.

Naturally everyone will focus on the shot and goal but the move to get the ball to Emi was beautiful.

I love that.

If he keeps this up the he'll probably be off to the World Cup in the summer.

Hell of an incentive for him after the last couple of years.

Brilliant goal by Emi.

I was cussing him in the first 10-15 minutes, in which I felt he'd been his old wasteful self. But that was a terrific overall performance from Emi, today, and a superb goal.

So am eating a little more Buendia-shaped humble pie tonight, having suggested that this window might be the right time to offload.

Offload??? After the season he’s having? There’s nobody in the side that has his tenacity and will to win. In my book he’s irreplaceable on current form. Cracking player who will make the odd stray pass ( don’t they all). Bundia is a great player.

I think we might well look to move him on in the summer. He's been great but assuming he keeps up these sort of performances and goes to the world cup I suspect his value will be as high as it's ever going to get and he'll be into the last year of his contract so it will either be a case of selling him as well as we can or offering him a new deal and I'm not sure about the latter unless it's just an extra year and kicks the can down the road.
