Emi Buendia

[Rudy Can't Fail]

In the summers we’d have accepted £10m. His value probably increased during the season to high teens, after Thursday, I reckon he’s worth £20m+

Testament to his hard work and Emery’s coaching and man management.

Leeds failed to come up with £17m for him last summer, the same value (€20m) that was the option to buy we gave Bayer Leverkusen. Cheeky gits had the nerve to ask to then take him on loan. Today I'd want £35m for him.

[eye digress]

Played very well when he came on yesterday. Incisive and energetic.

[Brend'Watkins]

I love Emi. He’s not the greatest, no, but what he gives us is 100% effort even when it’s going wrong for him. Keep him, he’s invaluable.

[PaulWinch again]

Such a funny player, but he’s whole hearted and at his best he’s really good. We’re not exactly awash with creative players/goal scorers so keep him.

Ridiculous, should have been on at half time. Emery's in game tactics have gone to pot.

[Percy McCarthy]

G/A:

Rogers 21
Watkins 21
Buendia 18
McGinn 15

None of that quartet is the problem.

[eye digress]

Be interesting to see the combined contribution of Sancho, Guessand and Bailey.

When he’s good, he’s good. Too many times he’s not so good. I’d sell whilst his stock is high. That said, it does show that we need a really good, consistent number 10.

[ROBBO]

At his best he is worth keeping, there are a lot more I would rather see go.

[Smithy]

Agreed, but he's 30 next season, so if we can get decent-ish money, I'd be looking to buy a 22/23 year-old replacement who can be integrated over the season without needing to become first-choice immediately.

I like him, and he's won me over this season after his big injury and loan, but he's one that I think we can afford to sacrifice as part of the necessary rebuild.

I see the argument but with us likely to sell Guessand, return Sancho and Elliott and try to get whatever we can for Bailey we've already got too much churn in that area of the pitch to make any more sales there.

This is why it’s amazing what we’ve done so far considering the lack of goals and assists from these three.

[FatSam]

Be interesting to see the combined contribution of Sancho, Guessand and Bailey.

G/A:

Sancho 4
Bailey 4 (inc. 1 for Roma)
Guessand 5 (inc. 3 for Palace)

[paul_e]

Some places have Guessand down as an assist for us as well but it's the one agianst Brighton where him and Ollie both went for the cross and it might have got a tiny touch from Guessand before Ollie put it in.

THat said I think Guessand was the best of the 3 over the season, that's not a high bar but given he's also the youngest if we had to keep one he'd be my choice because I think he could become a useful player in the premier league.

I like Buendia but he's in a strong negotiating position this summer with 12 months left on his deal. Either we extend his deal or sell him. He gets a decent 3 year deal elsewhere off the back of his performances with us this season.

If Rogers also leaves this summer then I guess makes more sense to keep Buendia around.
