The Emi Buendia Thread

[ironside]

Nice reaction from Norwich fans. Some of them reckon he’s better than Maddison.

Buendia deal not yet signed. There could be twists to this. There are reports Arsenal have offered £35m. Don't break out the champagne yet.

No plot twists, it’s been agreed, he’s having a medical in Argentina, all the Villa players are now following EMI Buendia on Instagram and Emi’s started following the Villa players, I’d say it’s wrapped up, no doubt there will be some sort of selling fee attached and bonuses pushing it close to 40m anyway.

Arsenal with a last minute counter bid when they know the deal has been concluded with us. They do this all the time, straight out of the Doug Ellis play book. They're fucked as a club.

lovely but meaningless unless he has actually signed a contract.

I’m out of touch with all these things not that I ever really knew how they worked - so where is Buendia then and how does it work?

I assume he is somewhere in South America as he was pictured with Martinez, so how does that work with those of us who like to see the player “in the shirt, on the pitch”.

Can/will he sign today? This is by far and away the most important thing in my day and I’ve got some important things going on right now

With the Argies and Emi - he can have a medical abroad, it just needs to be a certified medical building ie hospital, private hospital, private practice etc and then a club approved Doc/GP etc.

Personal terms agreed from everything I’m reading, let’s be honest players all following each other is a massive thing for me, it’s been closely watched and it’s happened over the last 24 hours.

So I think his mind is set on us, perhaps we’ll announce it when the window officially opens.

He can't actually sign until then can he unless it's pre-contract deal but pointless 3 days away

You’ve got me twitching BringbackMon. Don’t ruin my Sunday by casting doubts. Please.

I’ll happily fly out to Argentina with a toy stethoscope and seal the deal if needed. Dodgy heart conditions might not be picked up

 

[Villan57]

Let's hope the Argies don't invade the Falklands again before Wednesday

In fact, actually, thinking about it a little more we'd probably just freelance the Argentine medical chaps if they were happy to do it.

 

[The Fear]

Think there is enough in the debate, and the link is so strong, that we can have our dedicated thread now (leaves the transfer thread to new rumours)

 

[Pride of Lions]

Hope the Buendia deal goes through would love to see this kid play for us.

Well it's 99.9% certain I suppose..... he's got his own thread already, even though the club have not officially announced it yet....Lol

 

[crimsondonkey]

Like a few others I’ve been hoping that Villa would land this talented lad since Norwich got relegated.

Thrilled. He and Jack will terrify defences good and proper!

 

[Platypus]

The guy looks class, his stats look class, two good feet, by all accounts works his socks off and can stand in John McGinn's shoulders at set pieces to make a normal adult human's height.

What's not to like? Oh the odd red card or two but what's a bit of, ahem, argie bargie, between friends?

 

[mike_field]

He picked up the red card tag in his first year at Norwich, discipline wise he's improved season on season but does have a red mist in him.

[The Fear]

Interview with our Vital Norwich editor on Emi

Losing Buendia is going to be horrible for the Canary nation. He is quite simply an awesome footballer. He was plucked from Getafe for an initial £1.5m fee as a replacement for Leicester bound James Maddison, who at that time was the outstanding player in our squad. Despite Maddison’s brilliance in Daniel Farke’s first Championship season, he had to be sold to keep the club afloat and Emi came in as his unknown successor.

For a minute I had no recollection of starting this thread and was a bit concerned but I see what's happened.
