andrew_2010 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i know the boy gets pelters off of alot of fans, but this guy is a good footballer. has a bit of class, intelligence and ability compared to the rest of the squad. would be sad to see him go, but if replaced by someone of similar if not better calibre of player then i will deal with it... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 So if this deal goes through, surely we should be able to make a decent offer for Scott Brown? Even if we up the bid for McCulloch and buy Hartley, there should be more than enough? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,680 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Tbh I would not be surprised if Buffel doesn't make this move. Hannover arfe not exactly a big German team and he will likely be on a good wage at Ibrox. It's all speculation really at the moment. No doubt there will be loads more to come before the Deadline 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 yeah he has great skill but ive lost count of the amount of times hes been through on the keeper only to blow it. Buffel has cost us quite a few points his season and i for one wont miss him if he goes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Couple of places were saying that the Germans are very keen to get the move completed and Buffel is expected to go. Assuming we get 1M or so for him, that's more money in the pot and also his wages which must be £15,000+ per week. Only downside is that we're leaving it damn late to get players in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The fans seem very split on Buffel and Im on the side of being a fan of him. He has faults that I thought Walter and Ally could fix. 1) Toughing him up 2) make him realise a game last 90 mins 3) Play him in his position With those points above added to his skill and ability then we would have a good player in the creative role. Wherever he goes (he'll be more suited in the continent) i think he will do a good job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,720 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 AZ Alkmar are also interested,rumour.The guy has ability but never seems to produce it, same as Lovenkrands, so if we can get something for him then i think that would be better for us, i mean he has hardly played so won't be missed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think he's a luxury we can't afford just now. The points Gribz makes are exactly why I think we should cash in on him. I'd give him more time, but he is earning a lot of money and hasn't made an impression under two managers, so why should a third make any difference? Do we have the time to try and sort him out this season? I think he does have quality, but for a number of reasons he's just not worked out here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
