alexscottislegend 2,064 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Now look: this is a straightforward honest question. Yes, he's been inconsistent in the past, yes, he's had injuries - but he seems now to be fit. SO - WHY does Buffel not merit a start - ESPECIALLY since he'd fit beautifully into a 4-5-1? After all, he played that way at Feyenoord. And if he is on his way out - who should we go for to replace hime - give the midfield that bit of "continental class"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think we seem to be doing perfectly well without him. Buffel never made such an impact in how many years as Davis has in a handful of games... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 How about 12 games unbeaten for a reason? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think you do have to remember Buffel had his chance when Rangers were crap which he can't take the total blame for. If he is not going to get a chance then why did we not let him go in January. We might not have got much money for him but probably saved a 3\4 million in wages. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 How about 12 games unbeaten for a reason? 19 games is it not Frankie ? But still..... those are either 12 or 19 reasons why Buffel isnt starting. And valid reasons too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Everyone knows Im a huge fan of Buffel and think its madness he hasnt been played more, but at the moment we are winning games, and the recent ones have been in a lot better fashion. Thats mainly down to Steven Davis coming into the team. Id still be having Buffel on the bench and giving him a run but with Davis and Dailly doing so well I wouldnt start him. But Buffel does offer something different to every other midfielder we have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,330 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Apparently if he plays a few more games we are liable to pay more cash for him, hence he is not getting played. He looked good when he came on as a sub, and probably warrented inclusion, but finance seems to be the main factor....as it was for Michael Ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,416 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The thing is,we need the so called good players to turn up when we are not playing well,something that I don't think Buffel can offer,we are doing fine without him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Apparently if he plays a few more games we are liable to pay more cash for him, hence he is not getting played. Correct This has been said on here many times. I don't know why it keeps coming up. We will owe them money and we don't want to pay it. We couldn't get shot of him in January so we're stuck with him till the summer 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
