Reallm Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 He's another American, I know. Just curious what the rest of you might think of bringing Buddle to Goodison. He's in fantastic form currently for LA Galaxy. And rumor has it that Blackburn have their eyes on him. I'm mostly curious if anyone thinks he might be a good fit for our squad.
jcrawfor Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Been thinking this myself for a few months now as well. He was immense for LA last season as well, very near top scorer in the League. Got to think he's worth a punt if we could get him for <2mil.
Ten Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 That video either shows what his potential could be like or its another 'youtube makes a player look great'. Coz that video shows a tall, strong, quick, technicaly gifted, two footed player...who can score goals. Why has noone outside the US ever heard of him?? I like
holystove Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 He's going to be 29 soon and he's never played outside the MLS?
jcrawfor Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 He's just found his stride in LA in the last 2.5 years. Might try and bring him on a loan in January similar to Lando this year.
holystove Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 you sure? 1 year 6 months and 1 day older than Yakubu to be exact .
Romey 1878 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 1 year 6 months and 1 day older than Yakubu to be exact . I think Spidey was taking the piss mate!
holystove Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 I think Spidey was taking the piss mate! Oh OK .. thought it was because the Yak looks really really old.
Romey 1878 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 Oh OK .. thought it was because the Yak looks really really old. Porbably more the fact that he's Nigerian .
holystove Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 Porbably more the fact that he's Nigerian . OK. I get it now :| .
Ian C Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 OK. I get it now :| . Someone missed the joke....
holystove Posted April 24, 2010 Report Posted April 24, 2010 Someone missed the joke.... I blame the language barrier .
nesta2003 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Posted April 25, 2010 If he was 20-21 i'd say av a look but not at his age. Surely we should be thinkin higher standards than this fella or Beckford!

Sibdane Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Not sure about Buddle. I think he would be good if the ball can get handed to him in front of goal... He's scored some cracking goals, but I don't know how he'd handle PL. He did well at Ingolstadt when healthy (sp?). Edited January 15, 2012 by TonkaRoost
Sibdane Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Honestly though, I like him, but I'd prefer Everton to make an investment in someone younger.

flaminfox Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 I was just thinking that he would be the perfect solution to our problems.... not. The guy has already been on trial with two other english clubs that are far worse then us (I can't remember which ones) Also, I wasn't too impressed with him in the US.
tzp7zy Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 He's got the same agent as Donovan and Howard plus Germany are on their winter break, so plenty of reasons why we'd take a look. If we don't fancy him nothing will come of it.
Noble Savage Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 He's not likely to get a work permit ? Very good point. He hasn't been in Germany long but I don't know if hes a regular for his country. I have only seen as an occasional sub for his international side.
Memmaclub Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 He is no better than the 3 strikers on the bench that don't get in ahead of Saha why bother. We need someone who will make a difference or trust in the players on the bench Saha is finished

Romey 1878 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Another average to striker to add to our already average strikers. If we do sign Buddle I'd send Denis back instantly. He can't be worse than him.

Matt Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Dunno, i like Denis' work rate, he actually pressures the defenders into making mistakes and our overall game improves too. Hes got good feet too, all he needs is a goal. Would be nice to keep them both in order to put more pressure on the other strikers.
