Will Buckley

[wakeytom]

Hopefully it will only be for the one season.

Which if he does and keeps us in the PL then that is worth much more than his token transfer fee and also cover his wages for the rest of his playing career in the money the team will get compared to been relegated

 

[sir albion]

Bridcutt and buckley will be back in this division before long

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

In the case of Poyet I wonder if in his contract was a clause as would be in most standard employment contract that preclude an ex employee from trying to solicit employees from his previous employ. ie Poyet would then not to be able try and tempt Albion players to join him at Sunderland. I bet though in the crazy world that is football these terms and conditions don't apply, but would be interesting if they did.

These conditions although fairly common are un enforceable in any business due to European restraint of trade laws

A blind man saw quite easily that he stopped trying around January.

Not true. He was only at cruise speed for Sunderland as well.

Its the opposition paying special attention to him. Great antidote to the wing-back system a fast winger is. Gus played him to wide and he was out of the game in the second half. But so were two Man United defenders.

Behave yourself

No chance

No chance

You definitely spout palace type rubbish

Why because I am not always 100% positive about Brighton. They are my local club now and I want to see them do well although I can be more objective than a fan. Good to see Gus give Buckley big praise there - his biggest positive of the match he says

 

[GoingUp]

He was amazing against United today, destroyed Ashley Young. And he wasnt even a starter for us, wow.

All you ever spout is anti-Albion crap and deluded bollocks about Sunderland.

Think it was a bit more than cruise speed the way he was puffing. Anyway it's time to get over your man love for Buckley and pick a new object of desire.

 

[Mackenzie]

He cheated the manager and he cheated us fans with his performances from January until his departure. Sorry wakeytom, I can't give him any praise.

 

[Icy Gull]

From an Albion perspective good riddance. He effectively robbed the club from January on as Bridcutt did last season. At the risk of setting London Irish off again, the last of the bad smell left by Poyet has now dissipated and we can get on having had upheaval and a shadow over the club due to him for over a year now.

You're talking to us about Gus?

Has he been there a year yet?

Not surprised Buckley played well, he's been waiting 8 months to put a shift in after Sunderland "turned his head" (translated = tapped him up)

 

[MattBackHome]

He could score a brace a match, propel Sunderland to the title, win player of the year and I'd STILL be glad we got shot. He stopped playing for us.

 

[pishhead]

I liked Buckley. An on form Buckley would be an asset for any team in our league. If I was the opposition manager I'd get someone to clatter him early doors. I think he's quite fragile mentally.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Except he didn't say he didn't try. Quite the opposite. He said he did try, but found it difficult because the interest from sunderland/opportunity to play in the premier was in the back of his mind.

Entirely reasonable.

It's just there are some overly sensitive Brighton fans has interpreted this as "I totally did them over, took all their money and did my best to never touch the ball ever again. Suckers. Mwuah hahahahah!!!" (And some fans who probably didn't even bother to read what he said for themselves and have just taken other people's silly reaction as somehow appropriate.

If the club were stupid enough to try to sue him, they would be laughed out of court.

Nicely put and i agree

 

[Albion100]

Totally agree. He may be a good player but gave up on us months ago. Plus his next 5 matches will be average or injured.
