Lee Hendrie Aston Villa
Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia has been a topic of discussion recently, with Sky Sports pundit Lee Hendrie suggesting that Birmingham City could potentially rekindle their interest in the Argentine playmaker. Buendia has been in impressive form, scoring in Aston Villa’s recent Premier League victories over Feyenoord and Fulham, which has kept him firmly in manager Unai Emery’s plans.
Lee Hendrie said: “I’m not sure what’s going to happen with Emi. He has been used an awful lot, and he says that he wants to fight and stay at Villa. I know Birmingham have been interested in him and have been looking for a number 10, creative, a bit of flair. I’m sure they’ll be looking at maybe reigniting that little bit of interest for Buendia. If it doesn’t work out for him from now until January, I think lots could change.”
Despite Hendrie’s comments, the prospect of Buendia leaving Villa Park has sparked considerable debate among fans. Many Villa supporters have expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a move to Birmingham City, especially given Buendia’s current form and the club’s ambitions.
CrazyCat1 said: “I don’t think we will be looking to sell him. I know he would not want to play in the Championship. And the Blues could NOT afford to buy him.”
GratefulDead added: “Even if Buendia did leave it won’t be to Blues that is for sure, but I very much doubt he will leave January anyway.”
Zackman commented: “Nah keep dreaming. He’s playing better and better so jog on Bluenoses.”
KevUTV remarked: “They would need to win the Euromillions, after eight rollovers, to have any chance. Villa will just price him out of the market, if they even listened to an offer. This is just not going to happen this season or next. Dream on.”
Villafansince1966 humorously noted: “I thought it was October and not April 1.”
Buendia’s recent performances have solidified his position at Aston Villa, making a move to Birmingham City seem unlikely. However, Hendrie’s comments have reignited discussions about the player’s future, with fans eagerly watching to see how the situation unfolds as the January transfer window approaches.
