Really tasty player but not in the top ten Albion as yet... but would love him to be. Any talk of playing for England is daft at the moment.

A player has a good run of form and he becomes candidate for the best Albion player ever!
Vicente, CMS, now Buckley...
Give it 5 years then judge.
This.
No.
He's good, but he needs to either show the consistency or the true class.
For true class one would have to say Bobby Smith was probably the greatest player to pull on an Albion shirt. Lawrenson also.
Horton and Foster were also class. Zamora for my money still outweighs Buckley. Ward was immense - but I think with a bit of consistency Buckley could be his equal. Let's give him another couple of seasons and make the call then.

The Judge isn't that good, he can however belt out a decent chant.

Personally I think he's been utter shite. Does f*** all most of the time and fancies himself rotten. A poor man's Zaha and that's saying something because Zaha is toilet too. Useless, the pair of them. Much prefer Dicker. And Barnes. And what does Harley have to do to get a game? At times Poyet astounds me with his team selection. Spunky git got away with it again today.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone confirm how old Buckley actually is? Wiki and club site say 22 but article in Argus the other day and another site say 24

Very surprised you think he hasn't been consistent. He's had one poor game this season by my reckoning. The only other players i've seen as consistent are Kusczak and El-Abd.

Not even close! Unplayable on his day, its just a shame his day doesn't come around often enough. He is very frustrating when not on song.

I just hope we can keep him fit for the 1st Dec, he is going to proper terrorize their defense and show up the third best player in the world..
Consistency is a lot more than just the games of this season. I'm talking about consistency over a few seasons.

Fair enough. But despite his injuries he was our best player last season too. Mr Consistent in my book, Mr Brilliant and no reason to think he won't do it going forward. Even when we've played badly Buckley has almost always shone. He oozes class and I think if he had been fully fit since he signed, we wouldn't even be debating it.
Agreed.

We've had regular internationals, players who could cut it in the top level of our domestic league and players leave us for top prem sides.
Buckley is none of these ...... YET
So its a no from me.

Buckers is already in the top 20 for me and he's easily got the potential to be at the top one day. However, as much as I love him, he's still got a fair way to go before he eclipses the likes of Ward, Zamora, Horton

He really is going in the right direction and i would say he excites me just like an early Ward, Zamora didn't excite me as he seemed to score from half chances and not pace, but he was class.
I just hope he can stay in the stripes for a few seasons to come.
