The worrying thing about a Buckley departure is that (despite his injury record and inconsistent form) he is still one of the very few Albion players capable on taking on and beating opposition players, plus he also has an eye for the goal, both are attributes that we are already rather short of and can ill afford to deplete.
It is rather sad that Buckley's form has tailed off because he reminds me of a latter day Kit Napier, one of my Albion heroes. However if we can get a decent deal for Buckley then it could be good business - but only if we replace him with a wide player capable of being at least as good. But I wonder if the traditional style of winger does not really fit into Hyypia's system and that the income might be added to the general transfer pot - rather than on a like for like replacement - especially if Sami considers that a combination of wing backs and KLL or Solly March will suffice?

Sully wasn't too shabby either!

I mentioned on a previous thread that with our new system of wide players (I mean wingers not fat players) tucking in and playing narrow do we need wingers?
If this is the case sell Buckley!

Anyone else notice Kaz breaking forward from his new central role looking to lay the ball off wide to a winger only to find there wasn't any?
I'm on 39 years, but I would take Elliott Bennett over both Buckley and KLL, every day of the week.
One game v Sunderland.

Take the money and add a % of future transfer fee in the contract. If he does somehow overcome his injury problems we may get a nice payout in the future.

Bennett might just suit Hyypia's formation, but is just returning from a serious injury. I hope it does not dog him like Buckley and KLL. Fingers crossed that EB can stay fit.
Sully was good but I call him as a midfielder. His beauty was he did not make the first obvious pass and held on to the ball before choosing what to do.

No doubt he will be replaced with some useless tw@t from Barnsley.

Despite selling Snodgrass Norwich still have several wide players (EB, Redmond, Pilkington, Murphy) so wouldn't rule out one of them moving on - but I suspect Redmond would be the one in most demand.
£4m is a bargain for him. Salary would put us out of the running
