4MenHadADream 122 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I always liked him, a good player but perhaps a little lightweight for Scotland. On his day he could be brilliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,390 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thought he was a cracking player, though wish he'd played a bit more in 2007-08 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watp72 54 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Was bright and energetic and definitely had talent. His biggest problem was, he made Scott Brown look fat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 582 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 always thought he was over-rated. definitely had more potential than most of our squad at the time but he played for us like hes playing tonight - gash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Always liked him and wished that he got more game time. Never really had a position for him, though. A luxury player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gid 46 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Interestingly I remember Gers fans at the time abusing Eck for playing him left mid as his apparent best position was just off the front man. Funnily enough though I noticed in the build up to the Chelsea game he was described in "The i" as a left winger = so maybe his current manager thinks he's best there too. Still no one knows better than your average RM mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Played one game in six and was injured the rest ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watp72 54 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Played one game in six and was injured the rest ........62 appearances for us in 3 seasons..... so for this to be a correct portrayal of his career here, we played 372 games in that 3 year period. Aye, ok....Sure, spent some time on the sidelines but still averaged over 20 games a season.Edit... unless you meant scored 1 in 6... which is factually correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBlue 136 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 One of those players who will apparently only produce the goods if he is played in his best position and is anonymous if played "out of position". Unfortunately his best position requires you to build the entire team formation around him. Fine if you're Messi, less good if you are Thomas Buffel.Even less good if you are John Fleck.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,392 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I think Buffel could have been used effectively in the 07-08 season just before we sold him, especially in Europe. We were crying out for a guy who could provide a link between Darcheville and the midfield and I think he could have provided that link a lot better than a slowing down Barry Ferguson was asked to do.However he was never consistant enough to have an entire team built around him for a gruelling SPL camapign.Hindsight is 20-20, but we really should have sold him to Galatassary when they offered us about 4 million for him.

Don81 2,846 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Think lovenkrands with more skill but less pace. As someone has already said he never quite got to grips with the physical nature of our game. Had a few great games though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
