Bulot & Buyens - What are our chances on keeping them?

would sign them both in a heartbeat, I actually don't think we are that far away from an excellent side4

agreed, frustratingly though i don't expect Buyans to be here next season.Elthamaddick said:would sign them both in a heartbeat, I actually don't think we are that far away from an excellent side

Have to say, given that (part of) the reason Buyens came in the first place was due to an apparent falling out with Luzon it gives both great credibility that they've apparently stayed professional and worked together well. Buyens has definitely had something of a resurgence in recent times, perhaps Cousins finally get a chance in the middle helped him out there but in either case we play much better with Buyens than without.5

When Luzon arrived there was an unsubstantiated rumour that he had fallen out with all four players he had coached at Liege. That would have made the appointment a joke as it would destroy value given that Watt, Ben Haim, Bulot and Buyens are four of our best players.
I don't think we need to go into the spin and rumours for each of the above as we will know soon enough who stays at our club. But isn't it great that people are now fretting about Liege loans departing given that 12 months ago the leading narrative was one of us receiving rejects not fit for purpose.
And STVV promotion certainly adds an angle, making it all the more complex to speculate on motivation and ambition. Will Buyens join Lepoint over there?!0 -

TWWW has said many nice things about Luzon in the past, so that bit of the rumour seemed unlikely.seriously_red said:When Luzon arrived there was an unsubstantiated rumour that he had fallen out with all four players he had coached at Liege.

Would Buyens prefer STVV to Charlton? Unless he wants to go back to Belgium, I wouldn't have thought so as the Belgian league isn't a strong one, and surely he would want to go back to Standard rather than a small team in the first division.
Lepoint will surely depart though!0 -
Lepoint to Standard/STVV making way for Buyens on a permanent to the Valley seems like a reasonable outcome. In fact cant see any other reason than to why Lepoint was signed if not to move to Standard/STVV at some point.
Bulot's case is still bit of a mystery. Clearly enjoying playing for us and can still get better as a play i believe. If we loose JBG in the summer that would leave us with Harriot as our only out and out winger. Not sure the club/Roland would allow to fall in to that position, so keep Bulot here?2 -
Over the last five years, we've had a lot of players come and go who have really given their all and put in shifts, but none of them quite have had the grace that Yoni Buyens brings to the side. He can kick a ball from anywhere on the pitch and have it land within a centimetre of a winger's foot. if we lost that, I think we'd soon notice when we're on the break and a less sophisticated player just overhits a ball and it goes out wide.
I cannot see Yoni joining a small team in Belgium. He said himself that the crowds and stadiums were bigger here in England. I get that he might want to play in his domestic league but surely he has to look at how near this team is to being a force in this league and think "I could actually reach the premier league with this lot".4 -
I think if the key players are convinced that next season will see a push for promotion they will stay. So the ball is probably in Duchatelet's court.3

We've a ready made replacement available if that does happen. A young lad at West Ham called Diego Poyet.Addickted2TheReds said:Heard from a good source from within the club that it looks very very unlikely that Buyens will re-sign, apparently he wants to go back to Belgium.
Bulot seems much more likely to be here again next season from what I can gather.
We can only wait and see I suppose.
Forgive and forget and get him back on a season loan.2 -

Last Week in London

Pretty conclusive evidence I would suggest:(0

Yep...Always on the cards... Question is what is the quality and fit of the replacement?

Does it mean last week, as in the weather was good last week. Or, it's his last week in London.0
-
I took it to mean that it was his last week in London with his family! As in they are probably heading back to Belgium for the summer or something!0

Bit out of order leaving London before the Bournemouth game then!cantersaddick said:I took it to mean that it was his last week in London with his family! As in they are probably heading back to Belgium for the summer or something!

Maybe the players have already been told we are putting an under 18 team out for that gameLeaburnForEngland said:

We have already giving them extra tickets might as well make sure they get the 3 points

Does that say he'll be at STVV next season? The grammar has me confused.

Yes, Buyens to St Truiden (STTV). Seems very likely to me.Dazzler21 said:Does that say he'll be at STVV next season? The grammar has me confused.

Odd move for all parties0

The last thing I would say is odd. Buyens wants to return to Belgium. He won't want to go back to Liege, so he goes to RD's other Jupiler (Premier) League club. Newly promoted STTV.wmcf123 said:Odd move for all parties

Would not surprise me. Step down for Buyens in clubs but he does not stike me as a very ambitious player.3

Need someone a little better in the middle to be honest if you are looking to have a push on promotion. Buyens has done well though and I thank him for that.0
-
Keep them both. Decent players who look like they want to play here.1
-
Surely wanting to go from Charlton to St Truiden is like wanting to go to Oldham?0

I don't agree with this. A primary reason we haven't been promoted this year is that our leading scorers have scored around the 11 mark (and then only three of them). Contrast this with Bournemouth and Watford.. it's your strikers that get you out of a division, in general.scabbyhorse said:Need someone a little better in the middle to be honest if you are looking to have a push on promotion.
