We may not have needed him at the time, that is possible. But the last two seasons would have been a hell of a lot worse without him. He has been a shining light in a fastly diminishing squad.

Noooooooooo. Surely not? Not the living legend that was Diskin!

I know, Leeds never did anything without Buderus did they.

I mean, his influence was never more greatly emphasized than when Leeds had to cope without him from July 2009 till the end fo that season.

Was 2009 the last two seasons?

I would like to see how liam goes in a few games as he is my mates lad, not sure him and mcshane are the answer full time on current form to be honest

Agree with this also. I said we didn't need him, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good signing.

Well, this one hasn't finished so, yes. the last two full season's were 2010 and 2009.

Alternatively, from July 2009 to July 2011 is two full seasons.

More fogknitting I see from you.

Where did I say full seasons?

Last two seasons are 2010 and 2011. No fogknitting can put a different slant on that.

Meh what does Buderus know?
Seriously I don`t think he is the sort of person to big him self up by saying we needed him and we were right to get rid of Diskin who in my opinion was not delivering like he should have been.
And yes Diskin does have the GF rings but so do one or two others in the Leeds team who again in my opinion offer little these days.

Further lack of clarity on your part. No wonder why everyone takes such an issue with your posts.

"Last" two seasons eh?

2011 is this season, not last. last two seasons were 2010 and 2009.

Rubber-Johnny Wainhouse will be in the playing roster next season to off-set the departures of Diskin and Buderus.

Fantastic player though he is I DID think hooker was the least of our problems with McShane and Hood as back up.

However McShane looks to have gone backwards recently ...and without the recent efforts of Buderus our present pack would look even more pathetic than it already does. Even I, as a vociferous campaigner of bringing in the kids, would hesitate to field Hood with the lack of grunt up front.

Buderus at the moment would be a HUGE loss. He leads the defence and is criminally under appreciated by some on here.

It's not his fault he was brought to the club, nor is it his fault he has persistently being under utilised as a full 80 min hooker that he undoubtedly is. I 've grown tired of seeing him taken off when competing and then brought back on when losing badly largely DIRECTLY due to his removal from the field.

Still would let him return to Newcastle.... it's the least the club could do for having him play under such an inept coaching set up.
