Nice Canary

Thanks for the welcome. He is an exceptional talent and we were lucky to have had the pleasure of watching him play, there is no doubt he was the key reason as to why we were do successful in the Championship. In reality we did unbelievably well to pluck him from obscurity in Spain when no one else was prepared to take a gamble on him. Was also stunned that no one took him the last time.

He's not got blistering pace but because he has great fee he didn't really need it (in the Championship). I'm keen to see how he performs week in week out in the PL, he did well for us but new player, new league, slightly unknown etc usually allows more space and time, he won't get that now with his price tag. It's the same with all players that transition from the champs to PL I guess, so excel like Watkins did for you, others struggle more. He's not a Grealish but will work his backside off for the team.

Sorry, should have done my research beforehand

On his day he can be unplayable and as good as Emi but not as consistent. What goes in his and out favour is that he is English so that instantly makes him worth what Emi was worth but only because of the market. This is a big year for him, he has 2 yrs left and if he wants a big move then he needs to be more consistent.

He's not very good and neither is Cantwell so nothing to see here

He can certainly pick a pass, our biggest wonder as fans is the effect it will have on Pukki who scored so many courtesy of Emi's passing and vision. We have a couple of new gems in Rashica and Tzolis but like Buendia needing time, they will also need time to settle and knowing Norwich they'll start settling just as we are doomed for relegation.

Hadn't seen that he had been injured. He had a little spell early with us where he needed to settle in but new club in the Champs is different to new club in PL. At least he is used to the pace of the game over here as you play with similar intensity to how we played with him in the side. I've got him in my fantasy team so he'd better come good.

Blame your admin guy, he let me in

Hey Villa fans, visiting canary. Just wondered what your early thoughts are on Emi? Clearly loved at Carrow Road and we were gutted that we didn't get to see him at all last season live. Seen a few posts about him in the No. 10 position, not a position that he really played for us that often so interested to see how he progresses. Seen a few highlights of your games and looks like he is settling in, you saw glimpses in pre-season of what he is capable of so hoping you see the same during the season. For my view I wonder/worry how well he will adapt to a 'position', sounds weird but he never really had a position at Norwich and was just allowed to roam free with Cantwell doing the same, clearly we could do that in the Championship but as we are already finding out the PL is a bit different Anyway, interested in your thoughts.

Hi all. Nice Canary fan here and a lover of Emi. Wanted to come on and see how you guys are taking to Emi, what you've seen so far, how you think he's been played and to give you a canary view of where he has excelled. Have watched the highlights and I post on our Pinkun site about my worries about Emi playing elsewhere if he's not played in the right system. Not here for a wind up or to cause trouble.
