I’d imagine we’d be straight in for him if Emery wanted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine if we can find them but per Emery's quotes no guarantees. At some point we are simply going to need experienced bodies, we already have virtually no wide players as it stands. The principle of buying only quality is noble and only right, but Danjuma is a loan. An option like that with minimal risk attached makes a huge amount of sense to me.

We can’t play the next 4 months with just Ollie as our only striker. Imagine if he gets injured next match We won't be signing a striker. Emery said we have 19 games and would cope if Watkins gets hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew they had an issue up front and they could have brought three in with that money - idiots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't roll out the cliches. He's obviously happy with the points, but doesn't believe we are anywhere near where he wants us to be. Straight up letting players know if they aren't pulling weight they'll eventually be replaced. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuram will want weigh up his options in the summer and lille aren't going to let their top scorer, who has contributed over 30% of their total goals this season, go in January as he will be difficult to replace this window. I think JD would be well suited to Emery ball though. Edited January 21, 2023 by Made In Aston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery’s “we will only buy what improves us” is exactly right to move on Only if the reserves are good enough to step in if we get a slew of injuries. Case study: we nearly went down in 14/15 but crap players like Tom Cleverley on loan kept us up. We finished 17th, 3 points shy of the drop. He scored 3 goals late in the season without which we'd have gone down. At a certain point you need bodies to field a squad capable of stringing passes together. The attitude of "we only spend to improve" is naïve IMO, especially with obvious gaps in the squad. Also, and this is secondary and almost academic, but Danjuma is not crap. 10 goals and 3 assists in La Liga 21/22, very respectable return for a winger. But you already knew that of course.
