useless Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I'd ban them from signing any more players should be put under a transfer embargo for selling Aaron Ramsey our best academy player who is more than good enough to be part of our first team squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal always has to be the maximum possible. The higher we aspire, the higher we can reach. But always with coherent arguments and without selling smoke." Quote "Money does not rain in the Premier League," Monchi said. "There are also clubs with problems. There are rules to follow and regulations. What we try is to be ambitious from sanity. "My role changes a bit because with the maximum reference that is Unai Emery and from there Damian and I are managing the day to day of the club in sports aspects. We are in a club with a greater investment capacity than that of Spanish clubs, but we cannot go crazy. You have to comply with Premier and UEFA. "Damian and I have an advantage, that we have both worked with Emery. I in Seville and he in Valencia. We know what he is like. Unai is not complicated because there is a very great proximity. We don't have fixed meetings, but we have breakfast together, we eat together, we have offices next to each other. We soak up what Unai needs on a day-to-day basis. He marks the profiles and the style of the player and we give him names and he assesses and we come to the conclusion and sign." Quote We are active to give depth to the squad. If we pass the Conference play-off we can have 55 games this year. We are moving things so that Unai has the maximum arguments." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Seems to suggest and add credence to the idea/fact that there will be more outgoing and incoming players… more business to do… As some of us had assumed and stated… Unai and Monchi have greater capacity, better resources, to act in the market than at previous clubs… Edited August 5, 2023 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because some VT user with the handle 'useless' will definitely know more about Ramsey's potential than 4x EL winner Unai Emery . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in teams at the bottom of the league have more defending to do, therefore will have better stats than players in the top teams. Adam’s defensive actions are better than Rodri’s. Who would you choose? But you are not arguing with me, you are arguing with Emery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 People have conflicting views on the potential/rumoured Aaron Ramsey move… but maybe it’s seen as more of a “glorified loan” and gives us greater capacity to strengthen the team and bring in one, maybe two, players to properly impact and elevate that first eleven…? He can develop there, gets to play in the PL (which I don’t think he would get to for us this season, not for a significant amount of time/games at this point) and if he looks the part… we can bring him back in the not too distant future… we could also negotiate a lesser buyback fee or clause if they get relegated too… a win-win situation for us? I think there is a lot of ambition at the club, particularly from Unai, and we want to achieve as much as possible/feasible, asap… and therefore need to inject that first team with genuine quality that will elevate us even further… I don’t think any of our youngsters are ready to quite do that… yet. Another top class player coming into our side will help us even more… make us more dangerous and effective.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been saying three new bodies in is about right - when you start getting up to five, six or seven, that's too much change. Who knows, but that didn't seem right to me.

Sorry, don’t quite understand what point/comment you’re specifically pointing to…? It’s hard to find “guarantees”… you’ve just got to try and set yourself up in the best possible way, be as “prepared” and have researched as much as possible in this context… No one can guarantee we won’t make another bad/failed signing but we should, hopefully, increase the probability or percentage of likelihood that we make successful and top quality signings… Purslow wasn’t solely or massively responsible for many signings, Suso and Lange have been given plenty of criticism too From what I’ve read in the past, Purslow did make some gaffes… such as going for Drinkwater when Suso wanted N’Zonzi… played a big part in the Barkley (initially looked a masterstroke but turned sour quickly and failed miserably really)… and, of course, was responsible for the clown we had in charge before the master we now have… but he also did a lot right… No one’s flawless (except maybe Unai ) but you’ve got to be diligent and work hard to make good decisions… not lean on your own ego or status but put the necessary graft and research in… Dunno if any of that made sense Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are on a mission and more is needed. I think that’s more opinion than fact… Dan knows a little but doesn’t have anywhere near as much insight as many may assume… Unai’s already commented on it in the preseason pressers, in US. We are active, players to be moved out and we’re monitoring things and ready to act on opportunities - more likely toward the end of August. We probably would be fairly satisfied or confident to go into the season as we are, but if there are good opportunities to further strengthen and add extra quality… we will act… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let's not continue progressing as a club because you're upset we've sold an academy player. If we win silverware and continue progressing I couldn't give a crap who we sell and buy. If we don't questions can be asked then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to him, he follows the youngsters closely and has a “passion” for that side of the game/club… so probably more of an emotional (possibly jokey) comment than a serious statement… Many of us fans have different views… for example, many would like us to build around and integrate our youth as soon as possible, others would prefer us to spend on high quality, maybe more established/senior players, and focus on that side more… and then there are many people in between…. It’s kind of funny how invested and emotional we all get about our club…. but it’s all good as long as we treat each other with respect rather than argue and shout at each other… Anyway, it’s good times now with Unai here… we should just sit back and relax really… and try to enjoy it for a change! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re already a stronger and better outfit… but that little bit of extra “stardust” would make us even stronger, properly formidable and dangerous and make the “big clubs” shit their pants I LOVE UNAI!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
