In terms of our business, we are down to the last 36 hours and I'm pretty confident that Emery knows every player in every squad at our club, and will have final say on any transfers that may happen between now and then. Exciting. Crazy… what a shitshow and I’m happy for it to continue. Let’s finish above them again and surpass them… And showing that football is not simply about splashing the cash… corrupt AF. Unai is in control 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basket case of a club… So glad we operate completely differently, no one going over Unai’s head… Through my work, I know Graham Potter's best mate (I don't know GP, so not an itk). When he was sacked, I heard plenty of stories about how far removed he was from any decision making. No one on the coaching staff had a clue what would happen with transfers from day to day. Circus of a club. Edited August 31, 2023 by Tubby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus of a club. Absolutely mental… Boehly is a psychopath! Crazy how far Potter’s stock has fallen too… everyone was going mad about him but no one’s talking now… can’t seem to get a decent job either… unless he’s willingly taking a long break and rest… can’t blame him really! After working at that madhouse! I guess Brighton’s set up was a bigger factor toward their success than Potter and his team… De Zerbi is excelling… Again, Chelsea throwing millions, if not billions, at the wall in complete desperation… and incurring such a loss after sacking him… Don’t know how they get away with it and only suffer minor repercussions… Corrupt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 To get more directly back on topic… I love the way we are going about our business… and the way we conduct ourselves. Acting like a proper club with genuine ambition but sense and intelligence to go alongside it… Unai is in full control and supported by Monchi and Vidagany… He knows the club inside out… Will get the best out of his players and only bring in those deemed to be the right fit and of the required standard… It’s excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The best thing is that he genuinely seems to appreciate the trust and faith that we and the club have put in him and the level of control and support that he has. It’s a perfect fit and perfect harmony. Long May it continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely… Also funny how quickly and easily he “connected” with us fans and ingratiated himself… unlike the cold and egotistical Scouse clown… who never even came close to doing so… Unai is the best manager we could wish for… I’m actually proud to have someone so dignified, humble and classy (so rare) in control but he also has the skill, experience and nous to bring us genuine progress and success. Incredible work ethic too… I think those qualities will shine and be reflected onto the players too… such a likeable bunch. Wonderful.

Hank Scorpio Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 2 hours ago, CVByrne said: It's really only experienced backup for Watkins we are really lacking. We've say 3 + Duran atm - Watkins, Zaniolo, Diaby JJ/Coutinho, Luiz/Tielemans, Kamara/Donk, Bailey/McGinn/Traore We've 8 defenders once we sign Lenglet. So even if Coutinho is sold we've two for every position if McGinn is option for LM after recent performances. Cash is option for RM, Zaniolo and Diaby for either side. Ideally we get a LM in but we've Buendia to come back too. We'd need a top LM if we were to sign one. I think it's really just Striker back up we need. If the player we need isn't available then we don't sign anyone. The striker market is poor unless your going near £100m for a surefire player who will deliver. We can't do that I suppose as Watkins is first choice we won't be spending that on a backup. Or Watkins won't stay to be backup himself. All things considered you are spot on. Every position is covered with 2 players now. If Watkins gets hurt or suspended it's Diaby or Duran to fill in. Let's see how it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say he's not a winger because Emery since he joined doesn't really play wingers unless it's FBs playing as wing backs like Moreno Digne Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Seems to be pretty much what Philogene-Bidace is, except this guy is a year older. Not sure I understand this one as he's basically what e have been selling all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
