They may make an exciting team with Unai. Scenes when @TRO finds out we are getting another 6 footer plus in the space of a week.

Spoony Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I can’t give any opinion on any Emery dealings as I haven’t got a clue who any of them are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) We will know internally from Harrison who worked closely with him what his potential is, his football intelligence, his persoanlithy and work ethic, willingness to learn etc and how he could develop with the right effort and patience . That crucial inside knowledge with Emery’s tactical genius with the way he develops players makes this a very exciting link IMO. Some of the risk will be taken out of it knowing Harrison has worked with him and if he had any doubts no deal would be happening. Reyna is the bigger name and maybe has a higher ceiling but also comes with some baggage in terms of injuries and questions raised about his commitment which may be unfair but based on what has been reported and commented on by the USMNT coach.

I’m happy for us to sign anyone who Unai himself has a genuine interest in and sees as fitting in and worth it… fact we’ve submitted a bid (rejected) must mean that’s the case and Monchi is on board - who could be a better judge of a player than Unai? Fan opinions simply do not compare… It’s always good to supplement your senior and more relied on players with youngsters with high potential that can become a big part of our future… shopping in the Championship (or even below and certainly abroad) would provide more value than PL and I can’t imagine these kids asking for huge wages, rather they’d be attracted to and excited to be playing for such a big club and taking that step in their careers… they’re gonna have the HUNGER… determination and energy… the better ones should be able to make some sort of impact from the bench and at least inject some energy or tempo into games… rather than slow, has-been, injury prone players on inflated wages… It’s all very wise… we have evidently been trying to trim down and streamline this squad… so that each player can actually be useful… and yeah, every player in an Unai side needs to be comfortable on the ball and proficient in the pass… - it’s funny, because recent names and moves (like Nedeljkovic) are reminding me how some of us would’ve approached a new game of FM or CM (back in the day) and tried to nab all the best youngsters at the best prices asap and ditch the oldies Edited January 18 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Do we have any clue about how much the bid is if true we made one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Surely we have departures lined up with the bids we have been placing recently…? Or do we have more freedom regarding FFP than has been suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea… but reports say the first bid was “not close to their valuation”… might be a drawn out negotiation… maybe we walk away if they refuse to budge… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Fan opinions from the “selling club” are often a good indicator of how good the player may be… Many are worried or concerned and rate him… say he’s more of a creator than a scorer too… Edited January 18 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 These young targets and moves, with loans back for the remainder of the season, are cool and all… I’d just love one or two players to join the first team and help us out for the rest of this season also… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) I reckon he’ll have a release clause … Probs will be for an undisclosed fee if he indeed joins - what is the point in those as doesn’t it get recorded in the accounts ? Is it poss something to do with GDPR ? Edited January 18 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why we’re shopping for future stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No better coach than Unai… if he backs himself to bring out the best in any player (as he has demonstrated throughout his career and time here)… then we should back him… who are we to argue?
