Would be perfect to partner Watkins in the deeper striker role, but I’m afraid he’d spend more time on the sick bed than Diego Carlos.
On a separate note, he was a Monchi signing at Roma, one of the few signings he got right there. Maybe Monchi is imminent?
I could see Unai at a club like Napoli, but in about 5 or 6 years after he’s won us a Europa Conference, x2 Europa Leagues and established us as a CL side
If not for Emery, I’d be a bit apprehensive about this if it happens. He’s obviously done a stellar job at Sevilla, and was high in demand a few years ago. And we can’t just use his time at Roma, as there was likely other factors why it didn’t work. But what if he’s just suited to Sevilla? And just doesn’t work elsewhere.
Slow build-up at the back to lure the opposition, then when they commit and press our defence/keeper we turn the ball into midfield and drive forward at pace. Barnes would probably be quite effective at the latter part.
As things stand, yes. However, UEFA have opened a match fixing investigation against Osasuna, if they are found guilty, they will be banned from Europe, allowing Athletic Bilbao to qualify and they will be seeded ahead of us
