He seems to get on quite well with the other South American though, always in their social media photos.
-
For me, every player gets a clean slate. Need to see if they can work in a system that actually works and is better coached. If not we move them on.

Emery will know better than us, perhaps he has just improved as a player. He has a hefty price tag though, i'm not sure he would be worth it.
-
For a nation as gifted at producing footballers as Spain, we haven't seen that many decent ones down Villa Park: Pepe Reina Jota Borja Baston Jose Crespo Adama Traore Carles Gil Antonio Luna Carlos Cuellar A few dodgy ones there. Hopefully Emery having an excellent knowledge of La Liga, will be able to attract a few here.

Not heard anything yet. I was thinking it could be Aitor Karanka. European Cup winner as a player. Prem experience as a manager. Certainly, would be considered an elite coach IMO. Is Basque, so I would assume he knows Unai even though they may not have played together.

Can't wait now for the Emery era to begin. It'll be such a change to see a manager who actually knows what he's doing. Gerrard really has set the bar so low.
-
He'll almost certainly be in the stands watching the game. And if he happens to say some tactical analysis out loud. Well, nothing we can do about that.
-
Will be an improvement if we can get double figures for league goals. Along with Watkins. Still think we need a real goal scorer if we want to hit the next level.
-
I'd even take a good performance and a draw.
-
Overwhelmingly positive comments about Emery joining Villa. This one is somewhat negative.
-
You reckon he’ll drop Emi for Steer?
-
A joke? To wind up Newcastle fans?
-
He’s gonna turn into a world beater under Emery
-
Be interesting to see if Emery sets the team up like that. Although why he selected McGinn instead of Donk I don’t know. the asymmetrical 442 can easily change into a 4231. Ramsey would be interesting in wide midfielder role. Can’t see where else he’d fit.
-
Sounds like he was our first choice all along.
-
Only? He was joint top scorer with Mane and Salah. Of those 47 goals 13 were from Lacazette. Remove Auba/Lacazette goals and Arsenal scored 34 goals in 38 games. Somehow, I don't see Watkins and Ings scoring 35 goals in the league between them. So hopefully we can invest in a better striker at some point.
-
And what? I'm just pointing out the fact that Arsenal's excellent goal scoring record under Emery was in part due their phenomenal striker (and also Lacazette) There wasn't many goals in the rest of the team.
-
Exactly, we don't have one of them.
-
Hopefully we get to see some youth players make their debut under Emery.
-
The Arsenal goal stats are inflated slightly, they relied heavily on goals from Auba. We don't have a striker that could currently hit 20+ (Ings has one season with Southampton, but can he re-find that form?)
-
Any manager taking that job after Wenger was setup to fail, same as Moyes at United after SAF. Emery will have learnt from his time at Arsenal, and sounds like he's determined to prove any doubters wrong that he can't cut it in the Prem.
-
He can probably do both depending on the opposition, a 442 can very easily change to a 4231 mid-game.
-
Wonder if he will look to any of our youth yet to make their debuts?
-
It says a lot then that Emery and Mourinho are serial trophy winners. Sometimes it might not be pretty, but they get results, and silverware.
