Perhaps he told him that Bodymoor is next door to the belfry, maybe it was the deal breaker. Dunno about Olazabal but can we go and sign Oyarzabal?

The Fun Factory Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 They used to say that Basque football was quite similar to British football in being quite physical and direct, but both sides have probably moved on since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is known as an europa league coach doing best with underdog clubs rather than the huge clubs with expectations to win. He had only won one league title and that was with PSG. He is probably in the category just below elite but I'm excited to see what he can achieve here and if he can take us into Europe.

I am very curious about the captain situation, I wonder if Danks picked Emi knowing who was taking the role. I think he’d be an excellent captain alongside Ty. There's no way Watkins is going to the world cup, imo. And I'd say there's only an outside chance of Mings going. I think Martinez is a definite and then Coutinho, Luiz and Mings are all outside chances. I doubt anyone else will make it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Also another thing about this appointment, is his ability to attract players to want to play for us. A lot was said about Gerrard’s pull due to his playing career and yes I’m sure it helped us. However, I would not be surprised if a few top players are open to joining Villa because of Emery and his ability to win. I don’t want to get carried away but these are some seriously exciting times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could have no better leg up than starting after the players have endured a year of a certified **** idiot. I'm certain it'll be a breath of fresh air for them. To get back to basics and talk about Steven's legacy, does anyone know where Emery stands on ketchup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 23 year old coach supposedly coming to be part of his staff. He only joined Emery this summer and according to that he seems to be rated for developing youth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
