Kiwivillan Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 8 hours ago, Tom13 said: The only one of those that was signed by Emery was Duran, and rumour was we were already tracking him anyway. And Duran is more than capable, just a bad attitude. It was a risk, one which we're very likely to make money on. This is very different. Would Unai have got starry eyed and signed his mate Coutinho? Very doubtful, cos he's an adult that actually knows his stuff. Quite certain it was stated that Duran was tracked well before Emery joined and Emery didn't sanction it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I have a feeling that this will happen which is why Diaby has been let go. I've never been bowled over by him in the limited amount of him I've seen, but he is exactly the sort of brilliant talent gone a bit wayward that Emery could turn into a world beater again. If Unai sees it, and he wants him, I think it could end up being a masterstroke - as long as Felix wants it and knows that Emery can turn him around.

Woody1000 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) The more I think about it, the more this deal worries me. Unai is taking a massive gamble, and it’s one that could blow up in his face or it could prove to be a master stroke. This is just the sort of player who has their career completely turned around by Unai Emery, but he will be coming in on massive wages and I worry that we run the risk of spending 3-4years of his 5 year contract farming him out on loan. That said…If this is the player that Unai really wants, then he deserves our trust as he has more than earned that imo.

carlitobrigante Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Yep its a gamble, but if Emery gets a tune out of him we have one of the most talented players in world football. Potential upside outweighs the risk for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, after thinking some more, I trust Unai, if he sees something in Felix then I believe that he can bring it out of the lad. Let's just hope that if he comes here, he comes here hungry and ready to learn. If he puts in a shift and lets the manager help him turn his career around, he can be a hero for this club. Let's just hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was negative to begin with as well, but I have been refreshing VT every 10 mins for the past two days to check updates in the hope that there has been a massive u-turn and he decides to join us… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I had concerns, not least the player's reluctance to join on previous occasions, but I fully trust Emery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
