Menace Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 On 02/02/2025 at 08:23, KaKa said: Their style of play also utilises speed and ball carrying effectively in their transitions. They are going to have a lot of that available, with bodies to come on when others are floundering. Emery also appears to have the temperament to deal with 'characters' let's call them. Thought he handled Duran well. Even at Arsenal he also managed Aubameyang well, who Arteta was quick to jettison. Danjuma at Villarreal, who has done nothing outside of his really good stint with Emery. Tielemans looked heavy and slow when he first joined and was hardly used but has turned it around. From a competitive standpoint that is the concern. I think Emery is quite comfortable working with these types, and it's exactly why they are going for them. Expand Apparently Emery was the one pushing for Rashford, if a manager of his pedigree reckons he can get something out of Rashford I'd tend to believe it. I think Howe would've got him firing too to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Let's be honest, it could go either way and if he can somehow score the goals which get them in the CL it's well worth it for them. I don't they will exercise the option so they only need the budget for this year to afford it and with Saudi giving them a massive gift that's no issue either.

Like @SUPERTOON said, he's going to have that many options, he'll be able to alternate them based on who's performing well at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 As has been said, it could go 1 of 2 ways, Emery either gets a tune out of all 3 and Villa become even stronger, or it's just fucked them from a PSR point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Wouldn't touch Rashford with a bargepoll. He's 27 and looks like he's just given up on the sport, this is essentially his last chance and signing one more big contract. I've got a feeling he'll bust a gut for 3 months, trigger the deal, sign the contract and go back to his lazy ways of the last 2 years. I don't think he gives the first fuck other than sitting on his mega-wage until he officially retires aged 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get him back to playing in a position he’s familiar with and he’s approaching it as a point to prove under Emery I reckon it’ll take off for him. If he gets back to what he can do £40m is cheap - wages maybe not so. If it doesn’t work he goes back to Man U. It’s a good risk/reward for me. Expand Danger is he does a Coutinho, performs well on loan and then you buy him on big wages. Then drops off and you’re starting to do an Everton.
