Life after Wenger | Ornstein: Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery

[MagicParis]

He does seem a bit toxic, did Emery improve him in your opinion? I've liked the way he played every time I've watched him recently.

He is a good player and still young but I think PSG and Paris environment is toxic for him, he has to move if he wants to cross a course.
He's been better in his positional sense and for covering spaces behind Neymar + to hold the ball and retrieve it quickly (when he's not nonchalant)

 

[Aevi]

Nah....He is still a top talent who happened to have an average to poor season. He was injured a lot too. The 90 M offer last season was a bit over the top but he is still worth a 60-70 M transfer fee. IMO, bar Özil, he would automatically AFC best player if he could join.

From what I understand from that article, the bloke is claiming we have 50m worth of wages as our budget, not actual transfer fees. I don't think he is on the mark at all with that assumption.

I don't know for sure. But seems Ornstein approved (found this on reddit)

Why was Areola playing most of the time?

Emery had followed him since he was loaned to Villareal and did a good season there.

But it's one of the things Emery disappointed me so much, Areola was not ready for PSG.
Keeping the goal of a dominant side requires concentration because we do concede a few shots.
Areola conceded a horrible 9 goals from 10 shots last year costing us crucial points and we were never able to catch up Monaco.

Imo Emery was asked to incorporate academy players (Areola, Kimpembe, Rabiot). Its management of Gk was not clear, he alternated both Gk. When Trapp conceded 6 at Camp Nou, it was over for him.

Areola has been ok this season but you expect from a Gk to be decisive, sadly he has not been enough.

He's quicker than Xhaka by the looks of it.

Hopefully he'll develop and be more consistent. I've only seen him now and then and have seen him make some very good saves, but inconsistency is a killer for a goalkeeper. But he's still pretty young for a goalkeeper.

Touche! I should have mentioned Auba....Özil and PEA are true stars and talent!

Juan Carlos Carcedo. One crazy ******, just what we need.

It looks like he'll be an instant hit here especially if he goes ape**** on Mustafi.

Just checked the Arsenal News Now feed. Of the last 32 articles listed, 25 of them are about that thing on Emery's website that was taken down. It seems to have ignited a frenzy. I mean, it's not like it was a big secret or anything. But it's a story to generate clicks.

Emery is proper alpha on the touchline just like Klopp and Conte. That passion could transfer to the fans, hopefully making the Emirates loud.

Where did that passion go at the Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabeu?

Would love to see some tough mofo on our bench. We are way too proper. Emotions is not a bad thing. We need an outlet so it channels to the pitch.

 

[wigner]

Read somewhere that he knew in detail about our entire squad and gave plan while interview. This impressed everyone and he was hired, looks like he loves his analysis.

This is the stupidest thing the media are reporting. Of course he knew our players. We were in the same Champions League group last year (2016-2017).

As if he shouldn't know his top group opponent.....?!

This Arteta stuff is great. For weeks on end they talk about it being a risky appointment and then when we appoint a proper manager they make it look like we’re missing out by saying he’s destined to manage City.

 

[Anders Harbo]

City hired Pep bleedin' Guardiola and only gave him a 3 year deal to start with.

Maybe Pep wanted 3 years. Most likely, that was the case, if you look at his track record...

Unai Emery has claimed Neymar was the real boss of Paris Saint-Germain.

Spineless manager, and you're all claiming he's someone tough with a backbone

Neymar and the Brazilian players (and a few others) didn’t buy into his philosophy which he says is ultimately why he couldn’t achieve what he wanted to. Not that different from the WHOLE Utd squad not buying into LvG’s and getting him sacked yet you think the sun shines out of his arse.

Thats a big F you to the board he isnt exactly conceding that Neymar is the almighty saviour is he... The issue there is those running the club are letting Neymar have too much power and havent respected the role of a manager.

Who said he has a 'tough backbone'? I wouldnt say hes an Italian style manager who gets down your throat but he isnt exactly going to let Özil or Auba run the club . The Brazilian contingent + others at PSG threw their toys out the pram because Emery wanted more intensity in their play while they wanted relaxed tiki taka. Don't take it from me its what the PSG chief correspondent Julian Laurens said...

Its not a positive thing for him to say such negative things about one of his previous players. Make him sound like a whiner...not very Arsenalesque. He should have instead said that it was his fault that he couldn't get the best that out of Neymar, but that it was a very difficult setup.

I dont think P$G is run like a normal club tho, they are probably run quite differently and dysfunctionally to an extent. Its defo not a family like atmosphere such as at Arsenal or Barca. More so like a **** Madrid probably
