I don't think anyone said players are forced on Emery. They're not going to sign players he doesn't want, but he's also not giving Sanllehi and Fahmy a list of players to chase. January was exceptional circumstances since they apparently couldn't sign players permanently, so with limited options he pushed for Suarez on loan and they agreed. In fact if Emery was hoping for a bigger say in transfers that move probably hurt his cause.No one said he did. Never in football again will people have the power that Wenger and Ferguson had.
That said, what’s being said about players being thrusted on Emery is not true either.
