I don’t think he’s shown much with us, a few flashes of promise. His tenacity and trying to play on the front foot endear him but, more often than not, he lacks consistent quality.

I like Emi, but he’s not at the level we need I don’t think.

Agree when he's good though he is very good but too many games he loses possession etc in key transisitions . But he does have some things in his locker the others don't.

Pre injury I think Emery was planning on building a lot around him at 10. He's never got back the spark fully or been able to get up to speed since, so a move to Farke who got the best from him would look ideal.

But if the cash means we can get a decent striker in, why not? Let's face it, we missed out on CL because we didn't score enough.

Agreed. During that pre-season he looked excellent and benefitting from time on the training ground with Emery but never came close to those levels post-injury. He’s had a good loan though, good for him, good for us.

Only sell to Leeds if they're offering proper money. Our pre-agreement with Leverkusen was 20million EUR and even though his stint was middling to fair and they haven't decided to keep him, we should be standing firm on our valuation, and let go for minimum of £15m.

Any player in the squad of the world champions should have significant value, whether it be Emi or Enzo.

He didn’t pull up any trees at Leverkusen. 11 games, scoring 2 goals. I’d snatch their hands off for anything north of £10mill, with add ons obvs.

I disagree, I think he's been marked for the chop from day one, Emery would've used Coutinho if he'd been fit and had tried to sign Felix and Asensio from the off, and Diaby came and went.

He doesn't have the pace to play at the level we're at & constantly picks the wrong or misplaced pass. There's some things he does well & the injury finished any chance he had. He'll always be just below the level we need.

Would be a good signing for a bottom 6 team. Anything over £15m would be a bonus.

  Although that 11 games consisted of 252 minutes so less then three whole matches. A goal every 113 mins isn't bad and probably would have been 3 goals if Boniface didn't steal the ball of his toe the one time.
