He may well take it, but I honestly can't think of a worse fit than the brattiest, whiniest Real Madrid squad in ages (think of the ground that covers).

Can you really see Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior responding to the demanding in his way, putting up with the continuous reinforcement of the system?

Presumably Mbappé did last time he was playing for Emery.

I'm not all that sure he did. The one season they were there together was probably Mbappe's least productive season, going off the numbers at least. Although obviously he was still very young.  Cavani was the standout player for PSG over Emery's two seasons there.

Also I didn't realise that Adrian Rabiot played nearly every game for PSG during Emery's time there.

Considering he's been available on a free twice while Emery's been here, bit of surprise we've not been linked more with him.

Get the impression that if you've spent two years around Adrian Rabiot you might not be interested in a third.

It's just ramontada, isn't it?

Yeah, bit of a nightmare apparently. I know his mom was his agent, not sure if she still is.

I think the critical issue here is that at Villa Unai is being constrained by the financial issues.

Perhaps a journalist could ask him the question directly? He’s an honest bloke.

Emery when asked about the RM speculation: “I have nothing to say about it.”

I think the fact we’re so constrained on spending creates a big risk with keeping Unai.

Is Rabiot the winger who is painfully left-footed ?

Normally plays centre mid but is left footed.

It's okay, but I prefer "Rabbit" and "Ain't No Pleasing You".

Ha, great stuff.

Yes, deserves a statue.
