We've been patient for the past ten years.
The joy now is looking forward to every game, knowing we have a chance to win. We had that in the Championship, but this, this is fabulous.
Not sure where Guenduzi would play (as Kamara / Luiz looks as good as anything in the league) but we do need to push J.Ramsey to get even better and replace Bailey with someone who really is world class
The next step up - keep our manager.Do whatever it takes to keep the vultures away in this current managerial roundabout frenzy.The rest will fall into place.

If Emery can work on coachingArcherA.RamseyTim IThen the need to spend on squad fillers will be greatly reduced.

The only thing I do not know about yet with Emery is how he does bringing players through the academy. These are the three I mentioned to my son as players I think ought to have the opportunity to come through and that, ultimately, we need to have a successful academy to achieve sustained success... unless and until we become so successful that the world's stars are throwing themselves at us for the opportunity to play regularly at Villa Park (and, even then, I still want a good academy and to bring players through!).Has anyone examined Unai's past clubs with his youth policy in view?
