Monchi has gone right down in my estimation. The situation in central defence is criminal. Like Heck, he is lucky Emery is a genius. Emery is papering over a lot of cracks at the club.

Good at selling kids. Shit at recruitment so far. They've had 6 months to scout and prepare a range of centre backs depending on what situation we find ourselves in. If all he came up with was Bade (who he's scouted and signed before by the way) and Disasi who has been shit at Chelsea then I suggest they work a little harder.

An does Emery do his job for him too? Monchi's job is to provide the players Emery needs.

But snide comments is all you get here.

as soon as Unai goes or things got shitty on the pitch then yeah, I agree with Villa82 - it'll unravel, and Heck, Monchi and the rest will be in for it

Id imagine they’ll all go en masse which is where it gets tricky.

Snide?
You stated Emery is a genius and papering over the cracks. I just happened to state that Emery decided to bring Monchi in, and to work with him for three transfer windows now. It is also Emery's call to get rid if he thinks it isn't working and he hasn't.

So what? Emery isnt his boss. Its like recommending you for a job you do a shit job but it would be my fault. You are the one accountable for doing the shit job. So in this case its  on monchi as for me he has done a poor job in the last two windows. He would have negotiated  the fee of 50m for onana and the fee for maatsen ( i think we over paid for both)

And this window if he fails to bring a center back in again i hold him responsible along with damien vigadamy. They are playing a game of roulette with our season. Sheer madness.

Only thing i blame unai for me is authorising loaning center backs e.g swinkels when we have literally no options to play there at present.

Always seemed like a chancer to me.
Maybe a list of his successful signings and astute bargains would change my mind
As for catweasel I think his time is also up, can we have a defensive coach, please.

This kind of post from a few folk isn't going to age well if Diasi does now sign.
