Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (AKA Monchi)

Rashford through the middle - has that ever really worked? Harnessing Rashford and Watkins (or Malen)  looked good when we actually tried it.

He scored all his goals for us from the CF role when played there.

Fair play to him. https://x.com/laligaandbeyond/status/1944120985906524244

Indeed fair play.

But, and not wishing to be overly myopic, but isn’t this a bit of a key time for the Sporting Director role? And assuming it is, do we have someone/a process to fill that gap.

I'm sure everything is in hand, and no dereliction of duties.

[pauliewalnuts]

Hmmmm. That’s going to go down well.

[DB]

If this is true, he is employed by Villa, oh fair play to him? He has a job to do here at the most important time of his job. I wish I could step away from my job to do something else for a bit.
Although, perhaps he and the club know we are not going to do much this window so he can stay in Spain

Maybe it’s a cunning plan

Apparently, it's at the end of the window...nothing official.

Are you never allowed leave then? 

It is also a weekend or do we expect them to be working 24/7 365 days a year?

Hmm. This don't sound great .

It doesn't, but Monchi seems confident he can help save San Fernando CD.

[cdbearsfan]

Please don't confuse me and VT. 🙁

[VillaTim]

Maybe time to get Ian Storey Moore and Glen Roeder back .

[PaulWinch again]

Pretty poor taste.

So long as the owners and Unai are ok with whats happening then its fine.  I cant think any of them would tolerate anything having a significant impact on his Villa role
