He can fulfill several roles. Really good player.

Is this the guy who speaks 27 languages and English with an accent like he's on Top Boy?

I wondered whether Emery would be watching the Belgium games where they paired up Tielemans and Onana.

Everton fans don't appear to rate him.

That’s because he was playing in a crap team.  If anyone cares to re-watch all Belgiums Euro matches you will understand beter  why he is perfect for us.  Even the game they lost to France he stood out for me as someone who can command and dictate a game

Good move, this.

First bit of business I have genuinely been excited about this summer.

He's prob closer to a box to box/ attacking midfielder. But does the ugly stuff as well.


Emery often played two defensive (or defence minded) CMs at Villareal. So with Doug gone, I wonder if we'll see more of that this season. And the creativity and invention coming from the wide areas.

Pau prob needs a bit more protection to let him do what he does. The back four in general needed more protection, going by our last third of the season and the final goals against tally.

He’s bought into the project and wants to play for Unai.

The ‘wants to play for Unai’ is becoming a regular saying these days.

Most Everton fans are disappointed he’s going and recognize our ambition

Then there are the odd few with gems like this (from the Grand Old Team)

Villa aren't top level and I would argue we could get to where they are in three years.

A sideways'ish move.


In fairness he’s been laughed at by his own lot

Could have been written by a Small Heathen, they are so alike

He’s a destroyer, a creator, he’s tall, he’s mean, he’s exactly what we need. Under Emery he will kick on. Fantastic signing if we can get it done.

We are going to have some ridiculous strength in depth in the middle of the park. We’re definitely building a squad that will be capable of competing on all fronts, and barring some sort of ridiculous injury crisis, we shouldn’t need to field a weakened team at any point.

Bring it on!

In fairness, he’s not wrong

We are where we are because of our owners
Without them I we can’t pay the tax bill and are mortgaging the car parks

We won the lottery with them and Everton didn’t but it could’ve been the other way round
