I appreciate the difference between looking good in the lower leagues but giving Archer, Finn Azaz, Philogene a length of time with the first team, would they have been any worse than Guessand, Sancho etc?

Probably.

Must be a bit shit for his kids. Sure Rome is almost as nice as Brum but they would have made pals from Sutton Coldfield and Solihull whom they'll never see again.
The Vatican is also an appeal.

Emery on Malen: “Obviously it’s a decision not easy. Tough decision, but making sense. The player was being important, helping us, scoring goals, not being consistent in the starting eleven but being very important. He knew it and I spoke about

Emery: "He was happy and was being a protagonist but not enough like he wanted. Players always have the possibility to change and he opened his door to leaving in case there was some team that can give him something better than us."

Surely there is the " and it means we can bring in a player more suitable to how we are playing at the moment"

All seems fair enough, he was important to us, but not £150k a week important.

Philogene and Archer didn’t do much with us or the clubs they joined at PL level. I’m no fan of Guessand but I don’t think it helps that he’s been asked to play out wide a lot of the time. I’d like to see if gets a chance coming on as a forward. But really I don’t think he’s suited for the PL.

He's not suited for the Prem is a very generous way of putting it.
