Alejandro Garnacho - loan deal agreed

Is Guessand off the books?

I trust Unai to get this right.  Your meant to be a dick at 22.

I also think the culture at the club will set him straight.  The expectations are very high and excuses are rarely used. 

Hell sink or swim - but I can think of a lot worse things than buying Unai players he wants.

Plus the fact Unai will give him lessons on how to put a baseball cap on straight..

Yep, cold turkey is on the wagon.

Looks like Emery is going for pace. 
I like it.

At the same age Rogers had scored 3 top flight goals.

Was going to say, he's just turned 22 this month ... Rogers turned 22 at the end of the season we signed him.  Not a huge difference, and Rogers had way less experience even if you include his ~4 months with us.

I've a good feeling about this one.

[PaulWinch again]

It takes a lot of audacity to say that the rest of football can see what one of the most successful and highly-respected coaches in the world can't.

Might be a bit like Villa had their pants pulled down for Rogers.

Who knows he might be right, but as you say Unai is pretty experienced and successful - if someone is going to unlock his potential it’s probably him.

Some thought Tielemans was a big risk, some thought Elliott was going to be a great signing. Unai works his magic on some, others are binned off to Palace after 6 months.  It's all guesswork how a signing will go.

Indeed, there’s nothing definitive on it either way.

Unai finally gets his man. Posted last summer we were in for him - unais been obsessed, a bit like the Felix pursuit as well.

Personally not a fan, but who am I to question the king Unai. If he feels he can be the one to unlock him then fair. He’s got stacks of ability so let’s see

Totally agree PWS. I thought both. Youri bad attitude 18 months prior to joining.
Elliot model pro who was going to blossom at Villa.

On balance Unai has got far more right than wrong

[Goldenballs]

Now it looks likely, I'm going to flip 180 and say he's going to brilliant. But reserve the right to flip back and claim I was right if he's a sulky, selfish, disruptive bell.

That’s a good reminder - it’s a smarter bet than Felix

Unai loves a challenge.

Unai loves a challenge.

Her's a rare one, make no mistake.
