Our Harv.

Emery is getting the Madrid job so the new Billa boss may want Elliott.

 

[Hansern]

I'd surprised if Real goes that route again. Emery has finished top 2 twice in his career. Both times for PSG. Its one of the reasons I cant understand why people think he's good enough to manage us.

 

[Momo]

Which side has he been in charge of that could expect to win the title?

 

[tomasjj]

Is he? He never wanted Harvey.
We did something similar with Kabak.

There are many things you can say. What he said is unnecessary.

 

[Bradley]

Which side has he been in charge of that could expect to win the title?

He doesn't seem the sort to tolerate the behaviour of the divas in Madrid, like Alonso. Can't see it working out well for him either, unless the big cheeses there are putting their footdown.

 

[Momo]

Madrid and sensible decision making? Nah.

 

[mark1975]

It's a poisoned chalice, particularly for slightly lower profile managers like Emery. They pick them because they are easy fodder, until someone they really want becomes available.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Yeah, I'm guessing Monchi had another vision for that signing than Emery. Shame for Harv. Read from a Villa journo that Harvey is exemplary in his behavior. Training hard, polite, great pro and always at the home games even if he isnt in the squad.
People like him deserve much better.

When Harvey was loaned, Monchi had a deal lined up to send Buendia to Leverkusen (I think). But when that fell through, Buendia returned to Villa and had a good start to the year. Writing was on the wall after that.

We saw this movie play out before when Rafa went to Madrid. Tactically brilliant, emotionally a bit cold, struggles to manage egos, out in a flash. And Rafa came from Madrid and knew what he was in for and still didn't last a full season. Knives would be out very quickly.

Emery desperately. Just brought him on 0-1 to 10 man Brentford

 

[rubans]

Emery won't be able to handle Real. He needs to be in complete control and not head coach, it won't be like Seville gig at Real. He failed at PSG and don't see it at Real.

 

[Hansern]

Will hopefully see him play more

Yeah just turn it into an option. Poor lad.
And his value's probably the lowest it's been at the moment. Any normal game time at Villa should hopefully bring it back up a bit which will help us move him on elsewhere in the summer should we choose to. Right now everyone's a loser in this deal.

 

[Buddha]

He’s not played so is bound to be rusty, but he came on against a knackered 10 man Brentford yesterday and looked completely ineffective.

I just don’t think he’s top class and would have been better going to a lesser side or Italy etc.

 

[Hansern]

Emery is a bad egg

[Farkmaster]

Puts a gun in the mouth of his career, and says Liverpool can do this the easy way or the hard way.

 

[The Nomad]

Fuck villa. They are a CL rival right now.

They knew the terms. If they want Harvey to help, play him. The 35m is arguably worth it if they stay in the top 5.

 

[KopRed]

Imagine Harvey is the one scoring the goal to drop us into 6th in the final game of the season and we still have to take him back next season.

We are already in Feb anyway.

Fuck Villa.

 

[Judge Jules]

Dear Senor Emery, have you ever considered the combined benefits of sex and travel?

Fair for him? Fck off Emery you robot. This is why his kind of man management will fail at a big club like PSG or Arsw. Completely absolving himself and Villa on a deal they pushed and signed their side with that response. Best to cancel the deal if it’s technically possible and just play for someone else to rebuild that fitness.

 

[BishBashBosh]

This is Unai, in desperation mode. He knows he is going to need Harvey as an option for more than the total 10 games this season but obviously doesn’t want him long term despite Villa signing off on the player this summer to those terms,

Call their bluff, let them find the solution to a problem they’ve created. As highlighted above why we would help a CL rival is bonkers. Sadly for Harvey he will be caught in the crossfire, but only one of Villlas own making.

 

[Beamrider]

If we fail this season it will all be Liverpool's fault for agreeing to a structure we forced them into because we are financially incontinent.
Get to fuck.
Not just Emery, the admin side too.
It's outrageous the way they've fucked over Harvey, who is totally blameless here. A good pro who just expected them to do right by him.
