Calmed down after the match, I am not convinced by Emery but he has been thrown into an horrific situation.
We have a wage cap problem, he has been forced to get rid of Ramsey and ozil imo, I agree with getting rid of ozil if we have a wage problem, whilst he is one of our best players he is on far to much money for what he offers and he is preventing us strengthening elsewhere, he is 30, picking up injuries, he has a questionable attitude, he isn't particularly versatile, he has to go it's that simple.
I see ramsey as more of a mistake I think we should have tried to nail him down on 170k but if he had of signed on he might have taken his foot of the pedal, in recent years he did get a bit to comfortable, ramsey and ozil both could do with a new challenge imo.
Essentially he has had to force ozil out and doesn't want to start ramsey as he is off, we are having to take one step backwards to take two step forwards.
Clearly the club want to get rid of older players with less resale value that have got to comfortable here and replace them with a younger hungrier squad that have more resale value.
As a club that is self sustainable this is the way to go, unfortunately we need to be patience this season is a write off.
Next season is where Emery needs to be judged, with guys like Ramsey, welbeck, litschtiener, cech, hopefully ozil and kos of the books plus the new addidas money we should be able to splash the money.
Next season hopefully we would have brought in an extra 4-5 players that suit whatever he wants to implement and then we can judge him properly.
Am I convinced by Emery? No
We don't need to be though, Emery is a disposable yes man, he is here to take bullets during the transition phase, he is doing a job that the likes of a Conte or allgeri wouldn't be willing to do now.
Of course he will get a chance to prove he is the man, which is only fair considering the mess he inherited, however at worst he is serving a purpose, the next manager will not have to deal with the mess he has.
