I would pay for his flight to Sevilla if he would come back.

Doesnāt like anyone has much impact playing as a lone forward in JLoās squad.
No way man. Not the way he ditched us and not when Emery and Valverde are available.

A dude that wins that many trophies for a team can come back any time imo.

I kinda agree here. I do like Emery, but for a return im not convinced. In one way its idiotic, that Monchi works with Lope who gets to impact our transfers for 100 millions of euros and then kick his ass and leave Emery to work with the scrap metal pieces that his precessor left. I think we put too much trust into Lope in the first place. Although the players can be sold with minimal loss and maintain more or less there value. Just as Dabbur and Cicharito. Guess thinking about it again, im down for another Emery Project! And play some football again most importantly
What I like about Emery is his presence on every minute of the match. I like the way he shouts his players by the line in almost every position. His teams used to fight to the last minute. Just like Fatih Terimās Galatasaray who won the UEFA Cup in 2000. However, that team lost its menace quickly and Galatasaray seized to shine. They recalled Fatih Terim two or three times and yet neither term really helped. They never got through play-off stage in ECL since.
Iām gonna say no to Valverde, sure he won the league with Barca but he was always relying on Messi and Suarez to come with moments of genius, he also managed to royally fk up two large leads in the Champions League, the Barca players also complained about his lack of tactics and general lack of urgency in training sessions.
Emery is up in the air for me, he too ditched us when PSG came knocking only to be overwhelmed and head for Arsenal where he was also put in a pretty weak shift and getting sacked, part of his failure when managing in England was his inability or unwillingness to learn English but having him prancing and shouting on the touchline is better than Lopetegui who looks constantly constipated.
If weāre looking at old flames, would Marcelino be considered? His solitary season with us was pretty bland but he made Valencia dangerous and almost capable of challenging for Europe again.

Marcelino is on pretty bad terms with Monchi, that combo is ruled out for sure. Read an article lately about how transfer wise they were always on different wavelengths.
Marcelino asking certain profile players, and Monchi and him could never agree apparently.
Ahh crap, at least that was worth the thought. If the article is in English, could you share a link? 
Also is Juande still around, he and Monchi brought the club to prominence in the first place.
In other news, Carrico is almost certainly leaving the club for the Chinese Super League once his contract expires, no idea why he would risk his life with the new corona virus rampant. It also leaves the club very thin at the back with only Gomez, Kounde and Carlos. Iām 70% certain Carlos is going to leave after this season so that gives us a young cb and one who is more comfortable passing than defending, Monchi already has his work cut out for him.
I gues in this way, Monchi takes the blame for it. Not sure if that brings hope tho.

I mean itās like Carrico has already left. Heās always hurt! Anyway, Monchi has been pretty good at finding good CBs. We also have Kajer coming back (hopefully not) and Gnagnon the later of which has gotten decent minutes this year.
I know a hefty bag awaits him in China, but Wuhan of all places? Itās poor timing as weāre losing our way defensively as well. But i canāt blame a man for getting his.
I like smaller squads bc it alienates less players. But weāll have 3 CBs, including 1 whoās covering RB. Unless Gudelj features more as a defender, I guess weāll promote from the B-team? Genaro was OK away to APOEL, but he didnāt look ready.

We still have Carrico until end of season right? Assuming he ever recovers well enough to play.
How much say does the manager actually have in transfers. Does monchi buy who he wants and the manager has to work with it.
I feel like it varies per club. There is the whole scouting network with Monchi at the end. And I think in accordance with the current Trainer, who says I need a player with traits as this, that and that. And then Monchi delivers but if the trainer has a player in mind, im pretty sure they will talk about it. Think it works from both ways.
Except for some clubs, where a manager can just demand, I want Eriksen. You bring him in. Period.

I reckon so, Carrico was pretty smashed up in the past two seasons but was a starter for Lope and played decently, anchoring the backline. He is Sevillaās most solid defender and most experienced member of the squad excluding Navas, having been here since 2013. Didnāt really want him to go as Kjaer is probably a dead horse and Gnangnon isnāt really lighting up Ligue 1.
As Enrico says I think it works both ways. I remember Emery really pushing for Llorente in his last season here despite everyone on the planet and their dog not seeing how the club and player would benefit from each other. Monchi didnāt have Llorente in his plans either but on Emeryās insistence he managed to talk a buyout with Juventus. Llorente then became a round peg in a square hole that season, with a mammoth 7 goals in 36 appearances to show for it.
Oh and speaking of Emery
Sevilla: Emery emerges as favourite to succeed Lopetegui
Same as with any other job, - you either know what you want (at least somewhat) and go through a recruitment process to see who fits best, or you just have someone in mind who you think will do the best job at that role.
I would be ok with Emery coming back - only with the hope that the 2015-16 away drought doesnāt happen again.

Carlos Fernandez with another last minute goal for Granada to win the match for them vs. Valladolid at home.
Can we simply change the loan deal by swapping him with De Jong or Munir?
