24hrs to go. Still absolutely calm about the situation. Happy to totally back Emery’s judgement. I’m sure if the right player was available, we’d have added more than 2 players this window. A thread. #avfc
Couple of musings - Emery has spoken a lot about confidence and mentality. Having a smaller group and showing confidence in the group that remains may be psychologically the direction he wants initially. #avfc
He has also spoken about a “family”. Again getting rid of those that are not going to be part of the family may be part of his thinking to have a tight close knit group #avfc
#avfc having that close knit group may be beneficial to bringing on some of the youngsters and giving them chances to shine and not just to make up the numbers initially.
#avfc he also may only want players who genuinely care for the project not whose agent is touting them for the highest price around to any tabloid hack that will listen. Culture and family will be important to what he builds.
I still have little doubt he would have wanted 2 players more but I think he is prepared to bide his time for the right players in the wider context of creating that close family culture and atmosphere at the club.#avfc
