Sancho and Elliott should leave in Jan if possible - they're offering little and I doubt it would have taken Olabe very long to work that out

Sancho (to a lesser degree), Elliott and Ramsey have all changed clubs and increased their salaries for doing very little compared to what they were doing when earning less a few months ago. Just swap them back to where they were. We'd all be happier.

Modern football, don't you just love it...

Unai Emery: “We all want the same thing at Aston Villa, but we need specialists. My specialty is not recruitment. I’ve always wanted to focus on the pitch, on the grass, on preparing what happens from the offices onto the field. Since I started working with Roberto (Olabe) 20 years ago at Almería, I’ve had great professional & personal respect for him. I need people who contribute in all areas so we can keep growing.”
 
Emery: “I’m ultimately responsible, but we share that responsibility. But I insist — my place has always been on the pitch. Outside of that, whatever Roberto says, I follow him completely.”

I wonder if the same applied in respect of Monchi.  Would certainly explain some of the more iffy signings of late.
