Not gonna cause an issue with Emery at all...
I was working with him the last two weeks. We had two or three meetings together and we are working normally. I don’t know another different issue to him.
When I spoke with him it was all normal. My relationship with him for transfers in the last two or three weeks, we are speaking about that.
We should be in for him, and I hope we are. He should be one of the first new recruits for the new structure we're hopefully going for.

This guy was pretty good for Arsenal, signed players like Guendouzi and Torreira. Would be a great recruit if we can get him.
He was great for Dortmund

Lewandowski as well
Was this pre-United or post-United Shinji?
Pre-United; he scouted him 6 times in Japan and bought him for €350,000...
Guendouzi and Torreira have been decent for half a season, signing them is hardly some amazing accolade yet. He's also overseen the signings of Lichtsteiner, Mkhitaryan, etc.
Lichsteiner was cover for the right back area and Mkhi was part of the Sanchez deal.
He was at Dortmund since 06 as a scout, in 09 became chief and in 16 became Director. In that time he was part of a scout team which got Blazcykowski 2.75m, Subotic 4.5m, Hummels 3.78, Bender 1.35m and as head scout Lewandowski 4.8, Kagawa free, Pizcek free, Gundogan 4.95m, Perisic 4.95m, Reus 16m, Sokratis 8.9, Auba 11.7
Fair point, but tbf there was little he could do with the Mkhi deal since it was a straight swap. He's done great work at Dortmund.
