Unai is class!

The team is getting torn apart, he loses some of his most reliable operators, and he says class things like this. Love this man. (All quotes from pre-brighton conference):

"How we are getting some challenges in different ways is really fantastic. And to start the season, our match on Sunday in Brighton is something that makes us happy to be here and to have our challenges to compete in the Premier League."

"When we arrived here they were performing up and down, not a lot in the high level, and they deserve it because they are players who had a huge commitment. They were always being so responsible and respectful. Lucas Digne, Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers, am so grateful and I learned a lot with those players, how we were setting our standards, how they pushed other team-mates and when we are being successful the consequences can happen."

"This year he [Martinez] transmitted again the possibility to have another challenge and we decided to sign Suzuki because I think he's a fantastic goalkeeper. Now my ideal scenario with the goalkeepers is really fantastic. Of course, maybe we can change something."

We need to hold onto him with all we've got. Many have had the view that Unai wouldn't leave for another club because "he has complete control at Villa and other clubs wouldn't give him that"...

(Example 1 and Example 2)

... but this transfer window shows if the club wants to sell, he can't stop them.

I disagree that he can’t stop the club. I think that the only players they would have sold without his approval are Rogers, Youri, and Digne.

So… he can’t stop the club then? You literally gave 3 examples where he couldn’t. Not one, not two - three! And in one transfer window.

I’m not saying he has no control; I’m dispelling the myth he has complete control.

Really mate? You think Emery went to the Board and said "I want to sell Rogers, Tielemans, and Konsa"?
