I know what you mean, there is a part of me that wants to see a certain calibre of player however I think that will come in time. To some degree this is modus operandi for Emery. He's going to bring in some no-frills professionals to get the job done but he also brings through youth and has brought in bigger names too.
This is a notoriously tricky time so while I wasn't initially please with the idea of Delafeou, I have come around. We really lack players who can keep the ball and in general lack attacking options. I think a short to medium term player who can slot in quickly and provide good competition is a good policy for now.
But yes I am dying to see a Rodrigo De Paul or Jonathan David stroll in through the doors of Bodymoor too.
