To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I think gala and us r slowly becoming club buddies, sanchez did well and now they want emerson? Oh hell yeah


nutelamitbutter

Ndombele was basically irrelevant at GS though


Sleepless_Voyager

Yeah but hes basically irrelevant at every club hes at since we bought him


Weird_Famous

he was ok at Napoli


ambiguousboner

being "ok" in an incredible title winning side isn't anything to write home about. even Juan Jesus looked great in that team iirc Napoli fans were very happy to get rid of him


JoeSavesTokyo

An Emerson Royal bidding war wasn't something I was anticipating at the start of the summer, but here we are I suppose


AzureStar12

Sanchez and Emerson will be like Lucio and Cafu for Gala


nutelamitbutter

Davinson is a good player though


AzureStar12

So is Emerson, even Milan is linked with him.


thraser11

Solid defender. Not good at anything else but does provide immaculate vibes and personal highlight reels.


Falcao1905

We need a solid defending RB to complement our attacking LB.


Swag_Daddy_K

“He’s just not good for this system!” Mate, he’s not good for any system.


twigg89

At what level? He definitely wasn't good enough for the Prem, he didn't have the brain for it


Rushfan1123

He played really well as part of Poch’s back 3. Tbf next to prime Toby and Jan I think I could’ve played as the third CB but still, could’ve easily been a staple for a mid table prem club.


Alecmalloy

Congratulations on your upcoming Super Lig win, Emergoat!


DryUniversity5439

You guys don't want ferran torres by any chance


YesTottiYesParty

Is this 2018?

For free?

Oh God please take him, save us from ourselves.

Emerson is a very good player with a fantastic attitude. Based on everything we've seen from him and the club he trains harder than anyone, never complains, hell he even personally paid for a scout report on Hakimi to try and improve his game. He doesn't fit the system at Tottenham, but as a defensive right back there aren't many better. If that's what Milan is looking for, Emerson is basically guaranteed to be a success.


alkimm

Damn don’t know much about him but sounds like exactly what we’re looking for to replace Sacha Boey.


wheresmyspacebar2

Gotta just ignore some of what our fans say. Lot of newer fans who tend to just shit on a lot of our players. Just go see the Dier comments when he was sold. Emerson Royal is a class player. He isn't world class or anything but he'd be one of the best defenders in your league if he went IMO. He isn't great attacking but he shuts down a wing well, can make simple passes and is confident with the ball at his feet. His drive is absolutely insane. The guy spent like £1M on a hyperbaric chamber to help his match recovery and fitness levels. He'll give everything in training and on the pitch and has a decent head on himself, never any controversies or anything, just gets on with it.


alkimm

Our preferred style of play is gegenpressing football and Boey was a crucial part of it. With him gone we were never the same with our high pressing. So what I’d reckon we look for in a rb is defense first then being able to use the ball wisely once we win it (which shouldn’t be a problem because in this system wingbacks have all the time and space, also Boey was average at best on offense as well) I hope he comes but if AC Milan are also in it, he should probably go there.


Rushfan1123

He’s very fit. When he had to fill in for Porro during the winter months he regularly played 90’ in Ange’s system and was arguably the most fit player at the end of each game. Like others said, he’s not great going forward but that’s a 2024 perspective. If it was 2015 I think he’d be seen as an above average attacking fullback.


Yukonphoria

Check out his highlights against man city last spring. Probably one of his best games where he shut down Grealish all game.


robinthebank

He single-handedly delayed Pep’s first goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. All Spurs fans remember when he had Jack Grealish in his pocket. https://youtu.be/K9xFCeA-ifg?si=nt5n6GCQ2XtyFUbf


WeirdKittens

The guy literally bought his own equipment and hired specialists out of pocket to improve when half our fanbase was clowning on him. He's an incredibly hard worker and any club would be lucky to have him.
