Yeah. There seems to be this feeling that Emerson has played his way back into Conte's good graces, yet a lot of media reports suggest that he is fine to leave.
Spence is a weird one as I do not think we'd send him out on loan next season, so reports saying otherwise seem like guess work imo.
But the point is if you don’t make that move, for whatever reason, there’s no guarantee you get offered it again. If next season he has a max aaron’s 1st year in the prem type season, in that he is rated but not worth £30m, he could go down with a relegated Forest quite easily.Max Aarons' problem wasn't staying at promoted Norwich, it was staying at relegated Norwich. His stock was even higher after their first promotion season, even though the team was shit. I could see similar for Spence.
We should just buy Reece James...If Conte rates him highly and he comes in and puts in the work then there’s every chance he could sculpt him into an Hakimi or a Reece James, such is his talent as a coach.
Emerson with a pre season under Conte could prove to be beneficial. He looked like he was getting the hang of it towards the end of the season.I would either keep Emerson and Doherty and sign a quick, attack minded RWB or sell Doherty and sign 2 RWB’s.
People say we only need 2 RWB and 2 LWB but taking into account both the amount of games we’ll have to play and an injury to either or both a R/LWB and we’ll be down to one. They can’t play all the time. It would be sensible to have as a minimum:
2 like for like RWB
2 like for like LWB
1 versatile player who can play both RWB and LWB eg Emerson. He’s also defensively solid
To compete on all fronts we need a squad eg 25 players. With the reported incomings and outgoings they would offset each other and although we would have additional quality we would still be short on numbers.
Agreed with your thoughts on depth. We could sign another lwb and use Perisic as a utility guy and/or if we must keep Emerson, keep Doherty and Emerson and train Emerson up on covering RCB to cover Romero. He’s big enough and has the requisite athletic ability to play there perhaps (particularly if we get rid of Sanchez). We probably can’t get all the depth required of a perennial title contender in one window so getting versatile guys like Perisic will greatly ease that transition.I would either keep Emerson and Doherty and sign a quick, attack minded RWB or sell Doherty and sign 2 RWB’s.

Sounds a breakthrough with 'boro isn't too far away it would seem.Looking positive ?
Let’s see
I’d offer PSG £25m plus Ndombele and Emerson for Hakimi.
Hakimi and Doherty RWB
Perisic and Sessegnon LWB
Sorted.
This. Even if he's not happy there, PSG don't need the money and don't need to sell unfortunately.PSG don't want to sell Hakimi
Please stop shifting Perisic to another position before he is even announced. We bought a world class LWB and want to shoehorn him in somewhere else already, dont get it...A lot of posters here are sceptical if this guy is good enough for us but I've seen a lot positivity about Raum. Could Perisic be used on the right and Raum for left wb?
Looks like it might happen though, lets hope Conte is right about him if we do get him.
Liverpool's back-up options at RB this season were Joe Gomez and James Milner.Really!? I think we should be aiming for players who would get on to - say - Man City or Liverpool's bench. I would say that position also needs pace and more technical ability.
It does seem odd that we this seems to be the only RWB we have been linked with. I know Doc and Royal played better in the last few games, but i still think its the area we need to improve most of all.
Yea class from Warnock there tbh. Seems like he's mellowing in retirement. He F and Blinded a lot in his younger days but he's definitely got a hell of a lot of experience to pass on to younger players like Spence etc, sounds like Warnocks comments motivated Spence and put him on the right track so a bit of tough love worked in this case, but class response from Warnock.Great response
I may be wrong but has Sess ever played in the championship?I am a bit sceptical due to Sess and Aarons ripping it up in that league and do not look too special in the PL.
Yep, 2 seasons. Scored 15 goals in his last season in the Championship.I may be wrong but has Sess ever played in the championship?
