Player Watch: Emerson Royal

[wishkah]

After some long technical analysis, using the latest technologies I have come to the following conclusion.

Can't be as shit as Doherty defensively
Can't be as shit as Doherty offensively
Hasn't declared his love for Arsenal on twitter.

Sounds like an improvement

 

[Filips]

What's the mistake meant to be?

Aurier apparently has better stats, in the post above. It was a joke, Aurier isn't bad, he's just a liability defending in the box

 

[arunspurs]

This is a quite satisfying read...

 

[Roberts84]

Really like Tanganga at RB so hope we sell Aurier and Doherty

I just watched yesterday’s game again and our FBs took it in turns to push high up with Skipp covering. Tanganga was poor in the oppositions half. However, he’s a proper defender who likes to defend and we saw against city he was awesome defending 1v1 and that game suited him - simple old fashioned defending to win your personal battle. I know he has pace and power but pushing up not being one of his strengths, maybe this is why we haven’t signed Tomiyasu who seems to be a functional and defensive FB and instead we are looking for an attacking FB in Emerson. This would give us the options to play different systems.

On Royal and Tottenham: clubs have already hit it off. 25+5M (yesterday we said that Barcelona wanted 30M).

Arsenal tried to cross by offering Bellerin, who was refused in exchange.

Royal contract runs until 2026 once signed.

Bit of back scratching. Possibly why they’re happy to let us take this guy? Makes me wonder if we were ever in for Moriba.

Im not so sure, the author is a bit of a Cheeky **** ............

If this deal goes through, Arsenal being fucked over just makes it the sweeter

Meh, we're co-linked to deals almost every time there's a deal these days. Presume it's a clickbait thing rather than a joint scouting team. ?

Didn’t even see that!

 

[Cornpattbuck]

He reminds me of a Sissoko and Serge mix....... ??

Speaking of scouting... ?

I suppose what I possibly meant to say was that he looks extremely athletic, slightly ungainly and charges into a tackle (but that was based on about one minute of YouTube after a drop or three of wine...) ??‍

Anyway, welcome, Emerson! ?

"And, you know what they call an Emerson with Cheese in Paris?"

 

[matrixity]

I've seen Emerson play all season in La Liga and he is a VERY good right back. Fast, strong, is dangerous attacking but very good defending also. For less than 30m€ i think its a great deal if it goes through. Barcelona wouldn't be selling him if it wasn't for their terrible economic situation.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Plenty on here told us Doherty was the second coming of Cafu.

He is the second coming of the celebrity match version of Cafu.

 

[jonnyp]

Why are people saying he’s not good going forward?

He’s excellent going forward!!

He is brilliant going forward and very solid defensively.

Watch out for Emerson Royal's departure from Barcelona to Tottenham.

At this time of the morning there are problems because the player's father, like this morning, is still talking with another agent to carry out the operation.

They are driving Paratici crazy.

A family member complicating our transfer dealings?

 

[etchedchaos]

Wait, his Dad is trying to get the deal done but is wanting to use another Agent for it? Man, we really know how to pick 'em, I think we've had every sort of Father to Agent trickery going.

Mundo Deportivo are also reporting the same thing

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Emerson having medical in the morning apparently.

 

[rossdapep]

If this is completed I think Hitchen deserves some credit. We were clearly following him last year and I don't imagine it was Jose.

The credit will certainly go to Paratici but I think this may be a Hitchen call.

I love the way it's a fresh transfer and they put him in an old shirt. It's just so poor.
