Emerson Royal (to AC Milan)

[Finchyid]

gutted to see him go. Such a true pro..have fought hard for him and have the upmost admiration. Will be welcome back here anytime

 

[robotsonic]

Still absolutely shook that an Italian/Spanish club actually paid us verifiable money for a player after 2-3 years of tyre kicking. We sold a player, not on a loan! Forever a Milan fan after this.

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

What a lad.

One of those players i'll always look out for and wish well.

 

[DJS]

Davide Calabria plays right back for them and latest line-up was captain so wonder where Royale will play?

Otherwise switching being back up from one club to another?

 

[philll]

I don't think they've taken to him.

I don't think they've taken to him.

That’s sad to hear. I’d hoped playing at full back in a slower league might have helped him excel.

Hopefully just taking little time to settle.

 

[Dazzazzad]

Jeez he's only been there for 5 minutes.

 

[rabbikeane]

He'll turn it around

I don't think they've taken to him.

I've listened to James Horncastle for a decade and I've never heard him be this crass (he's also not a Milanista), so that makes me question whether or not the quote is real or the context of it.

Edit: Found the quote, it's on his roundup on The Athletic, nothing funny going on here.

He also has stupid hair and cannot be taken seriously

He flopped on his debut for a side that has started the season poorly. If you’re judged based on your debut then on that basis Modric, Bale, Porro, M’bappe (for Real) etc should all have been banished to the abyss. The Italian press needs to do one

 

[GutBucket]

Unless they rely on quality crossing they will love him, eventually.

It's because he has played 92 mins across 2 games and they have conceded 3 goals down his side, where he was either out of position or the winger went past him like he wasn't there.

I'm sure he will get much better though.

 

[GMI]

I don't think they've taken to him.

Wait 'till they see his 'no look pass'. They'll soon change their minds.

 

[C1w8]

I am all for taking him back on loan purely to be on the right side of the "you get, i get" meme for once.

I think we'll stick whilst we're ahead

 

[Romulus]

come on guys... after how he'd performed for us down the years did anyone seriously expect anything different? I certainly didn't

 

[sidford]

The redemption arc has started

 

[ajspurs]

Only caught moments of the second half but he looked really good from what I saw, didn't put a foot wrong and seemed comfortable, always offering himself as an outlet.
