Exactly.The whole point of the pointless Saudi League is to fleece them for as much oily blood money as possible. You can forget £20m, start negotiating when they mention £50m. Emerson is a Swiss-army knife of a player and we need him with the way we pick up injuries and suspensions.

We need to sell when we can get some decent money and invest in players that can improve our bench.
He’s a better defender than Porro. And been excellent whenever called on. The manager has already said he loves him. Who are we upgrading him with?
I changed "hate" to "despise" and this is more than just a spelling mistake, it's this new grammar mistake that I've seen everywhere.Last edited 4 minutes ago
I'd rather poor grammar than these snobbish type comments.
I don't know, which is not an issue as I'm not a scout. But it's clear he cannot play the Porro or udogie role well and he is very limited as a CB. Works as a last resort but we surely can find better.Name an improvement on Emerson that's happy sitting on the bench.
I'll wait.
I know some people are very anti-Royal, but I think he’s shown his versatility this season in being able to play RB/LB and even CB in a pinch. Also he’s a brilliant dressing room presence.
A player of his standard that is somewhat ok with being a squad player is very hard to come by, so I would be hard pressed to sell him unless it’s well above his market value.
Who?It doesn’t really matter that he’s a better defender than Porro. Porro is better at the specific role that he’s been tasked with, hence why he’s the nailed down starter regardless of the opposition.
That role is totally unique - Guardiola described Ange’s use of fullbacks as “something I’ve never seen before” and said they’re more like “attacking midfielders”. Does that sound like Emerson to you?
Regarding upgrades, before the Forest game Ange was asked whether he’s ever had any defenders as good at passing and play making as Porro is - he name checked Greg Taylor, Anthony Ralston, Alistair Johnson and Ken Matsubara as hugely influential and key to the way he plays. Point being, there’s a plethora of players out there we’ve never even heard of before that would be a better fit than Royal in his system.

Yeah, two of which were penalties, neither of which he gave away. Ridiculous example.He's a nice guy but even though he's proven to be reliable, he didn't impress at all. We conceded 4 goals against Brighton when he was playing centrally.
I agree reading something with the incorrect use of his/he is, or their / they're etc is annoying, do you really think it's better to tell them, then let it continue..I changed "hate" to "despise" and this is more than just a spelling mistake, it's this new grammar mistake that I've seen everywhere.
it's better to tell them then let it continue
