To be fair Emerson has never been given an extended run in the side. It could actually help him. He hasn't really played much football in almost 3 years since his ACL and some of his weaknesses can be fixed by game time. Things like positioning. H e has all the other attributes to be a decent if not great LB

Great LB but hes looked defensively susprct almost everytime hes been involved here this season? If Alonso played as badly as Emerson did v Derby I would of hated to see the thread on here. Emerson was awful.

If people are here rating alonso above Emerson...it's no wonder we are struggling for top 4 place in the league...definition of everything antithetical to Sarriball yet even the Chimney manager plays despite how shit and terrible he is....

We can't really lose out with an 18 month loan.

Morata will likely leave to make way for him and Giroud will likely leave in the summer when his contract expires, meaning we will sign a new striker regardless of how well Higs does.

If he flops/underwhelmes we will sign a new striker and he will see out his time here as a squad player and if he's a success he will be an excellent safety net just in case the new striker doesn't do well or needs time to settle.

perfect

Better tactically, defensively, technically, aerielly.... Emerson is faster than Alonso and better at taking people on in 1v1s thats about it. Everything else he is inferior. 

Please come up with better opinion.

How can anyone can think Alonso is better technically; Emerson has better touch, dribbling, passing, and crossing. The only thing i would give a nod to Alonso is shooting technique. 

Emerson track record defensively is quite good, he got a reputation as a two way FB at Roma. While on the other hand Alonso is a shit defender and that has been on display for multiple years, Sarri has placed his best attacking player out of position so Willian can cover him.

Thats why I said he needs a run of games, whether here or not. He has the tools to be a good LB. His not played much football in 2/3 years. The defensive awareness can improve with game time, as his confidence grows.

1)between alonso and emerson sarri always choose alonso

2)between alonso and emerson conte always chose alonso (emerson who? cit)

3)emerson was a sub even in roma (kolarov at the age of 250 years was better)

If this is true, we are truly doomed. We don't have enough time to negotiate a deal with another striker unless we overpay for fucking Callum Wilson. 

You assume that we are talking to no one else. Big assumption.

Precisely but folk are under the illusion that hes better than Alonso because they dont like Alonso, who as average as he can be is well ahead of Emerson. Same with every RW in history being better than Willian because they dont like Willian. 

I think all 3 are pure shit. I can think of 20 RWers maybe 30 I rate over Willian. One is on the team already, but is ageing fast.

I don't think Emerson is better, and that really IS damning of him, as Alonso is our worst starter.

We will never again win shit with those 2 (Willian and Alonso) starting, and Emerson is not the answer either.

Chilwell, Firpo, Telles. Pick one, buy one. Sell Emerson, perma bench Alonso, use him like we use Emerson now. I would rather sell both tbh. Shame we don't have a Reece James level young LB to backup Firpo or Chilwell or Telles.

One goal, all comps, since October.

Yep, he will be our saviour. 

Rooney was a poor example btw, as he was never never as fat as Higs has gotten at many times AND even more germane, he was spent and shit when he was same age as Higs is now.

And? He was 27, 28 then, not 32 in middle of next season. This is a desperation mode bad signing unless it is a loan with zero obligation to buy.

We are slowly becoming Evertonian in outlook. Added bonus of now we supposedly are going to buy/swap (Emerson, who is worth triple in market value than the target) for yet another middling Brasilian left back, of course from Juve, the on-loan (to Sassuolo, where he isnt even a full-time starter) Rogerio.

I am at wit's end with the board.

You know owt about Gelsom Martins?

I see that if Morata goes to AM that they will have to shift some players to pay his wages/

One coming up is him?

Ive seen reports saying he is the next Ronaldo. But nowt stands out that I can see.

He is a massive meh. Not thrilled at all to here his name mentioned. ONE goal so far this year. Another right footed RW. He would be a good signing for Everton or West Ham or Leicester or Watford.

The only thing Gelson Martins has in common with CR7 is that they are both Portuguese.

My god we are falling down the ambition table and into a mid-table pit.

Not seen him linked to us mate.

Just I was thinking IF Morats off to AM who could we look at for swaps that THEY would let go, And I saw that Poch was looking at him

We should have tried to swap for Thomas Lemar. Maybe some cash added to grease the gears.

[Pizy 18,952]

If we don't get a Higuain at this point, watching Morata, Giroud, and the false 9 limp through the rest of the season struggling to score will be the death of me. 

For fucks sake, Arsenal appear to be in turmoil and we can end their season essentially if we beat them this weekend. Spuds will be without the striker that utterly carries them for ages and their next best scorer for weeks. This is the perfect time to capitalize on the situation and bringing in a goal scorer.
