Emerson was pretty impressive before his injury, if he can get fit like Rudiger might be worth a punt.

Let's not forget that Rudiger had a similar injury too, now he's one of our best players. People often forget how advanced treatment and rehab for these type of injuries is in this sport, especially at the highest level. I'm all for it if the player wants to come and Roma are willing to let him go for a reasonable fee. We desperately need competition and back up for Alonso at LWB as he's having to play pretty much every game for us at the moment. 

azpilicueta had one too iirc

Another player with injury.

At least we're linked to an actual LB that isn't Sandro, guess that's progress. But going for injured players is becoming a nasty habit, suspect it has a lot to do with knocking down price for crocks.

BBC sport reported it now it must be true

Actually the loan with option to buy makes a lot of sense. We shouldn't be throwing out 25m for a player who just came back from a terrible injury, and we certainly don't wanna be paying that much for a - possibly - stop gap option. 

If he becomes an instant success, great. If he doesn't, we can pursue other targets in the summer. Sadly it makes too much sense for me to believe the board will able to pull it off.

If it's loan, I can live with that. Not easily, but I can.

It looks like the club is by now willing to buy anything that has 2 legs that comes in 25-30 million

Decent point but christ! We are a big club (supposedly) and we are going around wanting to sign players on loan.

What's the point of signing Palmieri on loan? I get that he got the ACL injury and there may be option to buy but what if he struggles during the loan? Will he adapt fast enough? What if he turns out to be even more useless than Zappacosta? Then we have practically wasted a place in the team and will continue to run Alonso to the ground. We might as well just use someone from the academy or even Baba Rahman until the end of the season and then look for a top class option in the summer.
