Moving from Madrid and CL football to Newcastle and maybe Champo football? Huh
Don't understand why people are endlessly talking about signing a RWB.
Its not going to happen, we literally just bought one in August.
A young one who the jury is still very much out on.
The guy has made 15 appearances and is 22 years old, and we paid £30 for him, are we really writing him off already? That seems more than a little premature to me.
RWB is the least of our concerns, we need a world class midfielder in the Eriksen mould who can actually make this team tick, and a backup to Kane which we've been crying out for for years now.

There's been reports from a few reputable sources that Conte wants a RWB to compete with Emerson.
There’s no more important position than wing-back in this Conte system.
Emerson can develop, but right now his absolute inability to provide any quality in the final third is hurting us.
I’ve seen a lot of calls for an “Eriksen type player” over the last week, but where do you expect him to play?
I know a lot of us want 352 but Conte has gone with 343 in the majority of games so far. Where does a creative player like Eriksen fit into that system? Off the right in place of Moura? It’s definitely not as one of the 2 CMs.
If it’s 343 Conte is wedded to, like his Chelsea side, he’ll have 2 functional CMs and looks to the wing-backs to be creators, hence all the current links.
If we’re buying a midfielder I’d expect it to be a Brozovic like one over Eriksen.
9 mil a year and his kids get to live in a country where they speak the language.
Yes you have!
Emerson isn’t good enough with the ball to be a RWB
Simple as that really
I really don’t think Reguillon is either tbh
I know that ITK posts are not popular on this site but anyway I'll be posting 2. And I am posting it mainly to get an opinion about Festy Ebosele by anyone who's been watching him a few times (no, not on youtube).
Rather peculiar that Ali Z doesn't bother checking how to spell Ebosele as I presume he's got internet and Derby wouldn't have more than 1 "fast and dynamic" RB.
Btw, if you search for "Festy Ebosele" on Youtube the first video that comes up has the headline:
"The next Adama Traore? Festy Ebosele - Derby County"
I another ITK post, Tariq Lamptey, Dodô, Joakim Mæhle, Manuel Lazzari and Leeroy Owusu are mentioned...
Mæhleand and Lamptey are the only 2 I'd consider.
(Dodô is 166cm tall - which isn't really the build for an EPL defender...so he would not be on Conte's "wanted list"; and nor would Owusu)
Ali Z on SC:
Heard a whisper about a potential incoming RWB plays in the championship, young, fast and dynamic, is at Derby County but can't remember how to spell name lol.
He went on to confirm that it's Festy Ebosele
Ali Z is 100% full of shit. He's a lying cunt and it has been proven over and over again.
I would like this to be true.
I don’t get why he would choose Newcastle, I can’t believe he doesn’t have other offers. He is still playing for England. Must be a massive salary I guess.
I keep seeing Moses brought up as to why Conte could turn Traore into a world beater. Why is everyone so sure and is Moses still alive? If so, wouldn't it just be easier to go get him!?!?!
(I don't want Moses or Traore FWIW)

Emerson has played 15 games. That simply isn't enough time to judge him one way or the other.
Walker and Rose were not instantly the finished article they took time to develop, Probably even harder for Emerson as he's settling into a totally different footballing culture.
I think he can work on his delivery, he's shown flashes of what he can produce.
The Eriksen type player comes in when we play teams that park a bus like Saints and Watford in recent weeks, we shouldn't need to play both Skipp and PEH for those types of games.
All I'm saying is its far too early to reach that conclusion, and I think Conte is already getting an attacking tune out of Reguilon
Fair enough competition is fine
Why do people think Traore has a better final ball than Emerson? His assist numbers are shocking? Why does anyone think he could handle the defensive duties? He has never done that. He is explosive but could he do 70 minutes (let alone 90) as a Conte wingback? With his build he would be done by half time.
I predict in a month people on here would have given him a stupid nickname and he would be getting the Sissoko treatment.

As soon as I saw it was Isco I switched it off.
Isco. Everyone wants a creative AM - Isco achieves that. And he won’t be expensive given his contract expires in 6 months.
now whether he would do the hard yards under Conte is another question.
