I mean I watched every game and don’t recall him ever playing as any sort of inverted full back. He’s better deep, because he has no technical ability to impact the game in the final 3rd.
Regardless, even if they were his best games, he just isn’t good enough for a top club.
This argument gives me flashbacks to last summer where Dier was good in a CB3 because he had a purple patch and we needed a LCB instead.
Dier is very very limited, so is Emerson. It absolutely cannot be our plan to play this guy as a starting RB next season, and to refer back to the original post I quoted - the prospect of him being “one of our best players” will only happen if we’re mid-table.
He played as a more inverted full back (as opposed to running down the wing and overlapping) against both West Ham and Chelsea.
I'd much rather go into the season with Emerson at full back than Porro.
Yeah, No, Defntely.Wouldn't that have required Harry's brother to be able to read?
FTFY
Haha, I'd forgotten how his head looks like its been permanently Photoshopped onto another bodyYeah, No, Defntely.
Nope.
I donate loads of goods and clothes to charity but not cash.
Yeek no wonder Palace don't want to offer him a new contract.
exactly. Also more post football gigs for the record scorer
He's more than okay defensively, he's improved his 1on1 defending massively - if you remember he completely shut down Grealish.
I don't think his technical ability is that bad, it's his decision making and crossing which has a lot to be desired, I agree that moving in in field isn't idea but he's a far better player when he doesn't have to play in those forward areas.
Porro is just a purely wing back, even as a full back his 1 on 1 defending is poor and his positioning needs work, he may have the technical ability to play in field but he does his best work on the wing and in the final 3rd.
I thought Midget wasn’t the politically correct term anymore?
As the receiver, I’d take either over chew
if he stays there's probably a route into that and an ambassador role waiting. He could conceivably have a stable 20 years ahead with us. Being a father there is a high possibility development of youth appeals to him.
Decent salary, life after playing, all near your home... what's not to like?
Newcastle had a choice - Tonali or push for Maddison who had already expressed a preference for Spurs and London rather than Newcastle.
Newcastle are NOT the richest club in the world - far from it. Based upon last year's figures their turnover is about 1/3rd of Spurs turnover. And their first CL football in about 20 years - or actually first european football in that time - so maybe Maddison and advisors don't believe Newcastle will outperform Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea and maybe others to maintain a CL spot ? Book makers will almost certainly agree.
One of their joint owners is very rich, the other (Staverly) may be declared bankrupt shortly, or may need to do some deals to avoid it.
