Yeah, he's still a bit wet behind the ears...
I don’t want Eze, I know I’m in the minority but I think he’s gash and very overrate. if we sign him I really hope I’m wrong
I only trust Aquaman myself
I thought you'd trust the Oracle of Delphi
You’re in the minority for a reason.
He’s a quality player.
Hopefully this gets done.
First offer for Emerson Royal
Meanwhile, Milan have submitted a first offer to Tottenham for Emerson Royal: there is still a distance between supply and demand, with the next ten days being decisive for the profile that has been identified as the right name for the band. Both on the right and on the left, the 1999 class pleases for its ductility. In the last season he has collected 24 total appearances: his contract with the 'spurs' expires on June 30, 2026.
Sounds ideal to me.
He’s probably full of it, but we aren’t going to work on one deal at a time.
It‘s a contingency. I see the consistency in his posts because both things can be true.
I thought Everton had hit the jackpot signing him.
He's the best presser in our squad. NO ONE wins the ball back as high and as often as him. (As a team we have the best PPDA in the league - the stat used to measure pressing effectiveness).
Some of the other stuff you say might be true, especially around 1v1's but we've found ways for him to beat the oppo and to get to the bye line.
Jonhson brought in as cover found himself thrust into the first 11 much earlier on than was expected, we will see this coming season if that has been of benefit to him with an accelerated learning of what Ange wants.
We are targeting 1v1 dribblers which is exciting and fits closely our biggest requirement in our attacking threat.
One game against Burnley, one of weakest teams in PL and relegated, he got 2 assists for Son who was on fire. Only started 2 matches, the other against Sheffield U another weak team but made no impression. 3 other sub appearances.
For Fulham - only 4 PL starts, subbed on 15 times 4 goals (3 as a sub) ,no assists. 5 appearances in FA Cup 1 goal no assists. Out injured for 4 months.
Based upon his Fulham and Spurs stats. I'd suggest he was our weakest/least effective forward, alongside Bryan Gil, and consequently probably the easiest to significantly upgrade (providing we can offload both Gil and Solomon).
If we can't offload him, I'd hope Ange takes the opportunity to give some of our youngsters game time - we have a lot of left sided attacking players including 16 year old Mikey Moore, Troy Parrott 22 year old CF/LW and 21 year old Santiago (LW) who might all be more productive than Solomon without taking up an overseas trained squad place,
I am now just waiting for Atletico Madrid to make some loan offers with an option to buy for half the market values of Emerson and Højbjerg and keep on turning their heads with empty promises...until they withdraw their bids on the last day of the TW...
Spot on
Thanks.
The other thing I forgot to add is Solomon becomes age 25 later this month so isn't likely to markedly improve - for some reason most fans seem to believe he's youngster rather than a seasoned player
I think he’s a half decent PL player but massive concerns over injury record and don’t see him being an improvement on who played last season. Much rather try yoots than 25 year squad fillers
