Yeah, I don’t believe that at all. All the actually reputable outlets include Emerson on the list of players we are looking to sell.
With a great personality and character. I wish him nothing but good things unless he's playing Spurs. Post Conte in a four he'd be an asset.
Personally, I think people overlook how he played during the run in, and how the team played differently to get around having wingback who can't cross for shit. He passed the ball very effectively from deep, his first time passing by the end of the season was extremely sharp. His positioning allowed the midfielders to break into attack more than they had been, and he defended very well. We conceded 2 goals in our last 6 games with him in the side, incl games vs Liverpool, Woolwich and Leicester. I think he'd be quite useful to have for tough away games, CL games etc, wouldn't be in a rush to get rid of him at all.
To your last point, maybe. But he’s not going to help us in 75% of games and not sure he’d be happy with that as a young player who is looking to develop.
To your first point, yes we accommodated him and his skill set and it was an excellent move by Conte. But an actual competent attacking RWB would help us more than trying to hide Royal when we had the ball, like the last month of the season.
Yep and it funny the perception we have off our own players. I spoke to two separate Mickey Mousers who actually said they never realised how bloody good Emerson was and if you fuse him and TAA he'd be some kind of Super soldier. They raved about his performance against them
If we truly are going up a gear then Emerson is a player we should be improving upon. yes he did get better but he was still the weak link and could not provide the attacking impetus that we need against those teams that parked the bus. it was dropping points in those situations that we really must overcome to step up a notch.
If you merged Oliver Kahn and Ibrahimovic, you’d have a super soldier as well. Just throw him up top if down a goal and back in goal if protecting the lead. Reality is a bit different.
I’ve had my complaints about him, but if Conte wants to keep him, I hope he can have a transformation like Moses.
Seems like a genuinely nice guy who loves us and I think I’d miss his compilations if he left.
That's because fans will only typically watch games of another team against their own. So their opinion is formulated off a tiny sample size, so in most cases is pretty irrelevant.
If we sell Sanchez then Emerson can cover RCB much better than he can cover RWB. Keep him if Sanchez goes, loan him if Sanchez stays
Well I like him and I want to keep him!
RCB would probably be his best position.
I don't approve of logical thinking here.

rcb would probably be his best position in a conte system. hes not good enough on the ball in the final third to be a RWB
Djed Spence: Tottenham and Middlesbrough remain apart in valuation of defender after initial talks
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy leading pursuit of England U21 international Djed Spence; Initial talks were not successful in finding an agreement, with the north London club indicating they believe his worth to be in excess of £10m
we know why this one isn't over the line now, Levy handling it himself. Blimey approx 10m. Even winks is worth more than that
