The problem is compared to Emerson Royale and Pedro Porro is that he is a project fullback. The other problem he has we have over 30 players and we desperately need to trim players. The fact is if Conte actually used him properly and got him involved and we did not sign Porro there is no way he would be on his way out.

Yeah, and what do you think the club will spend that money on....there's more than a good chance that it'll be on guys no better than those we just placed on the transfer list...
But he has pretty good pace, which is high on Postecoglou list...
He did? Can't say I noticed him.........
I must have glazed over in the 2nd half.... Barely a contest.
i dont know, i dont see the Logic their outside of trying to pin it all on the Evil Conte. He's young, he's english, if he impressed Angie who gave everyone a fresh start why would the club be looking to sell him? they'd loan him out at worse.
Where as your hope gone? It can't have disappeared that fast.
My hope is that we get Kane to stay....keeping proven talent instead of throwing the dice with the money...
Emerson isn't particularly quick......
Emerson / Udogie
Porro / Davies
As much as I'm not a fan of wonky-ball; this actually makes sense.
In that case defensive ability trumps running around like a headless chicken at the back...
Hugo Lloris, Tanguy Ndombele, Joe Rodon and Djed Spence, who were all left out of the squad to face Shakhtar, are on the transfer list, while Davinson Sanchez and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are among those who could leave for the right price.
We must get some decent fees for them surely? Hopefully their transfers have been in the works for a while.

Emerson is absolutely quick.
And he's seems perfect for that inverted fullback lark...
We have more important areas to fill.
Can’t imagine he’d be cheap and we all know where in the squad we need to spend the money!
To have any chance of him staying we probably have to make the CL and show him that we are a team capable of winning trophies, back to square one it's a lot to expect in Ange's first season.
Emerson’s most underrated skill is that he builds chemistry with those around him. Great at 1-2’s and rotating positions.
That’s why Kulu plays better with him and also why he’s so good in that inverted malarkey.
In basketball they are called glue guys.
Yesterday showed the opposite. Yesterday showed that any decent forward will scored goals in this system. Richy yesterday scores at least a brace: the pen and the spill from Solomon's shot.
Can't say I've noticed....... Never had that winger pace when on the ball as a WB and not the 'recovery run' type.
Great athletically though.
But does Richy score a double brace? Agree that No9s get lots of chances in Ange’s system but Kane will put more of them in the back of the net than Richy.
I fear we are going to leak a fair number of goals this season as our defenders learn to play a high line - so we’ll need all the goals we can get.
Gonna hope for an Ange miracle - many many 5-4 and 4-3 type victories - contend for the EPL title and a win a Cup. Kane signs an extension.
Is it likely - I suppose not - but what the hell let’s keep Kane and go for broke. Levy probably wouldn’t spend any Kane transfer money well anyway …
