Second time that we have a Brazilian who represents another nation, as well (Costa)

I’ve always wanted Mane I think he would really shine in our team. I’ll settle for this guy though

You’re comparing Mane to Emerson?  Mane plays CF/winger, Emerson is a left back.

 

[Scott Harris]

Well, with Kenedy going to Newcastle, you would think Palmieri will be brought in pretty soon........but we have been here before

Who is Emerson Palmieri?

Little article on sky sports news about him.

Luis has said he couldnt settle in England and wanted to leave to return to Madrid, nothing to do with playing him or not.

You're just being an arse, muddying the waters of a perfectly good whinge with facts!

 

[RMCM]

I'm excited about the prospect of this guy, looks quick and tricky for a defender, and young enough to grow a lot with us. Hoping this goes through

it will be too much for alonso i think...

playing tonight weekend and midweek..poor lad need some rest in the fa cup!!

I'm sure 9 league starts really helped the situation, Luis himself said he wasn't use to fighting for his place in the team and wanted to play over 50 games a season. Tells me games was apart of it.

Any news on this signing? Because we clearly need a LWB to give Alonso some rest (he was dreadful last night against the l'arses). I'd say this signing is more important than the Dzeko one, yesterday showed again that William, Hazard, Pedro works (until William had to be substituted).

Concerning that we're again signing someone returning from injury, how long before they're match fit?

Barkley, Bakayoko and Morata all signed this season and unable to play immediately due to injury. All well and good signing players but they're no use to you in the immediate if they're not fit enough to play. 

 

[dansubrosa]

Emerson is pretty much the best we could have signed after Alex Sandro and that’s pretty good imo. 

Tbh with you I’m surprised this isn’t confirmed by now.

Morata played in both the Community Shield and the opener against Burnley, so it wasn’t an “unable to play immediately” situation there, but I get your point.  We also knew we wouldn’t have Hazard with his ankle injury, so you would think we would’ve signed players who could contribute immediately.  Maybe just a business decision by us, the board thinking “how can we get decent players for much cheaper?  Buy the ones who are injured.”
