Not a player but rumour has it that Emenalo will be replaced by Walter Sabatini. Conte's pushing for it to happen.

I can't see Emenalo leaving, more to a new role.

 

Can't see Emenalo leaving the club, seems to be the Golden Boy of our backroom these days. But can see him being moved higher up the hierarchy though.

Don't know an awful amount about Sabatini but spoken to a Roma fan friend of mine who spoke highly of him. And obviously the Italian connection with Conte would show he's someone he respects and is happy to work with. Would give Conte a lot of confidence in his own position to know he can bring his own man in to which would be good in my opinion too.
