Given our current injuries and outgoing loan players you wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench tonight. 

Although I think we missed the deadline for registering players for today's match? 

 

I am hopefully yet cynical about this one.

You are right, I actually meant league 2. My bad.

I'm guessing you are kidding around. Let's be honest, if he was indeed the future greatest LWB, he wouldn't be joining Chelsea. 

Why not?

Because the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, FC Bayern and Manchester City, and maybe Manchester United would be all over him. Plus, the price for the next legendary WB wouldn't be under 20 million.

Real Madrid have Theo Hernandez and Marcelo as Lb´s, Barcelona have Jordi Alba, City spent a sh*t ton of money on Mendy and Delph has been good as a Lb so they dont need him.

Bayern have Alaba and Bernat, dont need him, and United have Luke shaw who has been good for them recently, so they are probably waiting to see if they will need reinforcments there or not.

Roma have problems with FFP and they desperately needed to sell someone, hence the low price. Also, feel free to check out any Roma forum or the replies to their announcement on twitter, to see how pissed they are with Emerson´s sale.

Oh, and last, but not least, he was Juventus´s first choice to replace Alex Sandro should he leave, so he is clearly a highly rated prospect by everyone who have watched him, AKA not you.

You guys related? Seria A is like watching paint dry. Dont need to go on Roma forums, I can get all my Italian news from you. It's like watching gazette football Italia all over again.Gooooaaaaallllllllll Lazzzzzzzziiioooooooooo 

Alba, Shaw, Delph, Bernat, Alaba, Hernandez wouldn't matter one bit, maybe even the starters at those clubs if Emerson was the best thing since slice bread.

Oh boy, not gonna waste my energy

Can definitely accelerate faster than Alonso can, while being pretty energetic and consistent. He definitely wasn't phenomenal for Roma but he did enough to avoid much criticism. 

Apparently he's more conservative going forward than Alonso - his dribbling is probably better than Alonso's but he lacks the vision to perform extravagant crosses like Alonso can and he also doesn't really shoot on goal much from what I've seen. Instead he goes for relatively safe passes. 

Glad to have reasonably capable cover at LWB, plus he probably has higher upside than Alonso does.

Best thing you've said so far.

Check a video from YouTube of him. He reminds me of Bakayoko. Same kind of lazy-looking step.

Hope he is as good as touted.

Don't know much about him, but it's a relief that we got this one over the line. Apparently he had one stand out season where he performed brilliantly, hope that form continues here. 

Thought he could take part against West Brom. Still waiting for him to show what he got.

More than likely play on Friday. 

Touch of Gareth Bale about his powerful running.

It was against a very poor and weakened Hull side but he showed flashes of promise 

I was a bit underwhelmed with him but then it's his first outing with a new team in a new league.  Several good moments but he seemed a bit uninvolved.

On the other hand with the Willian/Fab/Giroud show going on down the middle we didn't use our flanks much - at several points in the match I had forgotten Zappa was playing.

Was impressed by him. Like to see a bit of pace down the side. Certainly think he has what it takes to become number 1 by the end of the season.

Decent start. Would have liked to see more of him going forward, seemed mostly happy to pass it sideways/backwards, but got forward on a few occasions. Suppose you can't expect too much in a first game back after a long injury. Would just be nice if we signed players who were actually fit for a change.

I had this for both of them in the second half. Being in the shed I didn’t see much of them 

Time to give him a chance

Is he still alive, same question could be asked for Barkley. I say it's time to throw the fringe players in, and try something different.

Seria A looks like League One. Just walking through players. Wouldn't happen in the EPL that. Reminds me of Kenedy, but with better feet.

You are aware the player in your avatar came from the Serie A?

Absolutely. Well let's hope he ends up as good as Marcos.

As did Rudiger, arguably our best signing from the summer. That Famous CFC bloke is a troll though.
