Emerson

Stunning. He is gone.

Bellerin to have medical at Real Betis. SKY

 

[Messi983]

I think we actually helped Betis to sign Hector.

 

[Givenchy]

shame he didn't get more of a chance but from what I've seen of him (little admittedly) 30mil is an amazing fee for him

 

[Messi983]

Tottenham have doubled his wages. Good for him.

Emerson Royal has signed his contract as a new Tottenham player. He’s joining on a permanent move for €25m after Spurs reached an agreement with Bar?a. Medical also completed. [@FabrizioRomano]

Beyond stunned.

Good move for everyone. A counter-attacking team where he doesn't have to drive into traffic all the time benefits him as he's subpar in tight spaces. Wish him good luck. Great that we're not getting that Bellerin dude, last thing we need is a RB Jordi Alba-like chap that you'd rather punch than support.

This part will not happen under Laporta.
Thank God...

Do you have a better name?

At least with Xavi you get pretty much everything bar experience.

- proven winning mentality as a player
- Barca legend (actually tier A+ next to likes of Cruyff, Messi, Iniesta, etc).
- midfield genius and orchestrator + engine of the best side ever
- leader and strong character
- fancies a style close to Barca's identity, the same one we teach players in La Masia how to play, not the conservative half-baked stuff we've been seeing in recent years

The only ones that get in front of Xavi are the A-listers. We're not getting a sniff at those, since A-listers aren't unemployed enjoying the hills and the roses on the countryside like Valverde or Setien.

 

[Messi983]

Good move for everyone.

for everyone except Barca

 

[serghei]

for everyone except Barca

Especially for Barca.

 

[Messi983]

Nope.


It's a terrible deal for Barca. Unless Laporta's plan is competing for Conference league next year then he's on a good way.

RE Emerson : the line from rac1 and ESPN seems to be for Koeman, after the game against Getafe, something changed and he didn't really care for Emerson anymore. And green lighted the sporting directive to let him leave

We didn't even give him 2 starts! Lol

 

[Devils]

Official

 

[Messi983]

Absolutely idiotic move but looks like it won't be the worst we'll do today.

Anyway, good luck to Emerson, hope he'll make Laporta and Koeman looks like idiots they are.
