If Turkish Airlines is sponsoring his "here we go" tweets I wonder what company sponsors his "here we go soon" tweets.He’s got at least three more tweets to put out saying the same thing slightly differently before this does or doesn’t get done.
See the Juve Amazon AON docco, trust me if we want someone out then Paraitici won’t make it comfortable for them ? ? ??Remember when we had Gunter, Corluka, Walker & naughton. We are about to do the same thing. Peculiar. Nobody wants to leave the club, it’s such a problem. We make it too comfortable for these players.
Agree with this mate.That's more about Emerson's lack of roundedness as a player than anything IMO, his attacking abilities are far below the required standard. Emerson needs to play RB to mitigate his flaws, but even then you'll still be let down when he does join attacks.
Now Porro might be the same in terms of defensive ability currently but that is a lot more coachable. Trippier is playing RB in a 4 in the best defense in the league.
From the little I've seen of both I'd have more concerns over Udogie than Porro.
I do think a modern day FB attacks more than in the past though, so the skillset probably transfers easier RWB>FB - most sides that play 4 ATB, like Liverpool, allow the FBs to bomb on and a Fabinho-type drops in to make a 3 anyway. Poch did similar with Dier to free up Walker/Rose. It's not like in a 442 where they are there for defensive shape, in a 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3, they are the width anyway.Just like the reverse with Emerson RB & RWB are actually very different positions to play and have very different requirements. That’s not to say that no RB’s are able to play RWB and vice versa but if conte is going and we are getting a back 4 manager this summer then it’s a legitimate concern if we are spending £40+ mil on a specialist RWB, will/can he be effective as an attacking RB or is he only good as a RWB.
If you look at Emerson, it says the same. It's just Transfermarkt's definition of a 3-4-3, where the wing backs are defined as midfielders.According to transfermarket his average position is RM. Do we have anyone on here who watches him regularly? How good is he at RB? With Conte unlikely to stay just trying to understand why we are still signing a player who appears perfect for RWB but odds are the next manager we appoint won't play with wingbacks
I personally don't think we would have delayed triggering the clause just to assist them. What would be the benefit to that?Do you not think we’ve delayed triggering the release clause in order for Sporting to bring in their replacement? It’s very plausible we’ve worked to assist Sporting here.
Kyle Walker and Danny Rose we more Wing backs than full backs Poch just had a CM dropping in between the CBs when they bombed forwardTrent Alexander Arnold is far from the best in defence. Not too shabby going forward tho'.
Plays in Klopp's often utilised 433.
Just sayin'.
Agree that’s is true, it’s more just a question of how good are they defensively and how do they get used to a new position in a back 4, as you say if it’s a 4-2-3-1 with a CDM dropping in and FB’s pushing on then the positioning is similar but it’s still not exactly the same and teams will always need to drop back into a compact shape and when doing so it’s very different in a back 4 as the space you cover to defend is bigger and your CB mate isn’t as close to you as your RCB one is.I do think a modern day FB attacks more than in the past though, so the skillset probably transfers easier RWB>FB - most sides that play 4 ATB, like Liverpool, allow the FBs to bomb on and a Fabinho-type drops in to make a 3 anyway.

Doubt it ? but you never know mateWe assume he’s coming in as a wingback but I wonder if he’ll also be used in the wing forward position hence why we are happy to loan out Gil?
Haha! Fair to say a lot of if's have to fall into place before it becomes an issue anyway, starting with actually signingAgree that’s is true, it’s more just a question of how good are they defensively and how do they get used to a new position in a back 4, as you say if it’s a 4-2-3-1 with a CDM dropping in and FB’s pushing on then the positioning is similar but it’s still not exactly the same and teams will always need to drop back into a compact shape and when doing so it’s very different in a back 4 as the space you cover to defend is bigger and your CB mate isn’t as close to you as your RCB one is.
The modern game has changed but I find it interesting as I’ve played to a paid professional level at LWB but I’d have been an appalling LB ?
? mate ??Haha! Fair to say a lot of if's have to fall into place before it becomes an issue anyway, starting with actually signing
I guess some of it is down to the player too, right, so some will be more adaptable than others and comfortable with taking on different instructions etc, I guess it's not a one size fits all kind of issue?

Feels like difference is now more are you playing RB with low block, so, with the ball, it's really more RWB (TAA, walker at spurs, trippier at toon, etc) or more where RB if anything cuts in field, bit like Woolwich are doing with saka/martinelli providing the width. For me, the former is becoming way more common. So means your RB needs pace, stamina to get up and down, and decent crossing / ability to interplay and create overloads.Just like the reverse with Emerson RB & RWB are actually very different positions to play and have very different requirements. That’s not to say that no RB’s are able to play RWB and vice versa but if conte is going and we are getting a back 4 manager this summer then it’s a legitimate concern if we are spending £40+ mil on a specialist RWB, will/can he be effective as an attacking RB or is he only good as a RWB.
