Emerson Royal

[Gutter Boy]

I feel sorry for the guy in all honesty, 2 managers now that have played him in positions that he doesn't play.

But hopefully we'll never play a deep set flat back 4 ever again. So he'll never really work for us. But i think he'd be amazing somewhere like Serie A

Please make it happen. At least the source is good.

A bit of a bargain at sub £20m. As a defensive full back or CB he’s tenacious, aware, committed.

Doesn’t suit our system, but a good player.

I’ll be sad when he goes.

If you were to ask for a definition of "model professional," he would be it. If the rest of the team had only half of his mentality...

The mental resilience too.

i agree, some of the abuse he got from so called fans at the Lane was a disgrace, but he got his head down and proved most of them wrong.

If only Brian Gil invested as much time and effort on his wellbeing as Emerson

he proved all of them wrong, but some were too thick to realise

Gil is not the first one I would call out. Ndombele, Spence, Biss, even Sonny (I mean I'm sure he can work on his first touch ffs) are ones that come to mind.

Gil, IMO doesn’t appear to to have taken action for his lack of physicality or strength. Nothing.
That’s on him
That’s something he should be improving upon

I don't know about that one. Watch the Sonsational documentary. He does 2 hours extra training at home every day with his dad.

Its probably not on him. Just his genes. He's never going to be big!

So will most of the squad i would imagine.

Hope he gets his move and does well, took some shocking stick from a portion of our fans but always bounced back and did his job after the abuse.

For me it was always frustrating because he was criticised for being what he wasn't. If you wanted a solid dependable RB, excellent at 1v1 defending then he was your man but the fan base didn't want that. They wanted a flying wingback which rather unfairly he was never bought for in the first place, so many forget he was bought when we were playing an orthodox flat back 4 under Nuno.
