Adam Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 According to reports in http://www.smh.com.au/news/aussie-update/e...9964744532.html Isn't he a left winger??? Not sure how old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah hes a left winger, we were interested in him when he joined Blackburn. I would like to get him, i havnt heard the story anywhere else though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boy Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah hes a left winger, we were interested in him when he joined Blackburn. I would like to get him, i havnt heard the story anywhere else though 29887[/snapback] Think he could be an excellent addition, especially if VDM is going. if we can get him in and maybe do that swap deal mooted with Porto for Benni Mc, I think we could be set for a good season. Moyes has shown some good negotiation skill, especially with Lescott. Getting Wolves to change their terms from £4m up front to £2m and £2m dependant on fitness, shows he has learned a lesson. Lets hope he can get this one in too, and get rid of VDM, as he seems to want to go. We only want players who wanna play for EFC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead1 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 He can play anywhere i think, while hes been at BB he's played all over the place a bit like Neville for us. DM has already stated that he ain't looking to sign any "big name" players now he just wants reliable stand ins to make up the numbers and the competition. Think Emerton would be the type of player to fit the bill on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_Blue Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 when we get a good left winger? With what we have spent this summer I don't reckon we will have the money to get a 'good' left mid till next year at the earliest I think Emerson would be a good signing. Tho as others have said never seen him on the left but when I have seen him play he has been pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 He is one of those players that does heaps for fark all return. A superb Athlete, somewhat a machine. However, he turns the ball over oh so much, his final pass sux & he can get drawn out of pozzie pretty easily. Always busy, flogs himself, puts in yes, just the results are much what you would get froma right footed Kilbane. he is what I have always called a GROANER, Makes you groan watching him after a host of good work the final pass, misses, goes out or ends up in the stands & thst if he hasnt turned it over. Coaches like hime because he is a superb athlete & adaptable. Still that doesnt make him a great player. I have often wondered if ex coaches whom have rediscovred him have infact stalled his progress. He was A centre forward @ Sydney olympic, converted to right side mid/wing @ feyenord, much the same @ Rovers, whilst now Hiddink has him playing oft Right back. Oh the short version of all that is Dont sign this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the sign of a slacker, you're right about the turkish ass**** though.

Adams Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Everton EYE EMERTON Everton boss David Moyes is set to carry on spending spree by landing Brett Emerton from Blackburn. Moyes has been a busy man since the season ended, adding goalkeeper Tim Howard, centre-back Joleon Lescott and striker Andrew Johnson to his playing staff at Goodison Park. The Scot still wants to strengthen to his squad, though, and sees Australia winger Emerton as the player to bolster his midfield options. Reports in the Sydney Morning Herald claim the Rovers star has been talking to Socceroos team-mate Tim Cahill about life on Merseyside, as he is seeking regular first-team football after being edged out of the Ewood Park frame by David Bentley at the end of last season. Moyes could well lodge a £1.5million bid as Emerton has two years left on his Rovers contract, and he said: "With a bit of luck we might add one or two more before the start of the season, but I would expect that to be a lot nearer the deadline than now. "I'm looking closely at the World Cup to see if there is anything there. "I would still like to add another couple of players before the season kicks off for numbers and better competition, so I'm going to push hard for that."
