Makis Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Instead of yapping about Baxter, here's a real rumour. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/583213/Caio-Emerson-Liverpool-Everton-transfer-news We were linked with him briefly in the summer as well, but so was Barcelona.

Sibdane Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 According to that video he is 5'3"?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 How long ago was that though?! Not saying he can't make it, it's just it can be a disadvantage in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Stewart Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 He's only 17, so still has time to grow. I was only 5'1 when I was 17 but I grew to 6'1 in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) He is apparently highly regarded. This would be a pretty major statement if it came off. Edited January 29, 2017 by JoeQuince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 That 5'1" is obviously wrong. It looks like he's 172/173cm or about 5'7½". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderToff Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) That 5'1" is obviously wrong. It looks like he's 172/173cm or about 5'7½".The video title suggests that it's highlights from 2013, making him about 14 in it. Hope this one is true, he looks an exciting prospect.

Lowensda Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Size is irrelevant... You tell yourself that pudding. (Don't even care if it's taken out of context, using Trump's alternative 'Facts') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 FWIW, I'm seeing a more recent height of 5'6". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghoat Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) This explains the Barca connection. His age seems like the reason he hasn't moved yet. http://news.ladbrokes.com/football/premier-league/odds-suggest-everton-have-beaten-liverpool-barcelona-in-race-for-wonderkid.html ODDS SUGGEST EVERTON HAVE BEATEN LIVERPOOL & BARCELONA IN RACE FOR WONDERKID Brazilian ticks all the boxes for Koeman 31 January 2017 It’s not often you see Barcelona, Everton and Liverpool all linked with the same player. But add to that the fact that the Toffees look to have beaten their rivals in the race to sign someone and we have an incredibly strange case on our hands. The man in question is Brazilian prodigy Caio Emerson. Currently on the books at Corinthians, the 17-year old wouldn’t be able to move from the Brazilian outfit until next month – when he turns 18. But that hasn’t stopped our traders from making Everton the 8/13 favourites for the wonderkid’s signature. While the prospect of playing for La Liga giants Barcelona would seem too good to refuse for most youngsters, Emerson’s apparent decision to opt for a move to Goodison Park already tells us he’s got a mature head on his shoulders. And Toffees supporters will certainly be walking round Merseyside with a smug look on their faces if the forward turns down a move to their Red neighbours in favour of the Blues. Perhaps Emerson has been swayed by the potential game-time he’d likely receive at Everton, especially given the fact that Koeman has already handed senior debuts to three players aged 19 or younger this season. Regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in South America, Emerson’s potential arrival to the Premier League would be a huge coup for the division as a whole.
