Some players need a lucky break when it comes to their career.
Think for the short time he has been with us, 2 loan periods, he has done enough to get a 3 year deal.
Made a big impact in the short time he has been given on both occasions, winner against Cardiff last time around and now he just helped keep us in prem. Relatively cheap and Monk believes in him.
Sign him up. Only 25, plenty more to come I reckon. |  |

Well said Ian. I'm trying to say that were the highest possession stat team in the country and that can make us look toothless at times |
We do appear toothless at times. Same can be said of other sides that play the possession game (Arsenal and Barca particularly). A lot depends on the tempo you start with and how much the opposition lets you play. Palace and W.Brom home were great examples, where we were allowed to play at will in 1st half and should have scored many more. Second half, both teams got tighter to us high up the pitch and we did indeed look toothless.
If we had the type of players who could really take advantage of situations when we are on top, we would never be in this position. That was why we were so good last year, as Michu was lethal in those situations. |  | | |

You'd think that with his close control and pace our Wayne should be given a chance at AM |
Worth a try, especially if we can find ourselves a good left winger. |  | | |

I like Emnes coming off the bench to be honest.
I genuinely think he gives us something different. He's quick, direct, big and quite unpredictable. Yes he's never going to be a starting 11 player but you do need players happy to be used off the bench.
If the price is right, I'd get him signed up |
He's certainly a better backup forward than Shecter, Ngog or Vasquez! I don't know what sort of 2nd choice striker expect us to get. Whoever comes in will know they will be lucky to get 10 starts, Maybe a dozen or so sub appearances and a run out in the early rounds of the cups. | | | |

He did indeed, a great option to have on bench.
Given more time with us, who knows what he'll achieve. | |

At one stage Marvin Emnes was in a front line of Craig Beattie (Dundee), Coterrill (Doncaster) and Cedric Van de Gun (Utrecht), supported by Kemy Agustien (Brighton) when he played against Wigan in the cup.
ME put in a good preformance and had Martinez looking at him. Has not had a good season at Boro due to new manager and maybe other factors. He can play a bit and is a realistic option despite the aspirations of some. |  | | |

I always say some players are just suited to a team and environment Leon for instance.
Dont know if Id give him 3 years maybe a year loan to see how it goes |  | | |

Me and my mates are convinced he won us the penalty in Newcastle because we sang his name from the second he came on to the second he won the penalty ahahah |  |

If our ambitions stretch to a contract for Emnes then the cheap option programme is still in full swing. We showed the door to a player who is still far far better than Emnes will ever be, Danny Graham,why on earth a contract based on a couple of cameo performances is justified is beyond me. | | | |

Well he's done more this season than Vasquez, Lita or Schechter have ever managed.
Players capable and willing to come off the bench and make a difference (or cameos if you'd rather call them that) aren't exactly easy to come by. | | | |

I seem to remember Danny Graham had some issues off the field? | | | |

I'd definitely give Emnes a contract as a squad player. |  |
| |
| Marvin Emnes on 15:06 - Apr 28 with 1362 views | A_Fans_Dad |
Me too, not only is he fast and direct, he can play anywhere up front, which makes him a great squad player. | | | |

Can be a very tricky player ,i've alawys liked him, and that winner at lego land ,say no more |  |

Marvin should start on Saturday before the pointless most inconsistent player we've ever had Hernandez. |
I presume that's a joke. | | | |

Only just noticed the date you wrote that. Pablo wasn't too bad after all was he. | | | |

I like Emnes he s a cool guy with bags if potential given a chance.
I hope he can get us another penalty by doing his thing running into the box again....if so it will be a hatrick. Three in a row.
Could we use this as a major tactic for the team come next season I would like to put to the panel? |  |

Only 25.? OMG
Anyway, I doubt many on here welcomed his loan signing as a real boost but he s been effective and that s all we can ask of players. He s quick as feck and is direct and most defenders hate this. He does know the way to goal and I d wager he could get a few goals for us if signed permanently. Seems we like him and vice versa and Ive a feeling we ll sign him up.
Its not fair to mention him in the same breath as the other afore mentioned players . | |

The thing I have loved about the Swans, particularly in the last 10 years, is their ability to pick up bargain signings and watch their careers blossom under our development team/manager. We too k a punt on the likes of Rangel, Bodde, Williams, Pratley, Scotland, Britton, Trundle etc. More recently, Vorm, Michu, Taylor and even Bony seems to be the player that the experts are saying everyone missed out on.
Christ we gave a trial to your mate, Andy Robinson, a player who had been playing for Cammel Laird & he was instrumental in partnering Trundle in the earlier years of the Swansea City rise.
I just love it when it comes off.
When we signed Ngog & Emnes, despite it being a tad embarrassing at the time, I still hoped that we'd find yet another inspired bargain amongst them.
Ngog has disappeared without trace but Emnes for me has potential.
We still talk about the 'Monk £90million block tackle' at Wembley. What price can you put on Emnes's run into the box to win the injury time penalty at Newcastle?
That penalty changed everything for us.
The only danger for me is Emnes reverting to his reputation (at other clubs) of not giving a feck. What have we got to lose? Give him a one season contract to keep him on his toes.
And... for you oldies. Do you remember Cloughie used to do this just as well... Kenny Burns, John Robertson, Tony Woodcock... |  |
