Marvin Emnes on 20:11 - Jan 31 with 2199 views | JonnyTheJack | I don't know what people expect. There was no way we were going to get Chadli or Holtby. They play that behind the striker role Michu plays and he's back next week. Put that with the fact they'd be on around 40/50k a week. We can't afford to have 2 or 3 top class players in a position that requires 1 player. We obviously left it too late to give it serious thought about a certain player and just wanted bodies in. He knows the club which will help, he's also capable of playing 2 or 3 positions. I'm not sure how many games he'll play but he'll take Vasquez's place on the bench surely which will improve the gameday squad? | | | |

Marvin Emnes on 19:41 - Jan 31 by magicdaps10 | This a signing just for the sake of it! Surely we have the numbers and needed a winger who could come into the starting team and make a impact. |
Got to laugh we pull out of the chase for lnce to pursue other targets and end up with Emnes desperation springs to mind to me. Just after I've got over the shock of us signing Ngog. | |

Marvin Emnes on 20:19 - Jan 31 with 2074 views | TenkosBlondeWig | I didn't think he was that good the first time around in the Championship So in the summer Laudrup tells Jenkins Emnes is not good enough and now we go out and get him on loan 5 months later He must have improved since then . . . . oh hang on 1 goal in 24 games for Boro and they can't wait to get shot of him | | | |
Marvin Emnes on 20:23 - Jan 31 with 2002 views | airedale | One thing I noticed about him when he came to us originally, he hit the ground running with regards to our playing style, as if he had played for us for a long time. The only reservations I have about him is whether he's PL standard. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Do you realise players sometimes perform better at different clubs and better teams? | | | |

Luckily the people who are making these signings have probably done more than pop onto wiki to get his goal ratio. Thank god for that as well, otherwise we wouldn't have players like Dyer at the club. | | | |

He is a competent player who will help us field FA cup and Europa League teams. He will not necessarily play in the PL. | | | |

I have seen Emnes play and he didn't actually set the world alight in the Championship for us OK, he scored a terrific goal against Cardiff If that makes him good enough for a Premier League team looking for a mid table spot then I am amazed NGog and Emnes = Vasquez and Lamah | | | |

I don't think so , those competitions are a bit long in the tooth now, I don't think it would be a good idea to play him against Napoli or Everton. | | | |

Well lets hope he come here looking for a fresh start and a determination to do well, one thing he's got like Ngog is pace, so i hope he takes his chance when its given. | |

And last year they were lauding him. Fans are a fickle bunch, as proven on every forum. | | | |

Good point. Worth a shot I'd say. We of all fans should know that players can make the step up with us - just look at the players who've we've been able to stick with through the years. And let's face it, he couldn't possibly be worse than Pablo can be when he's off form. | | | |

Have you seen what some of our fans have said about JDG? The same would apply for many of our players. Half of our fans on this board have spent most of the last 2 seasons saying Dyer isn't good enough. The lesson here is that you can't trust what people write on message boards. More tripe than a Talksport phone-in. | |

First half of last season he was flying (or was it season before, I lose track). But point being he's clearly got some talent. I'd rather wait to see how he fits in before getting too upset. If he's just cover, maybe he'll not even be needed but gives us some depth in the squad until the summer. | | | |
