Might work out or might be a disaster in both my points |

By reading the expert/pundit assessments, this one could go either way. I think the key is that he has shown something and just might flourish in the right situation. Him coming on a free, is also key.
Where's the Benfica updates?
For me some very troubling news is unfolding.
I know everyone was and is against Emerson, but I could see a huge mistake being made. Luisinho? That's what we got?
We are dismissing a younger player (26) that was going through growing pains in a new club and country for a 27 year old that was even shakier with P. Ferreira? I still don't know the transfer fee involved in this one.
Some Stats;
Emerson: 0 goals, 4 assists, 9 yellows, 2 reds in all competitions (39 matches)
Luisinho: 1 goal, 4 assists, 13 yellows, 1 red in all competitions (32 matches)
Not good at all.
I get that Emerson was our weak link last season, but people are forgetting he was replacing Coentrao. Coentrao, who is a world class left back. Not an easy find.
I truly think that people were grading Emersons performance against Coentrao, instead of seeing his play. He has pace and is physical, who should get better. I'm afraid he's being used as the scapegoat by the fans and worst yet, the club. Please keep in mind that I might have defended Emerson, but I also saw his faults. I just didn't think it was always on him.
Not good.
