West Ham Online

"West Ham United is delighted to announce the signing of Italy international defender Emerson Palmieri. The 28-year-old has joined the Hammers on a four-year contract with a one-year option for an undisclosed fee from fellow Premier League club Chelsea. A pacy and technically proficient left-back or left wing-back renowned for his stamina and attacking qualities, Emerson has won the UEFA European Championship, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League during a stellar career. Born in Brazil, Emerson moved to Italian football in 2014, was granted Italian citizenship and switched international allegiance three years later, and has since won 27 caps, including a start in Italy’s Euro 2020 final victory over England at Wembley a year ago."

"Welcome to West Ham Emerson. Based on how some think he’s probably as good as we can expect to sign. Hope he shines! Now let’s go out and get an attacking midfielder and a box to box player who can link up with the forwards, I’m hoping the Van Man is a back up option play in case we can’t secure Broja or Callagher this window."

"Together with Scamacca, this is a signing who is definitely better than what we've got. Should walk straight into a starting XI, leaving Cresswell on the bench."

Result. Now fucking play him Moyes.

"Only 2 ways to look at this for me. 1. He's a big upgrade on Masuaku. 2. He's the Italian first choice left back. If Cresswell was Italian do we think he'd be their leftback? Seems unlikely...so on that basis he's likely a decent upgrade on Cresswell too. Not a next level signing, but an improvement all the same."

Decent. Hopefully (along with Ogbonna) helps Scamacca settle in quickly. I’m fucking sick of Antonio stinking the place out with his mindless dog chasing a balloon act.

Not sure about this one. Never thought he played that well for Chelsea. We will see.

Emerson! Park your arse on this bench.

"Won't even make the bench surely as we've already replaced the 2nd goalkeeper. Oh wait, there's a youth product still on there, get rid of him and destroy his prospects asap."

Sort the midfield out

Moyes said he should be ready if we reach the conference final

"Let's hope he's ""ready""."

Lets hope he likes a bench seat

Welcome Emerson ‚öí
