Emerson is the Aurier/Doherty upgrade, no need for Tomiyasu.This is the part of the window where players that I had no interest in at the start of the window start looking good because they are better than the nothing we have and are likely to get.
No interest in Thuram when he was linked, but now would love to bring him in. I was even warming to the idea of Tomiyasu as an improvement over Aurier/Doherty and better LCB option than Dier/Davies.
Hell at this point I would even take Traore because he is better than the nothing we have. It would be far from ideal but at least give us something we are in desperate need of.
