Bad idea to start this thread far away from the general discussion, because I rarely look in this sub-forum. But since I got directed here a minute or five ago...

Do I know anything about him? I'm actually a bit of a fan of Emnes. I got lucky and saw the guy live in action a couple of months ago, he impressed me a lot. I have to admit that I'm usually worried when guys that age go abroad, but it doesn't make sense to think it could hurt his speed and technique. The money should be good and Middlesbrough is obviously a step up. Emnes isn't your typical goal-machine striker, nor left winger. Somewhat in between of the two, kinda like Ryan Babel, whom Premier League followers should know. Obviously he's not such a big name yet, but he's coming off a great season. It's hard to see him kick off as a starting eleven guy in the world's best league at the moment, but as far as I know he's got the skills and winner mentality to have a shot at it.
