His Argie training shows through when he has the ball at his feet. But I can't think of one aspect of his game that is flawed in any way. Looking like one of our shrewdest signings in years. Even when he has "nothing to do" he is doing something, completely settles down everyone at all times. 2 or 3 "simple" passes made to him yesterday where last season would not have even entertained and even worse would have been fluffed due to the indecision of having to second guess yourself passing to a complete muppet. He's brilliant, at everything. £20m is staggering, being 28 years old and not even having 100 league appearances under his belt and a CV of Championship clubs even more so. Just how badly have Arsenal mismanaged this guys career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how badly have Arsenal mismanaged this guys career. He's also in top physical condition. I don't see any reason why he can't start for Villa for another 10 years!

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Remember how many people were pissed off when the board and management were clueless for wasting money as we needed a striker and Nyland and Steer were ok and didn;t deserve this? lol Lange out and all that.

Not just as a shot stopper, or a 'commands the area' type player, a class act in every way. He is like a younger, better Friedel, and I bloody loved that guy! Seems to think more like a Last defender than a keeper at times. lol Hence the rush of blood out the area the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Keyblade Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 You have to feel for Arsenal fans (not really). You're 15th place and you're watching your very own homegrown keeper play at a world class level for Villa who are street ahead of you at the moment. You didn't even get decent compensation for him. Daylight robbery. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a club decision really. Every year they don't make CL they have to make shortfall and so a squad player coming out of nowhere performing incredibly well for 10 games and attracting bids of over 15m was simply too tempting to turn down. I wonder if Arteta went along with this as him thinking Leno is a better keeper than Martinez looks like yet another wrong call. Leno isn't bad but Martinez just has that thing every really good keeper needs, presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Emi seems to be following a similar path to Jimmy Rimmer. He too was a second tier Goal keeper at Arsenal, when we bought him and that ended well too. funny how history repeats itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 He's a god damn wall. It felt weird wanting to vote him motm in a match today when we won 3-0 and the entire team did well, but he just is so god damn solid. Whenever the ball enters the box I almost expect him to get it. Fantastic keeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Still early times, but he could well be the best keeper I've seen at the club, and one of the best signings ever. He has everything and brings such calmness to the team and organizes the defence superbly. I think the improvement in our defence is very much because of him.

R.Bear Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Outside of Jack, he's out most important and best player. Easily the best keeper we've had in the PL era. An absolutely inspired signing and inspirational player. He doesnt make mistakes and seemingly has no weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
