HongKongVillan Posted December 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2022 Can't believe so many pages dedicated on whether Emi cheated o being unsportsmanlike; when Kane dived to win a peno of course is call 'cute'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got to be honest, and I probably am the only person who thinks this but I would actually consider selling him if a club came in with crazy money. I think he is a better tournament keeper than league keeper (and yet we don’t play him in the cups!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 If we’re offered crazy money for him and the club have done their due diligence on a replacement, then why not? It’s money we can reinvest into other areas of the team to improve. Id rather not sell him and hope he stays, but everybody has their price and his stock will never be higher. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are offered crazy money and he want to move then he will. Lets not pretend we will get an equally good keeper though, buying goalkeepers is incredibly difficult to get right.

I'd say most Napoli fans would sympathise with that and it's certainly how it went down in South America... The Italo-Argentina links are more felt on the Argentinian side than here, in Argentina there's a saying that you aren't Argentinian if you don't have an Italian surname.

colhint Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I'm of the opinion, under Unai we will never lose a game again, and with Emi, we'll never concede a goal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sort of thing you hate when it's against you, but in our side, it appeals to the base elements in me. Not liking it doesn't make you a snowflake for sure though.

It would have to be 60-70m. I really don't have any confidence in the club when it comes to keepers. It took us 3 bad signings to get Emi. Olsen isn't great either.
