Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Just won the World Cup, of course he is elite. If certain teams cannot afford him I wonder if a swap deal + money is an option? Unai Simon or Alex Remiro must be a potential replacement, I think Emery can persuade them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bardell think Chelsea is a possibility, who knows. I would 100% take a p/x tho (for the right player(s)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Martinez in some ways, a shithouse who famously ignored his manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you obviously know far more than the experts. Do you genuinely believe he's in the top three keepers in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are supposedly interested teams that would probably justify that status. He played all but one game to win the World Cup and plays in the best league in the World. However, this is the Martinez thread. He played a major role in winning Argentina the Copa America and World Cup. Elite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted February 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2023 Whether we as fans want him to leave or not really doesn't matter. Negative comments about him from the manager, and noises directly from him about winning things suggest he'll be playing elsewhere next season.

Time wasting happens. Seeing games out by killing the other team's momentum is part of the arts of football we've been pathetic at for so long.

He's our best goalie in so long, but Villa fans again win the fickle award and turn on the enemy of the week. It's insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it seems unlikely, but maybe they're planning to move one or both of those on? The other club Bardell mentioned which seems more logical to me is Spurs.

Tom13 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Even Emery called out Emi's time-wasting yesterday saying he doesn't agree with it. Wishing the time away (especially so bloody early) is not a positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) At the end of the day he needs to follow the coaches instructions like all players and he isn't time wasting , going up for the corner etc his letting his ego get in the way and his form is being affected.

I assume it differs from topic to topic, but now he's colleagues with people in Sky's transfer team he presumably does have some knowledge. If you listen to the segment, he talks like he's sharing something real but without making any definitive claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we all know killing the ability of other teams to build any momentum is integral to winning football games. It's a part of the game. Arsenal are a good team. We played well. There's no need for any hysteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
