We should be used to it. Someone said £60 million, he must be worth more?

We can be very smart about this if we have genuine interest in Martinez. We can bank a big profit and choose to have that in this year or next years accounts. Who would buy Emi though? Chelsea, he wouldn't join Spurs would he. United will stick with De Gea. Nobody else in market for one who could pay 60m+ Only open spots are Spurs (who wont pay another 200k a week to a keeper along with Lloris. Forster and Hart have been recent back up goalies) United and Atletico who both have keepers with expiring contracts Oblak is the key, his decision could open the market with Emi, Bono, De Gea, Sommer and maybe Kepa/Mendy on the move. Emi will be probably the most expensive but I dont think is worth it financially 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Cash in when his stocks high, buy a keeper with better distribution and will still likely have money to put towards other squad improvements after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 It's a shame we don't have a decent number 2 cos I would bench him. Not sure what use he will be for the rest of the season if he can't keep his feet on the ground. Was he this desperate to play champions league when Arsenal stuck him out on loan to lower leagues. Needs to be careful his head doesn't get too big for the goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I think the reaction to Emi is a bit overblown. The guy seems a nice lad off the pitch, a family man embracing the area, seemed fully invested in Villa after moving and even gave an exit interview at Arsenal which not many players would agree to. I think the aftermath of the world cup has got to his head but that's bound to happen when you've gone from thinking you'll never be number 1 to winning the world cup in 2 years. That kind of turnaround is unheard of for a player of Martinez age. I also think the departure of Cutler has influenced his attitude. For me, stick with him, get his head screwed back on and do a similar agreement to the Grealish situation. You can go, but this is the price, this is the time that you need someone to pay it by and you can't announce a departure until we've bought a replacement in and Purslow has recorded an apology video at Villa Park with the new crest and home kit pinned up behind him, whilst also announcing a shirt sponsorship with Cadburys 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I agree, cashing in when his stock is highest is not a bad idea, but why publicize it? You have to make it look like you don't want to sell him to be able to charge that premium in transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saw the big reception macallister for when he returned to Brighton or even Dougie when he came back with the Olympic gold. I didn't see any big celebration at the club for him, which I thought was strange at the time. The fans didn't even make a big effort to celebrate.

Spoony Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 He’s practically gone already in my mind. I really hope it stays somewhat amicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted February 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2023 For me the context of Emery’s conversation with the reporter after the match has been lost. He was asked by the reporter wasn’t him bringing it up to throw Martinez under the bus. He said he didn’t tell Martiniz to go forward or never asked a keeper to go forward becuase of the stats involved. Then went on about not being happy with the team performance. Maybe there’s other interviews I haven’t seen, but IMO he just didn’t feel it was necessary and in line with a few players making decisions during the game that don’t reflect his game plan. As much as I love Emi, if someone wants to throw silly money at the club to sign him and Emery gets GK that suits his style of play, bye Emi, especially if he wants CL football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
