Delphinho123 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 He always seems so grateful to us. It’s so bizarre having a player of his quality in our side. Without any doubt, the best goalkeeper to ever play for Aston Villa. A club legend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2023 If you think of what he has achieved in 5 years you could argue he is one of the most inspirational sports people in recent history. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Emi (and half the rest of our current team) are also a real two fingers to the narrative around Grealish and his attempts to join Tottenham, Man U and eventually Man City from 2018-2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's more of a two-fingers up at Southgate tbh. Emi's achieved it all at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely gets mentioned in dedicated live section featuring the balon d'or! More is made out of who won the womens award (spoiler it was some woman) or who may win it next year ffs It nearly seems like they are deliberately ignoring the Yachin trophy completely. I am unreasonably annoyed at this considering how little it actually impacts my life but im fit to be tied! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me preface this by saying I love Emi. I think he's absolutely fantastic. However, I do think he is slightly overrated. That's not me trying to be negative. He's brilliant. But at the moment his reputation is genuinely that of the best goalkeeper in the world. Or in the conversation at least. I don't think he's actually at that level. He's very very very good, and he's the best keeper we could have got when we got him. But I think there would be a (slightly moneyball) argument that fi we received bids like that we should sell him. Not because we want to get rid of him, but because we'd be getting more than he's worth. Obviously it's relative, and the bigger question is even if we had £100m, would we be able to replace him with a keeper who is as good or better? Quite possibly not. But I think there's a genuine conversation to be had around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there's a genuine conversation to be had around it I can understand an argument for selling, replacing for half the price with the caveat of a new keeper being slightly worse but the overall team being improved. I wouldn't go for that argument, but I understand it. Now, I don't think there is a better keeper in world football. Who is better? Ter Stegen? No way. It's a very particular position. I can't see a better fit in world football. If someone can, please tell me who! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there's a genuine conversation to be had around it I think he's easily as good as anyone in the world but I doubt we would stand in his way if he wanted to leave if we got offered that kind of money and he wanted to go to try and win the Champions League with someone. He's basically had to try and make a whole career in half the time because of the years Arsenal wasted with him on the bench so I can see a point soon where he goes, unless we can get Champions League next season.
