The clubs above us all have number 1 keepers sorted and can't imagine Emi would leave unless he was guaranteed the number 1 shirt. Spurs maybe. But they wouldn't pay for him.

I Dont think so, all the top clubs in Europe have the goalkeeping position set or have highly expensive keepers who are still OK that they cant afford to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the clean sheet record? Does Martinez have a shot? I think he is 2 from Freidels record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we got 19 clean sheets one season in the late 90s but that was shared across 2 keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 For me, he is now the best goalkeeper I have seen in a Villa shirt. Bloody awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Not many of the top European clubs that need a new keeper and even fewer who can afford PL players. Atletico Madrid are the only ones I can think of and that is IF they sell Oblak. PSG maybe if they think Navas is too old. Chelsea are looking at Oblak or Donnarumma and I suspect those would be the ones PSG look at too if they are in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I don’t buy the idea we should fear losing him, Emi is a true professional and wants to repay the faith put in him. I know after years of failure and mediocrity, it feels weird, but we’ve made such big progress that we aren’t that club we used to be. Emi gets to be a foundational stone at this club and the ambition we have will continue to push him to want to stay and build something here.

PieFacE Posted March 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) It would cost crazy money for any club to buy him from us now. Really don't think there's any chance of him leaving, especially with clubs not doing too well financially since COVID etc. Edited March 7, 2021 by PieFacE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 No clean sheet for Ederson Time for Emi to go joint top on Friday. With Friedel aswell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Think we got our answer on why Arsenal sold Emi. First year in the red for the last ten was 2019 and then COVID hit. Selling Emi was their one move they had to balance the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already ' selling ' players, who willingly came to a team which survived relegation by 1 point, because we haven't made Europe in their first season.

alreadyexists Posted March 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2021 Not just our best signing of the summer, but THE best signing of the summer in my opinion. Just fantastic. Such a good keeper, such a nice bloke, I am proud he calls himself a Villa player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some don't understand contracts or the Owners we have, we must just fetch players in to let the go soon as a club comes sniffing. People on this site don't half get daft on this whole it will be difficult to keep a player if we don't see Europe or once a big offer comes in they will be off nonsense. One- While under contract we are not forced to sell players. Two- If we don't see Europe any player under contract doesn't have to be sold. Three- If big clubs offer Money while under contract the club and Owners can say no. Four- While under contract if a player is unhappy which I doubt any of the first eleven are the Owners can say your not being sold. Five- we have two Owners, Purslow, Smith and Lange who I'm sure between them all can tie these players up in contract for life if they want it so.

5-1 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Emi has often said he wants to repay the trust Villa showed him. I can't see him wanting to leave after 1 year even if we do miss out on Europe. These players know we're building something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we lost the likes of Milner and Barry in the past. We just couldn't get over the line and match their ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
