Popular Post alreadyexists Posted June 2, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 A bit of Googling shows he’s on £47k per week. I’d offer an improved deal for another 5 years personally. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new 5 year deal on much improved terms would be very deserved. He only signed for 4 years initially, i suspect driven by Emi but who knows. You'd hope with the performances he's delivered and the consistency that he's shown warrants 5 years, and that he's now got some faith in the longer term plans for our club that a new 5 year deal would be accepted, especially on a bigger salary. 3 years left as it stands so I'd be worried about leaving it another year, but can't see that happening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yeah agree, I hope we sign him onto an improved contract for 5 years during next season. They will be his peak years and we need to lock down our best players on longer term contracts now. Luiz if he doesn't rejoin City and Emi would be the two at the top of the list. Watkins if he improves again next season would deserve one the season afrer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually sent a shiver of excitement down my spine. It really is a just reward for his performances, and so thoroughly deserved. He must be so happy, and I'm sure he'll be hugely grateful to Villa for helping him with that. Great news!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being seen by younger players as a gateway club to their national team ambitions cannot be a bad thing. From this squad Luiz made his senior debut at Villa, Ollie, Ty, Jack, now Emi. AEG only just missed out this time, Konsa and Targett waiting in the wings too. It’s a great pattern to be setting. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Watching Pickford last night makes me appreciate our Emi more than ever. He’s the gold standard of goalkeepers, and he’s all ours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Argentina on the covid red list so he will need to self isolate on return to uk as would any potential future signings who may have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if ‘elite’ sports has an exemption to red list isolation - if not, he won’t be ‘self’ isolating, he will isolating in a ‘COVID hotel’ designated by the government. I can’t imagine sports stars spending 10 days in some dodgy hotel room with food on a tray left at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portugal was a “green list” country at the time of their finals so isolating wasn’t a requirement for returning to the UK.
