Not sure you can really use this against him. But back on topic - Martinez is just an absolute wonderful player. He is without doubt the signing of last season and I am just delighted that it has clearly worked out for him (and Messi). Just absolutely incredible year for him and he’s a Villa player! Whoever made this signing happen; thank you!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Can you imagine that this guy sat around in Arsenal's reserves for 10 years, it's unbelievable. He came to England as a 17 year old leaving behind his family and they wasted his talent for so long. I'm so happy we signed him. I love his winning mentality, he's now a Copa America winner to add to his FA Cup win. I hope there's more to come with Villa. I genuinely wouldn't swap any other GK for him right now. All that frustration for being ignored for so long has made him a better player imo, it's helped him become more resilient and he's shown that over the last 12 months. I also love his emotional openness. Was visibly in tears after the FA Cup Final last after sacrificing so much to go to Arse, and has clearly been emotional throughout his journey with Argentina in this tournament, giving up seeing his new born child to ensure he was fully focused on the whole tournament. Well done Emi, you deserve this success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 You know the whole “finding the diamond in the rough” phrase we and Argentina have found one… it’s big and shiny and we love it dearly The crown jewel, Emi Martínez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever made this signing happen; thank you!!! Yeah but I am a Villa fan and Villa pretty much invented the football league system/concept, which means we are essentially Gods of club football... And Gods say and do what they like Its a fantastic system and one I wholeheartedly endorse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Surely we will be trying to tie Emi down to a big contract now. Another 5 years from now with a big pay rise. He will be in demand and his current contract probably leaves us a little exposed. He totally deserves a massive pay rise. The bloke just keeps delivering. He also will have massively raised our profile in South/Central America over the past month. He is worth every single penny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just as important as Grealish is to us, so deserves a similar pay rise. Honestly wouldn’t swap him for anyone else in the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s yet to meet his new daughter. He’s done so well to stay focused, what an emotional time for him. Sign up Little Emi too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 What a fantastic achievement, he will be renowned and adored by Argentina fans and, with his contribution, has allowed Messi to finally win something on the international stage. I mean, did they even know who the big man was before this tournament? What an impact! He won that no.1 shirt and wasn’t going to let it go! What a man, what a player. Huge personality coupled with huge talent and ability. A true leader, for inspiration and positive influence. Well done Emi, can’t wait to have you back at Villa and enjoy success together.

Jas10 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I don’t think his impact can be understated, this is massive for Argentina, their fans and for Lionel Messi. Would they have won it without him? Na 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what crack he meant, ass crack or just the drug Crack . Messi- “Congratulations beast !!! More than deserved! You are crack.” In Argentina "crack" is a genius. In football it describes an exceedingly good footballer, as in "Leo Messi es un crack." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Good thing PSG already signed Donnarumma because if Messi against all odds ends up there I'm certain he'd have pushed for them to sign Emi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
