Not much we can do really. Hopefully we get him to sign a new contract so this is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping him happy by letting him miss 3 or 4 Villa games in the season to play for his country with the World Cup around the corner. This will help in having him sign a contract extension at Villa despite being one of the top keepers in the world based on past 12 months. So he could just not sign a contract extension and in 20 months time he's with an elite Champions League club 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Jimenez will be a bigger miss to Wolves than Martinez will be for us (I think). They don't score many goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This week has been Martinez's coming out party. Even the most casual football fan knows about him now. I'm not sure we can even afford what his wage should be for his next contract. A Top 5 GK makes on average in excess of £200K per week. May have to just enjoy him while he is here.

I don't think we should underestimate the importance of us being the club to put faith in him and help him establish himself as Argentina #1 which he has proven is very important to him. He must know that if he goes to a top club to compete with a Mendy or Alisson or Ederson, he risks losing that spot. He's guaranteed to start every game for us when fit and available, which isn't necessarily the case elsewhere. He's tasted life at a "big club" that didn't consider him automatic #1, and he didn't like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we could offer around their but honestly that's still an insulting offer for a keeper as talented as Emi. We probably need to come in around 200k but even then that puts Emi over a 100k less than De Gea who he is easily on par with from a talent perspective. If he goes to the World Cup and performs even just half the heroics we see every week then he will be a guaranteed starter for any club in the world. The big clubs if Europe can offer him everything we can and wages that would give us a nose bleed even thinking about. Love the guy but given his current trajectory he is probably the next big money sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is from a while ago, but I didn't see it. But damn what a man. Hope we can keep him for a long time, he wants to stay too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently only 7 Premier League clubs are more than 50% double jabbed. It's an awful ratio and hopefully we are one of those 7.... But the odds would say he's likely not jabbed as the majority of the league aren't. But yes, hopefully he is and hopefully this saves him since quarantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, I don't necessarily think that the clubs who could afford to spend what Martinez will command (both in transfer fee and wages) particularly need a goalkeeper. A lot of those goalkeepers appear set long term. It was a bit bizarre to hear him linked to Atletico a few months back given they have Jan Oblak, arguably the greatest keeper in the world at the moment, who is younger than Emi. It's not like City buying our best player to be their 6th top quality attacking midfielder. Teams don't need 2 top quality goalkeepers.

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think @MaVilla is talking about the league game. He wasn’t the best in that. He played really well in the cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
