mikeyjavfc Posted June 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2022 Emi is living the dream with breaking in to Argentina first team, lifting the Copa America and now heading into a World Cup as one of the favourites. All of this was achieved playing for villa so I think he can appreciate how good this move has been for him and won’t want to leave yet. Next year he might start think about reaching the top tiers of club football but hopefully we can progress in line with his ambition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will want to play Champions League at some point, he's only 29 so still has time. If we don't start progressing towards Europe I can see him moving on in a couple of seasons.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 If we don't qualify for Europe next season then perhaps he will rethink his future? I also agree Argentina must be favourites, with France as outside bets. Would love Emi Martinez to win the World Cup as a Villa player! Do we think he could be Captain for us next season, I seem to be thinking that is likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I'm hoping that if he's settled, playing well and playing internationally that might just be enough to keep him (if we don't get into Europe). With how he talks about his past loans and playing time, how unhappy he was at certain points, maybe playing and being happy is his main goal? Do you move and potentially have it not work out? Or stay where you and your family are finally settled whilst hitting certain career targets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 If any of the top 6 do come in for him then it's just to weaken us as they won't have any need for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has other attributes that make him perfect for us but not for the very top teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 32 minutes ago, duke313 said: Where are you getting that figure from? right now, as he just signed a 5 year deal, probably £70m is right for an argentine no1 and a top PL keeper in peak age. Next season that will be £50m. Season after, probably much lower - he will be 32 but we would not have to sell as he would still have 3 years remaining. If he stays long term - great. If he doesn't, we are getting the big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All them except Juventus have probably better or just as good keepers now though Onana at Inter will be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single interview I've seen with him - whether Villa official or elsewhere - he basically can't speak highly enough of being at Villa. I'd be amazed if anyone matched our valuation of him and amazed if he actively pushed for a move elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
