Just dropped by to tell you just how good a keeper you’re getting in Emi Martinez. (Can confirm the deal is 100% done!) We’re gutted to be losing him but we need to sell to raise funds for signings - we can’t afford to have two £20m+ rated keepers. One thing worth mentioning - he’s the best keeper I’ve ever seen in terms of claiming crosses. It’s like he’s got superglue on his gloves! Wishing you all the best for the season ahead! Gareth aka @AerialThreat (Twitter) Thanks pal, we have an even better keeper available if you can pulls any strings down there, we have 2 actually, good luck to ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had bad luck with keepers who just love to punch or slap the ball rather than catch it. What's his distribution like? I personally feel like his distribution is better than Leno’s. Emi is very comfortable with the ball at his feet even when he’s being closed down. You just can’t play for Arteta if you aren’t. He’s a real presence and really settled our defence after the restart. His size will surprise you as will his agility. He made a save from Mahrez in the FA Cup semi where he just snapped down on the spot to block the attempt - brilliant. Try and track that down if you can.

Gareth aka @AerialThreat (Twitter) thanks mate, gotta say i was impressed with his performances towards the end of last season. Really hope that reflects his overall ability. From what i hear there was strong debate on the Arsenal forum around whether Leno or Martinez should have been ur no1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of game time is a concern to us, but this all sounds very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans think we’ve sold the wrong guy, but there is an emotional attachment to Emi that drives a lot of that because he’s been with us since he was a kid. I think Leno is probably the better keeper - mainly due to having proved it over a longer period of time - but it’s close. As others have said on here - the challenge for Emi is to now prove, as a first choice, that he can maintain his performance levels. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) I cringe a bit when i hear people saying keepers being good "shot stoppers" Isn't that their job? Isn't that what they are supposed to do and is payed for? Edited September 13, 2020 by villalad21 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Very happy we’ve got Martinez in. We are markedly improved with Martinez, Heaton, and Steer as our goalkeeping options. We just need find new clubs for Nyland and Kalinic now. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
