John Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I see that Harry Rednapp has included Emi in his team of the weekend (as well as Mings, Moreno and Ramsey - I always thought that Harry knew his stuff). He said of Emi, “Villa have been in great form recently and Emi Martinez has been at the heart of it, he’s got to be in my side, his distribution was top-class against Bournemouth, and he dealt with everything that came his way. There’s not many better keepers in the league when he’s in this form.” None perhaps Harry, in the PL or anywhere else in the world?

Was about to post similar to this, nothing suggests he wants to leave for "better" things any time soon. We don't need the money so no reason for any panic when Levy comes in with £50 plus Lloris offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an established and proven top level goalkeeper, he's in his prime, he has years on his contract, he's just won the world cup and has been officially named the world's best goakeeper. Now I actually think his reputation is greater than his ability. But regardless, if somebody want to buy Martinez then there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't be a world record fee (for a keeper) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hope in "hopes for many more years" is basically whether we progress quick enough. If we look at what Emery has done so far I don't see him changing his mind on that one this season. Nor then the season after if we qualify for Europe. Its about constant progression. A silly money bid is the only way he's moving, and even then I doubt he'd force the matter.

He really doesn’t want to uproot them so I don’t think theres any chance he goes abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If we sold Emi this summer I’m confident it would be for £70M+. He’s FIFA’s number one keeper for the year, a World Cup winner on a long contract and us with no desire to sell. It would have to be a mammoth offer for him to leave, and there’s precedent already with Chelsea spending big on keepers. Look at what £50M gets you these days, of course he’d go for more.

And he isnt a fish out of water in england as he has spent his whole adult life here. He met his wife in the Uk. She has her business here . The kids will have been brought up speaking English . Never say never but its not going to be the likes of Spurs who could turn his head. It would be one of the big big teams . A bayern a barcelona a psg a juventus or milan .
