Spurs can do.one, they ain't gonna win owt anyway Exactly. He was 70m. Alisson was 60 I think. Martinez is not as good as Alisson, but at the moment his reputation is at that level. There’s no reason if we sold him that the fee shouldn’t exceed both of those fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Chelsea and United both need keepers so perhaps they would pay the sums we would ask for. Only time will tell. I think we’ll get another season out him at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Said it before but I get the impression he cares far more about his international career than club career. As long as he's starring for Argentina, I don't think winning silverware at club level is his top priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could probably leave ar 32, 33 or 34 and still be in his relative " prime " 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Neuer most of the world class keepers are 30 are under. Courtois,Ter Stegen, Allisson, Maignan, Donnarumma etc. Of the starting keepers in the league only Lloris, De Gea, Guaita, Navas and Fabianski are over 30 and I havent seen Navas this season but the other four are average or in Lloris case just shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's true; just to keep it Villa: Brad Friedel was as brilliant well into his thirties as he was in his youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for comparisons of transfer fee’s with Alisson and Kepa you have to remember they were both around 5 years younger at the time. On the hand hand Emi hasn’t really played much football at all until he joined us. I think he will be one of those that will stay at a top level well in to his 30s. Still think his kicking isn’t good enough for one of the big boys though and how they like to play. Edited March 26 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of this is too coincidental and pretty much confirms that Emi Martinez's WC antics are the reason why they're changing the rules... Absolutely ridiculous when the taker can stop in their run up, do stutter steps, take a very slow run up Pogba stye, etc. to try to psych the keeper out. I mean, why even have the goalkeeper in the net at this point if the taker needs the deck stacked even further in their favor. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sore losers complaining. Has to work both ways as you say takers need to have continuous action no stutter. In fact make it like 5 a side 2 steps. The whole mind games makes it great viewing you cannot weight it in favour of one or the other so just leave it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye let’s take away any psychological aspects to the game, while their at might as well ask the crowd to be quiet when the players are taking penalties like a snooker match.

Not only silly but adding more ambiguity that will likely favour elite teams. I mean… delay execution of a penalty will be subjective what the hell does distract the taker mean? What is ok and what isn’t respect? What the hell does that mean We all just know that consistency in decisions is going to be plaguing us in the next few seasons on this just as the ambiguity in the offside rules causes consistency issues. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's surprisingly saved very few penalties for us, can only recall v Sheff United on his debut but perhaps there's another I can't recall. Mind you most of them tend to go in the corners against him like Benrahama last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he saved a couple that were put in as rebounds too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
