Emi Martinez

[PeterWithesShin]

From someone with 1.5m followers on Facebook. Don't all laugh at once.

What frustrates me is that Chelsea could of bought Emi Martinez this summer, but because we have a transfer policy of what age to buy the player, we didn’t go for him. Surely a mixture of experienced and young players is what we need. All we have is a lot of good players with potential. We needed winners & experience.

I dunno, if they were chucking £100m at Caicedo and Fernandez they'd probably have given us double that for Emi. At which point he's right, they probably would have got him.

Genuinely surprised me that Chelsea didn't try to buy him, or any other keeper over the summer.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck Chelsea. Every day of the week.

They did give Brighton £25m for Sanchez.

He reminds me of Carson, shots go flying in past where he should be standing.

Fuck Chelsea. Every day of the week.

And twice on Sunday, just to be on the safe side.

As joe_c has pointed out more than once, re Chelsea, it's hard to have any respect whatsoever for a club that wasn't even formed until the 20th century.

Yeah, in Britain that's pretty much unacceptable.

Except when these pricks play us. Last season at Villa Park, Kepa became Dino Zoff. This season Sanchez stopped those shot from Digne and Zaniolo like he was prime Lev Yashin. The fucker has been shit ever since.

When Martinez left Arsenal and signed for Villa he had a choice between moving to us or  Brighton.
Dean Smith convinced him to come to the best and be the best !

Emi Martinez, the Best in the World!

This was class.
Great accolade!

Has Emi been voted best keeper in the world?

You wouldn’t fucking know it if you relied on mainstream media reporting.

[Somniloquism]

No surprise Messi won it again, however I was surprised watching the countdown that Martinez was beaten by another keeper in the Ballon D'or main list

Bounou helping Morocco to the World Cup semi finals with clean sheets against Croatia, Belgium, Spain (even keeping a clean sheet in the penalty shoot out) and Portugal, while also winning the Europa League with Sevilla seems like he's definitely got an argument.

Isn’t his point “well how didn’t Bounou win the Yashine Trophy then”? I thought the same.

Because it's the same hundred people being asked to vote on multiple things.

So if you ask them "who is the best player in the world?", forty of them say Messi, thirty of them say Haaland, ten of them say Mbappe, five of them say Bounou and three of them say Martinez, then Bounou will be higher in their silly rankings than Martinez.

When the same hundred people are asked "who is the best goalkeeper in the world?", and eighty of them say Martinez and five of them say Bounou then Martinez will win the best goalkeeper award.

Although that asks even more questions on why "one nomination" puts someone further towards the top as someone with "five nominations". What other rankings are used?
