Emiliano Martinez - World Cup winner and officially best keeper in the world

[darren woolley]

I want to keep Emi at all costs he's a brilliant keeper the best we have had for a very long time.

Best keeper in Europe.

Off to Yanited in the summer apparently. Shame, it was nice while it lasted. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

Henderson + how much to be forced into a deal? 
I could be swayed for Henderson + £20m, total value about £40m.

No thanks. Emi stays unless he says he wants to go and then I’d want at least £70m.

He's going nowhere. We should be asking how much they want for Fernandes, rather than negotiating the best way to make ourselves look second rate again.

This, all day long. Tell them if they want a keeper, Fernandes plus £25m gets them a phone call with Jed Steer.

Emi is not going anywhere but if someone wants to pay silly money than we start at Alison Becker price and move up. So somewhere between 90 and 100.

Best Bozzie performance was at Roker Park in the League Cup. We got absolutely battered and yet we won 4-1. Took an eternity to get back too.

Blood hell Ads that was 1993 you must have been 6 or 7 travelling up there for a midweek game?

I'd have been 7. We watched an absolutely bobar film on the coach on the way back called Strays about killer house cats.

We had to go to Arsenal on the coach to continue the luck and got into Highbury just in time to see Dalian score dead early.

Was 13 coming back on chauffers coaches with Karl - happy days indeed.

He’s not wrong though
For about 12 months he was one of the best keepers I’ve ever seen at Villa

If Alisson was £65m, then the conversation for Emi has to start there, plus a premium because we don't need to sell.  I don't think there is a goalkeeper in the world right now that I would see as a significant upgrade on him.  It doesn't really matter how much money we got for him, because it would be almost impossible to strengthen the goalkeeping position if we lost him, so I'd hope any call gets a definitive "thanks, but no thanks".

If we're serious about top 4, then Emi has to be in the Jack 'keep at all costs' bracket.

Exactly this for me too.

Awful kicking again, cost us the game.

[JuanMartinez]

Thought his kicking was fine tonight.

[aj2k77]

Tried to be too clever with the clearance. Should have just leathered the fucker.

[ChicagoLion]

The one that set up the first goal was brilliant

[nigel]

His clearance, for their first, was a pass, but he looks to have scuffed his kick or not got enough on it. Mora reacted quicker than our guy so we were immediately under pressure. I thought Mora had blew his chance by not attempting to lob it towards goal.
Hindsight, he should have belted it
