Emi Martinez

[Russ aka Big Nose]

So which keepers are we keeping then?

Other than Martinez, I suspect it might be more of which keepers will other people want?

Heaton unlikely to move this window as he is injured, but a club might want him in January or next summer assuming he is on the bench.

As for the others - our preference might be to shift Kallinic and Nyland and to keep Steer, but that might have to change if there is more interest in Steer than one of the other two. UTV

Steer does hold an advantage being English

Its just dawned on me that we have spent £36m on keepers in the past couple of years. Fuck me hopefully that is the position sorted now for the next decade or so.

Well done Emi. Called up by Argentina

And much are all of their salaries costing?
I know it’s not our money, but bloody hell our goalie wages bill must be astronomical.

Aston Villa: International makers. Martinez, Luiz, Wesley, Mings, Grealish.

Today’s burning question.  ‘Is the Chelsea keeper worth 3.5 Emi’s?

I'd love to know the actual thought process going into signing Kalinic. I get the impression DS never rated or wanted him, given he played about 5 games and didn't look convincing (but nowhere near as bad as Nyland looked months before) then was subbed at half time v West Brom and was never seen again. Didn't even play in the league cup early last season

Guess he was one we previously had on file in some desk due to not getting a work permit in 15/16 and Suso got a hard on when he saw Kalinic played for a Belgium club but that's a pretty disappointing 7m down the drain plus allegedly a very decent weekly wage.

I don't actually think we'll have an issue moving on Nyland as there was talk of Bundesliga interest a few weeks back so someone will probably take him for a couple of million.

Tomorrow's burning question: Did we or Sheffu get better value from their new keeper?

8 goals conceded in your first three games in the Championship is pretty woeful.  He was absolutely dismal against Wigan, and he seemed really, really slow to get down to the ball.

I get the impression we had already made a commitment to signing him before Smith had chance to have a proper look at him.

Debut tonight. Hope it’s a better one than Tom Heaton last year. What a nightmare start and so unnecessary.

I think it was Kevin Poole that was in goal for us that day in 1986 - the Hodge game.  Someone shouted 'CLEAN SHEET TODAY KEV' to which we got a resounding thumbs up response.  I think we were 3 down in half an hour including said treacherous moment.
