“ However, there is one standout performer in Europe this season that is Martínez.”

Love that!

Does help that Martin Laurence is a Villa fan, though you can't argue with the analysis.

50 saves for 14 clean sheets compared to Mendy's 16 saves for 13 clean sheets. An incredible difference.

Better than Puskas, even his aura makes me warm and fuzzy!

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.

I could be swayed into telling them to eff off. He's another that needs a new, fatter contract. It's shit having all these good players.

I wouldn’t settle for anything less than £80 million. Some of the keepers going for £50 million plus he is easily worth more than that.

He’s not going anywhere. And if De Gea or Allison or Kepa are worth £70m then Emi is twice that.

We should be looking at total fees of around £200m if we let him and Grealish go. Which I don't think we will.

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

Man United want him?

Ok - the best strikers in the league cost over £100mil, I assume the best keeper would cost that too....

I really doubt they do.  They’ve an experienced, but wobbly, pro in de Gea and one of the best youngsters around.  I don’t think their gain would justify the expense.

No way they’re spending the money we would want - and could easily justify based on the comparables around - on a goalkeeper. Even if we were a selling club (or a club that could be pushed around) which I don’t believe we are anymore.
