Noticeable that he came to claim crosses vs. Bournemouth. That’s been missing from his game in recent weeks/months. UTV

Agreed - he was much more decisive and it really helped the defence.

If Emi did move, I wouldn’t be distraught if we replaced him with Kepa.

Looked a good keeper this season away from Chelsea.

If we were to sell Emi, then we’d need a clear £25m profit after the new keeper has been signed to justify the risk.

Like SJM, I think he offers more than just his performances on the pitch.  He is our arrogance and a proven winner, which would be very hard to replace.  ..not a bad keeper too.

Best performance in a while. Much more commanding.

Yes. He did his job today!

That's his job.

Mings is another one who offers more than just the on-pitch.

No, no, no, no, no. No.

I've finally made time to read this thread and I wish I hadn't. I utterly reject all opinions herein expressed.

You seem to know what he's referring to, so you're well ahead of me.

I'm guessing that he is reacting to the odd suggestion that we should cash in on him in the summer. It's just the dismissing of opinions 'herein' looks a bit odd after a series of posts about how important he is.

I think we should sell him. It's easy to replace the best and most famous keeper in the world.
