Emi Martinez

[Drummond]

He's been a big part of getting us where we are. QF Champs League, maybe we'd have gone further with a different keeper. SF FA Cup was the chance to win something.

I just hope we meet him in the Champions League next season, and smash the fuck out of him. Or that he clears off to Saudi for big money.

Hang on, who has said that he has asked to leave?

[Monty]

Presumably he asked to leave after he heard the clubs who were interested in him, and presumably if he's after immediate trophies those don't include Man U fucking Nited.

Vidagany’s teenage son is in the same year as my lad at school. He’s told my lad this week that Emi has asked to leave.
Question is whether a teenager is anymore reliable than footballer insider.

From what ive been told this is accurate. He is listening to offers directly at the moment but no club has directly approached us (yet)

[Clampy]

In that case, it must be true. Case closed.

[Dave]

In that case, it must be true. Case closed.

Nobody has said that it's true. I simply answered the question that you asked.

But unless you think nothing should ever be discussed until it's on the official site, I think it's fine to talk about it, don't you?

If we need a sale for PSR and he is volunteering it is what it is. Better that than a points deduction or selling Bouba for peanuts. Assuming he doesn't go somewhere else in England.

If we have PSR under control and this is an unexpected request to leave it is pretty disappointing as it feels like we are on the cusp of something great only to be set back by a key departure, which is kind of our story for as long as I can remember.

I'm hoping we will make the top 5, renew Bouba, sign Rashford, extend Watkins & Mings, squeeze through PSR somehow and Emi will do an 'I'm not leaving' u-turn. Then we win the league and everyone's happy.

That works for me.

There’s not many clubs where you can guarantee trophies

Probably just Birmingham City in two years time.

Yeah, I know you were answering the question.

I didn't notice it yesterday when the new kit launched, but there was a separate email about the keeper's kit and it's just pictures of the jersey, not a human to be seen in it. Not even Gauci!

Hang on, who has said that he has asked to leave?

Damian Vidagany's son to Rambo and Bruno's son.  Not that Rambo and Bruno have the same son.  But you know what I mean.

Aston Villa Football Club a pointé et approché Lucas Chevalier comme remplaçant tout désigné en cas de départ d’Emiliano Martinez cet été!

Zank evoans for leedle gurls

We will be livin in the sunlight if this one comes off.

He's particularly effective in knight games.
