Make her an offer that no entrepreneur could possibly refuse. Vice presidency of the Tamworth Rotarians.

It's time to caga o quítate de la taza.

Shares in Bolehall Swifts should be enough to swing it.

What him and his wife living in different countries with young kids?

No I just meant that if he's going he's going, that she has opened a shop or two wont make any difference, they can afford to close, take the hit and open another one in another country.

Or more likely, just hire someone to manage a shop for her.

I still think he'll end up at Old Trafford
I really hope not for obvious reasons

Well we know he really likes the showers there as he couldn't wait to get back in them last time he visited.  >:(

I think he will too, and he won't look much better than Onana does behind their defence.

He will fit right in with his time wasting and gamesmanship. Lets be honest his behaviour is really annoying, and if he had been at another club we would all think he was a giant arse.

I'm still pissed off about the sending off, so maybe that colours my judgement but I think we can replace him without much problem. He has been great for us, but has been off form for a season now and I can see why we would cash in.

I don't think I've ever really thought his behaviour has been that bad on the whole in regards to his general game-to-game behaviour. It always feels a little overplayed to me. Maybe I'm deluded.

Edit: Fucking moron last game, mind.

I don’t think we will replace him easily
He’s the best I’ve seen and I’ve been going up there 50 years, so to think we’re just gonna bring someone in of the same standard is a stretch

Goalkeepers are the biggest myth in football
Everyone thinks you can just get away with someone that’s half decent when in fact they are the most important player on the pitch
Without Emi we wouldn’t have seen European football for the last three seasons on the trot

Yeah, I know he wasn’t as good last season so he was probably only worth five points to us whereas the seasons before 10 points

For someone who has gone off form, he did win save of the season.

He had some amazing moments, but was a bit inconsistent.  Kind of like the team (last 10 or so games aside).

So on that aspect, we should be cashing in on everyone then.

I think hell end up at Man Utd (I really hope not) - but well then boo him and be told to know our place and what can you expect when Man Utd come calling

Whoever comes in is likely to be a significant downgrade.  We have an amazing manager, and a well respected leadership team - so I'm sure if it happens (and I hope it doesnt) - they will give us the best chance of replacing him with minimial disruption but I think we shouldnt be under any doubt about how much we'll miss him. 

He is one of our key leaders too - and proven winner and I think that is something we have lacked in the biggest games.

I don't know why some people seem so convinced he's off to Man Ure.
