Emi Martinez

[nigel]

Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez for £45m, though the 32-year-old Argentina goalkeeper is believed to prefer a move to Manchester United. (Mirror)

I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts our season, but if he goes Lucas Chevallier (?) is my preferred replacement

We all know where this ends up.  Yes he signs for Middlesbrough.

[Steve67]

Remember that he’s banned for the first three games.

[OCD]

Just the first one I think.

[Monty]

I love that braindead phrase 'have been offered the chance to sign'. Surely any club that can afford the numbers in question has 'the chance to sign' any player? Genuine morons.

Is he banned for three games?  I thought it was one game for a red card and only three when it is for violent conduct.

One match.

Not too bothered if Emi goes to be honest, Had an average season and that brain fart that gave us little or no chance of beating that load of crap in the last game was nothing short of ridiculous.

Agree with the last sentence, but the first sentence is a re-writing of history!

It wasn't his best season, but he's still an incredible keeper.

[Toronto Villa]

Agreed. His “not as good as before”, 7-8/10 is most keepers 10/10. He’s a magnificent keeper who gained us way more points than he lost. The standards he has set have spoiled us.

[OzVilla]

Whenever he eventually leaves the club he'll be sorely missed and virtually impossible to replace. One of our best signings ever imo.

[ChicagoLion]

But if he joins that horrible bunch of c****

[Pete3206]

Like anyone who leaves us for Newton Heath, they're dead to me.
