Emi Martinez

[kippaxvilla2]

He will easily be reintegrated this sort of shit happens all the time.  I blame Man United more than him.  I for one will overlook everything if he stays because as sure as eggs are oeufs, Bizot is not the current answer!

If life just gives you lemons, then make some lemonade. Go make some, Emi.

[Brazilian Villain]

Sounds like Man Utd have got Lemmens.

Finally some good news. "The World's Number 1, the World's Number 1, Emi Martinez, the World's number 1....."

[TaxDodger]

I hope he gets pelters from the Holte if he plays for us again. He pissed all over the club over the last few days.

[Crown Hill]

I wonder if Martinez is sat in his car outside Old Trafford.

With Tina?

So… first things first. A lot to digest here.

Option A: Man Utd sign both
Option B: Man Utd sign Lemmens and leave Emi
Option C: Lemmens falls through at the last minute.
Option D: This was all agent speak to get Emi an improved contract at Villa.

I think B is looking most likely.

I’m wondering how much of the Man Utd twerking was actually agent speak. We know he was seen at the kids football match yesterday and may have made some comments about leaving. However, there’s not really been any advances on that.

I suspect Emi’s behaviour will have left a really sour taste in the mouths of the players that do want to be here. And it could have divided the changing room even more, especially in light of Ramsay leaving.

Do we assume that Emi is a victim of agents pushing agendas? Or if he actually did want to leave (Fabrizio Wrongmano said he really wanted to leave!)? And how on earth he builds himself back into the squad from here on in? Whether it was him or not, agent driven or not, it’s hard to see him coming back in straight away. In fact it’s hard to see how he can rebuild a relationship with the team, let alone the fans.

Messy. Very messy.

He has been well and truly shafted by United

[RamboandBruno]

JFC, what a royal fuck up. He’s going to look a right twat back in training. As much as i have loved him, does him (potentially) staying, still leave an unsettled dressing room.

[kippaxvilla2]

Man United were playing all along - they wanted the Antwerp guy and used Mr Martinez as bait to get him at the cheap price they wanted.

[Goldenballs]

If he stays he'll obviously have to go straight back into the team, Bizot looked a bit of a mess yesterday.

Dunno what he was doing running forward for the Guehi goal, there was only one place he was going to try and put it. Likely wouldn't have saved it anyway, but strange decision making. The third, I've no idea what that dive was, a sort of flying ball facing the wrong way. Very strange effort.

Romano now saying “Galatasaray”

Sounds like a Harry Potter spell.

[danno]

What a chump

[Matt C]

Wonder how much his agents are paying Romano.

[martin o`who??]

Really disappointed in him. I  thought he had more about him than to leave us like this. I honestly don't know how I'll react when he comes back. You can guarantee he'll be telling them everything about us when he does so I think I probably just answered that one. Stabbed us in the back by the sound of it. He's joined the Delph/Downing/Bosnich/Hodge set in my eyes. 
Reason #147 to hate the shower of shit at Old Trafford.

If it now turns out the move is off how the hell is this going to affect our dressing room. I wish he'd gone. Bizot looks an adequate replacement.

[ajmant]

Bizot looks far from adequate to me
