Emi Martinez

[LeeB]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What a fucking dickhead.

So we are left with a goalie wanting to move but no club to go to and its transfer deadline day - and thats a laugh?

Oh fuck off with that.

Would the Turkish team only want Emi on a season long loan deal?

[OzVilla]

This is like on Love Island when Curtis, who was in a stable relationship with Amy, went all in on some random girl he barely knew in Casa Amor and got rejected for some other guy, forcing him to come crawling back to Amy.

I might have to take your word on that one.

Saved me the bother, thanks Lee.

If we take an amalgam of the very believable  Vinnie and X posts, then we can infer that Watkins, Martinez, Rogers and JJ were told (in January?) that one of them would have to be sold to meet the financial rules.

It seems that JJ didn’t want to leave, but you can hardly blame the other 3 if they looked into all the options.

Imagine working for a company and being told that one out of four of you will be let go - but we are not going to tell you which one for another 8 months

[OzVilla]

Well I’m delighted he’s staying….for now.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

no chance... bizot's got the gloves now, until he makes a howler

He may not have made a howler as such, but he didn't give the impression of a decent goalkeeper last night.

palace are our Kryptonite, Lev Yashin would look like prime enklemen against those boys if he played for Villa. I've over it already.

[ozzjim]

Tomorrow morning if he's still a villa player he needs to front it up, this squad needs to heal and pull together.

If I was EMI - I would be sacking my agent

[Brazilian Villain]

Tomorrow morning if he's still a villa player he needs to front it up, this squad needs to heal and pull together.

He'll be away for a week or two with Argentina anyway. When he comes back he can put his head down and get on with it.

[pauliewalnuts]

To be totally honest, I too had started to think the Belgian dude would be the preferred option than a pissed off Martinez

I love Emi and am sad it has come to this, but at the same time, he is definitely on a downward curve.

On the bright side, I don't think he's likely to throw his toys out of the pram.

[SoccerHQ]

Bizot is the Olsen replacement. On the bench last night were youth keepers.

He will have to be reintegrated into the squad and everyone will have to get on with it.

What I will say though is 100% he is going in January as it feels untenable now to have first choice players just spending all summer wanting to move.

[OzVilla]

This could go one of 2 ways. Pissed off Emi or an Emi with something to prove.

[PeterWithe]

On the bright side, I don't think he's likely to throw his toys out of the pram.

Unless I've missed something, and that is always a distinct possibility, he's got no reason to has he? He wanted to go and it seems we would have let him.

[Drummond]

He'll go to Turkey or Saudi now.

The question is, who do we replace him with? Ederson?
