Saudi or nothing for him now it seems..................... emi emi emi, what have you done!
Then unless we really do have something surprising lined up to replace him, it is better being nothing surely?  Get everyone back together after the break and have one almighty "get it off your chest" session.  Bizot is a big upgrade on Olsen, and herd to judge him on last night's weird circumstances, but he's not going to be no. 1 surely.

If we have someone like Edison or Costa lined up though - then he can do one!

If we don't get a keeper in the next few hours Emi will be starting vs Everton.

I have no idea if GIFs are allowed on here and I don’t want to break the rules, but this feels appropriate.

I wouldnt blame here. his kids will have grown up here given how long he has played here.

I do expect her businesses were a reason for looking to stay in this country rather then elsewhere, plus both have probably spent at least half their lives in this country as well.

I know it's a footballer's life to move around, but his family seem very settled in the UK, businesses, schools, kids football clubs... going to man utd they probably wouldn't move - but Turkey is a bit different.

Well, he probably now hates Man Utd as much as we do.

Like I said yesterday on here, while he’s a Villa player, I’ll love him and support him. If he leaves then he’ll be totally dead to me and I’ll wish him the worst misfortune in a footballing sense. Lots of varying comments on here about him and the circumstances leading to the fiasco yesterday but I’ve not heard him say anything about wanting away or refusing to play for us. I guess it’s what you want to believe. Did Emery drop him because the club wanted rid?? Or did he say I’m not playing because I want out?? We don’t know so all the rat talk should maybe wait until we do.

There will be an interview, Emi sat of sofa, with wife and kids. Toughest decision of my life, would have been a hard decision, put my family's future at the heart of what I need to do.... yadda yadda yadda

I think he will go to Galatasaray or Saudi but is waiting until after the deadline expires here so he can fuck us over one last time.

And we will still have some fans on here defending him...
