Emi Martinez

He's definitely tainted his reputation and standing as a Villa player in my eyes. I can accept players wanting to better themselves but pushing for a move to a club who haven't qualified for Europe, aren't likely to, have a manager massively under pressure and finished miles off the pace is just wrong. He's been a part of the unsettling atmosphere that has spilled over in to a disastrous start to the season. A great goalie, but no longer a great Villain for me.

The only caveat is that we may well have instructed him to do so as we needed the dosh.
