Emi Martinez

Great goalkeeper who is not as good as he was. Whatever happened with the Man Utd thing needs to be put to bed. Personally I’d let him go and put Bizot in.

And who would you suggest as a back up keeper? Martinez is still the number one.

Bizot has impressed but he's 34, he's not the future.

Exactly, he's perfect as an experienced option to cover whilst we work on developing the youngsters. I really like the look of Proctor and he does appear to be thge one that Emery likes as well.

A pretty young 34 though in terms of games he's actually played - he's played the equivalent of around ten seasons.

I'd be pretty surprised if he leaves when his current (end of next season) deal ends.

Maybe, but the drop off could come at any point when a player hits their mid-thirties, and you don't really want to risk that happening whilst they're your first choice keeper.

Oh sure. But in terms of "the future", he could easily be an important part of our next three or so years.

Ffs. I genuinely assumed he was about 25.
