Emi Martinez

[Tuscans]

Aston Villa club sources have made it clear Emi Martínez will not be allowed to leave for €6/7m — they’ve asked for a higher fee, & see him as one of the world’s best keepers. They’re also happy to keep him.

I believe that noise I hear is Fabrizio back-pedalling.

He's gone from being somewhat reliable at the beginning to a bit of a look at me twat. All these breaking news types are some degree. I still Ornstein and Tanswell, the Athletic as they are bit more measured when they come out with something. They can be wrong also but they are not flashing some big Here We Go bollocks.

Well, good. Because letting Martinez go on the cheap would be stupid.

Yes, absolutely stupid.

So stupid, in fact, that I really do have to wonder how such rumours manage to get any traction what-so-ever, given that everyone and their dog knows about Villa's battles with the various financial rules over the last several years.

Ultimately he goes nowhere unless the price is met. Anything else is just noise. In keeper terms and his value to us I wouldn’t accept anything less than £30m but that entirely depends on length of contract and whether we’re willing to negotiate.

Oh and Juventus can keep making all the noise they want, pay the money or shut the fuck up you skint pricks.

I see no value in us selling him unless it’s a ridiculous offer. He leaves too big of a gap.
