Emi Martinez

[Toronto Villa]

There was a difference between Emi’s long accurate clearances and Pickford’s mainly hit and hope clearances

That was very evident. His clearances were very deliberate and precise.

If he/Argies win Sunday , we must be one of very few clubs that's has had a double/consecutive world cup winner on their books at the same time ?

Believe Spurs could also claim this with Romero.

Must be a fair few Brazilians in the 1958 and 1962 squads, that were at the same club for both.

Pele for Santos for example.

Maybe some Italians in the 30s. Mazzola (senior), was he at Inter?

Pickford is awful with the ball at his feet, his kicking is at best average too. The amount of unwarranted praise he was getting for his WC performances baffled me. I think he’s a poor keeper overall.

[VILLA MOLE]

He just comes across as erratic and not very commanding  for me

Mentioned to my mates while watching how comfortable he looked on the ball in comparison to Pickford - night and day. Easy to forget cause he's been here so long (and has had his ups and downs) that we've got one of the best players in the world at his position.

Yes, the one thing above all that makes me nervous about selling him is how vital he is to our outfield play.
