I dont think spurs could afford him and i dont think he woukd be interested going there woth his links at arsenal too. But i agree cant see many clubs paying what we would want for him luckily enough. I think the Moroccan keeper is going to be in high demand and a lot cheaper I don't think they'd pay what we would demand, which could be as high as £80m as we have no reason to sell, and he is on a long contact. There will be much cheaper options for Spurs, possibly someone like Oblak who's contract is running down and seems to want a new challenge.

When Emery was sacked from Arsenal, Martinez was one of the few players that thanks him on social media. Don't think he'd have done that if they had a bad relationship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 His profile is huge at the moment, just having him around may be seen as a pull to potential signings in a similar way that having Grealish did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually be more devastated if we lost Emi than I was when we lost Jack. Elite goalkeepers are as rare as hens' teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might think the joke hasn’t landed but no point thinking about it beyond that. Edit: @sparrow1988 just said a similar thing, sorry, will teach me to read to the end of the thread! It definitely hasn't landed then Is this what passes for comedy now? Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we really need to step up though to keep him. He is tasting so much glory with Argentina in the last two years. We cant just continue to finish 12th and expect to keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I wonder if there are wider ramifications should Argentina win on Sunday. Internally it would surely be a source of huge inspiration for both the experienced pro’s and the youth coming through to see a World Cup winners’ medal in the dressing room. Externally it could be even bigger, if Emi can show the world that you can play for Aston Villa and still win the biggest prize on the planet that could be a big help in us attracting good quality going forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From who? None of the clubs with big money in Europe need a keeper. Bayern are the only ones and are discussing with another keeper. I would agree if there was any clubs needing a keeper but there isn’t, they all have their own top notch keeper at the moment.

Delphinho123 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Can see Chelsea and United being interested. But that's it really. And even then, it would cost upwards of £70m. Great position to be in. I actually think Martinez loves it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I see him stopping another season or two and then if we arent around qualification for some kind of european cup he will want to go . And I would not blame him ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Why will clubs want to buy him all of a sudden after a WC? Surely they will have monitored him in the PL for us over the last 2-3 seasons and would make a decision based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
