ender4 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Sad news. Took us 10+ years to find a great keeper. Still can’t find a decent second keeper. If and when he goes, we’ll waste another £50-100m buying and selling keepers for another 10 years until we find someone good enough again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 That Kelleher is supposed to be decent at Liverpool but I think we’ll go shopping in the Spanish league for our next keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 He speaks truth doesn't he, this summer has to be a very big one transfer wise with real quality coming in for a European push or there will be pressure for several of our best players to move on not just Emi. We have the manager now, he needs to be completely supported with top quality signings coming in to push us into European qualification places. There is no more 5 year plan, there is no more excuses, it's time to put the cash down and get the quality in, or in reality it is never going to happen. So for me Emi is just speaking truth, time to put up or shut up I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people will band around £70m+, but i just dont see it, there are only 2 GK transfers over the 50m mark (Alisson & Buffon), then there was the Kepa deal which was just mental levels of stupid. Realistically, somewhere in the 40-45m bracket? The top keepers hardly ever move, Buffon was 32m back in 2001. If we got 40m for him we would have been raped. Anything less than 70m is a joke for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo Costa at Porto is good as well but it's portugal and it would take a big fee, I'd rather buy from a competitive league. If Everton go down Pickford would be an obvious target too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If we do lose Martinez, I do hope we go for another keeper who was in a similar position as Martinez was. That's how we'll get the best value. That's not going to be Pickford, even if Everton do go down. He's too high profile, too experienced at the top levels.

Emi has 4 years left on his contract, we’re in a very strong position (provided there’s not a release clause I’m unaware of). Completely agree. It’s highly unlikely he leaves in the summer and if he does it’ll be for a huge fee. We are in such a strong position I’m relaxed about it. I think he’ll be here next season.

He’s politely making his position clear, we are not even near where he wants to play. If he continues to have a good season his stock will never be higher, selling him for good money would probably actually the right thing to do, sad as it is. Id prefer him to stay but I don’t want a Jack situation where he’s had his head turned and we ruin an entire transfer window trying to persuade him to stay. If he wants to go, and someone meets the demands (release clause maybe?) then he’ll have to go, just hope the club have made proper plans around a replacement and no knee jerk signings.

TheAuthority Posted February 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2023 We're always talking about buying unestablished players, developing the, and selling them for lots of money. Martinez is the perfect example. He'll go for more than 75 million. Excellent work by the club - we all know in our heart of hearts he's not that amazing. He's very good but not irreplaceable. He doesn't play very well with the ball at his feet and he's a bit of a nutcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
