Top keepers are hard to find and he is in the top 5 in the world at the moment I think utd will make a big bid fof him in the summer. Is this the same Utd linked to being taken over by Qatar. If this is the case i wouldnt entertain any bids less than 100m. Take them to the cleaners. Edited February 11, 2023 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2023 All those saying the top clubs already have good keepers. This is how they stay top clubs. If we assume Emi is in the top 3 keepers in the world now, a top club will want to move forwards even if they already have a great keeper. It's all about small gains at that level to keep ahead of ferocious competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Jack left I no longer build any form of connection to players. If they're good they'll end up leaving. Best not to get too attached My concern is how many years of shit keepers we had before him and what we'd end up signing... We are not getting 75 million for Emi, probably get 40-50 million for him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. He goes to a club who have what everyone agrees is a great keeper but the manager feels Emi is slightly better. Hence they're moving incrementally forwards. Not sure how my post gave you the impression he goes there to be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City signed a guy on a free, Arsenal got a guy from MLS and Spurs have Fraser Forster. United have took 2 keepers on loan this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't go second choice, he replaces the already top keeper as he's seen as better. He's up for the FIFA World award FFS. I think he's much higher rated elsewhere than on VT.

Spurs for example arent going to pay Lloris 200k a week to be Number 2 The only top goalkeeper position thats free is United or maybe Atletico and I dont think his sweeping is that good for ETH style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ederson, Alison, Courtois, Ramsdale, De Gea, Donnarumma etc. Emi is in the same class as them but not materially better to pay the huge fee he would command hence why I can only seeing Chelsea as an option and even then I’m not convinced they’ll be looking Emi’s way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance he goes to Chelsea, they have the current holder of the FIFA best GK and the world record fee for a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only 2 keepers, you know they need 5 players for each position The only reason I leave Chelsea as the unknown is down to they are Chelsea and very unpredictable at the moment. As I said though in a previous post, I think it’s highly unlikely he leaves, I just don’t currently see a destination for him with the barrier of either current keeper or cost depending on which club is mentioned.

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. The people in for Pickford would also be in for Martinez in that scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I think Pickford could end up at Spurs and he will see it as a step up, which it is. Emi won't leave for Spurs, he wants to win something not just battle to get CL football, he hasn't got time for that. If I was putting money on it, I'd say he's likely to end up at Bayern. Neuer is turning 37 next month, he's currently out with a broken leg after going skiing during the mid-season break which is usually not allowed but I have no idea if Bayern approved it. Bayern have since sacked their goalkeeper coach who is a good friend of his and he then went and blasted the club in a public interview. He could be stripped of the captaincy and fined up to 2m euros. If they decide to part ways in the summer I think this is Emi's best chance.

They don't keep both. They sell the other one and the gap between fees is manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
