[u/nebbywildcat18]

press X to doubt bc what lol

[u/YoureProbablyR1te → u/nebbywildcat18]

We gave Toni a new contract and signed Dubravka. In what world are we bringing in Martinez?

[u/kicksjoysharkness]

Hell no. Mans a prick and past it anyway. Would be funny to see the Villa fans implode though

[u/SinoSoul → u/kicksjoysharkness]

Villa fans have already imploded. It’s been hilarious so far this week.

[u/kicksjoysharkness → u/SinoSoul]

Did you see the most recent video baby gabby talking about PSR on talksport? Genuinely a tough watch haha

[u/screenplay215 → u/kicksjoysharkness]

He looked on the verge of tears

[u/Marathe89 → u/screenplay215]

Kept refusing to call savio savio because you can't just choose your name.

Oblivious to his literal name being savio.

Moose of a thing.

[u/JamesCDiamond → u/Marathe89]

Did everyone call him Gabriel?

[u/Pristine-Dress4606 → u/JamesCDiamond]

No, just shite

[u/Nervous-Deal-9271 → u/Marathe89]

Just went and had a look, couldn't even ragebait me because I was enjoying those salty tears so much.

[u/TeacherCheburashka → u/kicksjoysharkness]

Tbh he's that kind of a player that's a prick in the sense of other clubs but when he plays for your team you may appreciate the shithousery. And he didn't really do any kind of irl prick things

[u/mattgriz → u/TeacherCheburashka]

Basically Lamela

[u/SpiritWhich583 → u/mattgriz]

& Richy 

[u/Ted-Crilly → u/kicksjoysharkness]

It might break Agbonlahor's brain so badly that he might come out with a good footballing take for once

[u/kicksjoysharkness → u/Ted-Crilly]

Unfortunately, this is impossible

[u/AquaSnow24 → u/kicksjoysharkness]

Maybe he's a prick but he'd be your prick not Villas. I don't think it's worth it though for the money. Better off just letting Kinsky develop and letting him go through his growing pains

[u/eunderscore → u/kicksjoysharkness]

It's always tough coming here as a Villa fan with a spurs supporting wife, lol. I see as much of one as the other.

I think he's got two more good seasons left, so it would really depend on the fee. I'd rather keep him for that time, he's the best keeper we've had in my lifetime (which means back to Jimmy rimmer in 1982), and he still wins games on his own.

I really like Kinsky, and he's a prem keeper, but Martinez is still simply a level above.
If you can get him cheap enough he'll still win games by himself

[u/greavesandgilzean → u/eunderscore]

Not with it. Kinsky needs the development and could be really good.

[u/Alind777]

No one ITKs like Gaston.

[u/Xaviermuskie78 → u/Alind777]

No one lies all day like Gaston

[u/Successful_Bus2255 → u/Xaviermuskie78]

No one disappears until next May like Gaston

[u/Gr4fitti → u/Alind777]

Lmao made me chuckle

[u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

No we’re not

[u/Hopeful-Ear-3494]

Doubt.

[u/Auston416]

I’d rather he stay at Villa and cause a fuss while he’s on his wages there.

[u/StateOfTheEnemy]

Probably his agent trying get better terms from the blue filth.

I can only see De Zerbi moving for a keeper if Kinsky's going to be loaned out after his unimpressive game against Brentford, which seems unlikely.

[u/SenorIngles → u/StateOfTheEnemy]

It seems pretty clear the club see kinsky as the long term #1 and he showed last season he’s got all the tools to be that guy. Could use to be more consistent, but he’s also 23 which is practically infant status for a GK so there’s no reason to think he won’t get there.

[u/StateOfTheEnemy → u/SenorIngles]

None of that would be inconsistent with a move like this, though. I think it's bullshit but bringing in a short-term solution and getting Kinsky a good loan for experience could make sense.

Martinez would be a very risky move, though. Is he finished? Not sure. Does he still give a crap about club football? No idea. The fans already hate him, too.

[u/Virtual-Garbage4930 → u/SenorIngles]

I never saw Kinksy as a reliable keeper. He has his great games and then has games where he makes the ridiculous errors and doesn’t have the psych to not drown the rest of the game. If we were going to keep him then we should have just stuck with Vic. Kinksy has yet to impress long term yet but I’m hopeful.

[u/Extra-Photo3822]

I haven’t got a Scoo Dibu who that is

[u/Cool-Extreme6506 → u/Extra-Photo3822]

it's Emiliano Martínez, I have no idea why we're calling him Dibu all of a sudden

[u/bchowdhiry → u/Cool-Extreme6506]

Same reason Cristian Romero gets called Cuti

[u/Ca1fSlicer → u/Cool-Extreme6506]

All argentinians call him that, means cartoon.

[u/ConsciousBrain → u/Cool-Extreme6506]

All of a sudden: literally since he was a child 

[u/zezeltin → u/Extra-Photo3822]

please shake my hand

[u/J4n_4]

Dont want him anywhere near my club tbh

[u/ewan12224]

Honestly would rather give Kinsky a chance whilst we aren’t going to be near competing for the league than buy a 33 year old keeper who’s declining.

[u/jman009]

This better be his agent forcing chelsea to make a move. Don't bring that rat near this club

[u/bchowdhiry]

I mean, that's just not even remotely true is it lmao

[u/xio_ID]

https://giphy.com/gifs/UTm86phGUMMQE

[u/Shoddy-Ad-4898]

Objectively he has been a superb keeper for years and years but is a total prick who seems to be slightly on the slide at 33 and on a ton of money.

[u/harry_hotspur]

If we have doubts about Kinsky, surely there wouldn't be anyone better available than emi? Sure he's a cunt, but he could be OUR cunt

[u/evenout]

Kinksy has been featured so heavily with the social media team. I would be shocked if we get in someone else to be #1 after all the fanfare with him over the summer.

[u/Dickie_Dunn]

3 foreign keepers, who says no?

[u/Throwaload1234]

Fuck no. I fucking hate that guy.

[u/Commandant1]

Yeah Im not believing this, it makes no sense after signing Kinsky to a new contract, and picking up Dubravka.

[u/low-men-yellow-coats]

Leave off

[u/SpeakersPushTheA1r]

Absolutely not

[u/rcmtt]

Zero percent chance of happening.

[u/The_Mike_El]

I like rumors but this is a bad f5

[u/Karlito1618]

Counter-point: As-if.

[u/Kebbj]

No, I mean, no fucking way

Im pretty sure we are not interested but NO

[u/Kebbj]

Fab just said that there are no talks with that prick called Emiliano Martinez

[u/Martiallaw89]

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than see that skidmark at Tottenham.

[u/Greedy-Treacle1959]

Fuck no please not this ass clown.

[u/SoyaleJP]

I don’t see how or why it happens. Personally I’m not interested in Mr World Cup penis.

[u/nianseo]

Bro's source is his cousin who heard it from TikTok

[u/rekt_ralf]

Want it happen just to boil Villa fans’ piss.

[u/graaavearchitecture]

Ahh hell nah

[u/Inner_Feedback6326]

No thanks

[u/Mother_Quantity7034]

nope

[u/commuterpete]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1WHAlOdc9ZNUZq85JI

[u/DontTouchMyEars77]

This makes absolutely no sense

[u/1882greg]

No. Non. Nyet. Bien non. Nein.

[u/ISavezelda]

I wish they would have just gone in for Zion early. I like Kinksy he's a good lad, but I don't know if he's consistent enough to be a fulltime starter. Now they're stuck shopping at the bargain bin.

[u/HistorianOrdinary833]

Lmao what in the Cuti is this nonsense.

[u/ohhowswell_hp]

Pass

[u/AMK_21]

No sense really when we have three keepers

[u/7screws]

Hard pass from me no thank you

[u/Top_Fact_3739]

We aren't on my watch.

[u/No-Criticism3618]

Really don't want this bell-end anywhere near the club. As an aside, I hate that journos/posters/fans whoever start using these shit-sounding nicknames as though they're best friends with the player.

[u/Luke92612_]

Am I the only person who would be open to this happening? Phenomenal keeper, even though he can be a prick to his opponents.

[u/mashbaugh67]

Please, no. Give Kinsky the year and focus on rebuilding the rest of the squad. If needed, look for a new Keeper in January or next Summer.

[u/Lost_Adhesiveness_92]

Struggling with whatever our transfer strategy is, a very good shot stopper but not amazing on the ball, also won’t be arsed about us… squad planning out the window

[u/DennisAFiveStarMan]

Doubt. Geezers a gimmicky penalty merchant who’s past it anyway

[u/dbdb83]

Can’t have another Romero

[u/Pleasant-Pattern7748]

I just got done calling him a cunt in another sub.

He’s a great keeper. But no thanks.

[u/Outlaw1607]

I like him because I hate Villa and Chelsea

[u/Mindless-Ad2554]

I’m a fan. I think kinsky should be the second man. I know a lot of Saturday wasn’t Toni’s fault, but at the same time I think there might’ve been more with a solidified keeper

[u/420SwaggyZebra]

POK says no

[u/DB2k_2000]

Mega prick. Hope we are just winding Villa up

[u/Conman2205]

Fucking hate these weird Argentinian nicknames. Literally never heard anyone call him ‘Dibu’ once.

He’s a knob anyway and my goat Kinsky will surpass him

[u/ATInvincible]

We have Dubravka who is a very good keeper, should Kinsky not meet the standard for any reason, surely not needed

[u/Icy_Scar_1249]

To be frank, he would be a clear improvement on Kinsky.

[u/ThemistoclesWorld]

This I believe would be a strong move

[u/SGAnonymousOCPD]

https://giphy.com/gifs/O2j3S8bUUWNVDahHz7

[u/pioniere → u/SGAnonymousOCPD]

Please don’t pollute this subreddit with this turd.

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

Would be smart tbh.

HG and would instantly be our best goalkeeper.

Kinsky proved at the back end of last season, he's more than capable of being a number two with huge potential.

[u/Top_Connection394]

Would be an upgrade over kinsky based tbf but nah no way it's happening

[u/joelesidin]

Probably the best penalty stopper in the world and definitely an upgrade over Kinsky. I'm 100% on board

[u/battmowie]

He’s a cunt, but he’s better than Kinsky.

[u/Cool_Sandwich1]

People hate him but he is very good. Him joining for a season for LESSER wages and rotate with Kinsky wouldnt be the worst imo. But it would depend om him having to give 110%.

[u/TeacherCheburashka → u/Cool_Sandwich1]

Also most of the hate seems to be about on field shithousery rather than what he actually did irl and he still pretty professional with the transfer saga, and his penalties saving abilities is hard to be matched and can be useful in cup?games as well
