Emi Martinez - The GK who took my No1 Spot at Arsenal...

[@tutornick]

An outstanding individual.. Humble and inspirational. Shows who the real Emi Martinez is... The world's number 1

[@marty1459]

I disagree, he is not anywhere near world number 1. There's a reason he doesn't play for a big team and that reason is he behaves like a twat most games. He is also a very average shot stopper.

Great goalie! I was deeply gutted when he was sold to Villa. Since Lehman, Arsenal have let some of the league's best keepers go for some strange reasons and Martinez is a beast, on a planet on his own. I hope they don't make the same blunder by selling Ramsdale because trust me on this, he would come back to haunt us, the same way Martinez has been doing.

[@EmiMartinezVillaLegend]

So so grateful you did, he’s the best goalkeeper we’ve ever seen down the villa & we absolutely adore him, so glad he found a home where he’s loved it’s because of his performances for Villa that he’s a World Cup & Copa America winner.

Devastated he wasn't allowed to keep Arsenal's #1. FACT he earned it. Yes, Leno was injured but it was taken away from Emi for no reason when he was on fire. Unfortunately for Arsenal it was the right move for Emi to move away. He proved he was right as he solidified Argentina's #1 for the Copa and WC & Arsenal sold Leno a year or so later.

He was an overlooked talent.

Every time he played for Arsenal he was nothing special though until that Leno injury. He played in Europa League and Carabao Cup the same season. In Carabao Cup vs Liverpool it was 5-5, he was far from amazing. He went through 2 penalty shootouts with Arsenal and couldn't save a penalty to save his life.
