Martinez’s Man Utd Move Ruined by Deadline Day Drama…
Argentina’s guru of goalkeepers, Lionel Scaloni, assures fans that Emi Martinez is perfectly fine after his rollercoaster ride on transfer deadline day. The Aston Villa shot-stopper was primed and ready for a Manchester United hoodie, but ended up watching the drama unfold with a slice of birthday cake instead. Despite Villa lighting the candles for a goodbye party, they blew them out when United decided to go shopping elsewhere, signing Senne Lammens from a football catalog called Royal Antwerp instead of our birthday boy. Martinez remains the top cat at Villa, proudly guarding the goalposts better than any shopping mall security guard.
Before Argentina’s tango with Venezuela, reporters asked Scaloni if Martinez might lose his goalkeeper throne at Villa. He brushed it off like a mosquito on a summer evening, insisting that Emi remains as essential to Villa as a goalkeeper’s gloves in a blizzard. Scaloni ensured us that if Martinez sticks around, everything will be smoother than a freshly waxed football pitch.
