Gunners legend Ian Wright says the decision to let go of Emi Martinez is ‘costly’ as the Aston Villa goalkeeper is now worth more than what Arsenal gave him.
Martinez decided that it was not going to be Bernd Leno’s second violin and chose to stay away from the Emirates.
Substitute goalkeeper Alex Runarsson did not inspire confidence last night against Manchester City and Wright admires Martinez’s decision to want to play first-team football.
He told Wrighty’s House Podcast: “The thing about Emi is that I always look at the players like this, she’s 26, 27 and he just said ‘I’m leaving’, it’s about me, and I admire him.
“I think that even though towards the end I went to Burnley and went to Scotland because it was a great experience to go to Scotland at that stage in my career, but during the flesh and bones of my career, I don’t think I would have had that in me to say I’m going. “
“You have to admire that, now look at him, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.
“In the end, you had to accept the money we got for him, but now it’s worth much more than that.”
