Arsenal great Adams: Sensational Martinez should not have been sold | OneFootball

Arsenal great Tony Adams has questioned the sale of Emi Martinez to Aston Villa.

Adams has questioned the club's decision to sell Martinez and restore Bernd Leno as No.1.

"Martinez was incredible in their cup run. He was absolutely sensational," Adams told Stadium Astro. "And I do like big ones and what Leno does struggle with, for me, is crosses and stuff.

"But it isn't about me. Arteta's gone, 'No, Leno is my number one, I like him,' and he's put all his faith in him. But I don't believe that he's a top-four goalkeeper, for me.

"Martinez, it was coincidence, everything fell into place for Arsenal in the cup competition last year, it was like it was written in the stars.

"This goalkeeper comes in – been at the club for 10 years and not played 10 games – and he stops everything! He was a man possessed, he was absolutely incredible. And for me, he was the number one.

"Now you've made the opportunity, you've got experience, go okay, yep. But Arteta's the man and he's chosen a different goalkeeper."
