40 Million Euro release clause for Frimpong? Surprised if that's not activated this summer.

I wonder if Villa’s Martinez knew that he could draw another yellow card during the pens w/out getting sent off?

He seems to be a real master of the dark arts, & frequently does things (WC celebrations for example) that are questionable, but he’s very good at shootouts & the mental game. I’d guess he knew he could get a second yellow w/ no consequences.

I’m starting to think of him a bit like I did of Zlatan through the last 2 decades- annoying, petty, egotistical & a bit silly when he played against my club, but when he played for my club, I was glad we had him and appreciative of the dark arts he employs.
