Martinez

[Swales4ever]

His parents met with Bilbao's president Josu Urrutia this week, to convince him to accept 40 million from Bayern. Apparantly his dad is a hardcore Bayern fan.

But it seems the president doesn't want to accept it.

Certainly hope don't do it as well.
I am still conviced he would have come very good for us, but +40_fucking_millions it's total madness, and twice the more since we have chosen to sign Rodders.
stay off, imo

btw, hopes for a last ditch catch of DDR are not over, imo. if You read into what mancini said in the presser.

supposedly we're back in for him?..

At that money, it would be an absolute joke. He would have given us nothing today except height.

We're not going to pay 40 million euros PLUS 45 per cent tax. I like the player and he'd give us cover at centre back on the left into the bargain but Messi he isn't. If Bayern walk which it looks like they might faced with Bilbao's hard line we won't be in there. If they cave presumably he'll go to Bayern. Looks like they're demanding that Juve have to pay the tax which is why Llorente looks like staying after all. They needn''t sell so it's a question of their judgement on how blocking Martinez and Llorente will affect their form. They may end up bottling it, I suppose.

I recon if you put Martinez in Kolo's place today, Suarez would have scored two more goals.

The fact is that both Bayern and Bobby are fans so he must have something. I've only seen him on U tube and he has a sweet left foot and seems to tackle reasonably well. And yes he's tall which means he can do a job at centre back. Anyway I'd much rather have De Rossi. He'd be huge for us. If we'd got Hazard De Rossi and a half decent centre back as cover we'd be storming Europe this season. Sigh.

well he signed for BM so thats that
