Yep blame Martinez for us having no money

I think we have money (we certainly bid for Ogbonna who went for over £8 million) I think the manager has been too lax in bringing in players that can seriously improve the side and now we have bids come in for our top players their seems to be a bad feeling around the club at the moment, which can certainly affect the start of our season (which is as tough as it is)

Martinez should have had the playmaker in asap, I think Rodgers is a blagger but he's gone out and got the players the Red Shyte need, whereas we are still plodding around side passing aimlessly in midfield with the champion of Arouna Kone as our striker should Rom get injured. It's not good enough upto now

Fair enough. We could also sacrifice the yet to be located creative midfielder or Mirallas.

Either way, that's the only method to keep a relative pace with the billionaire clubs when it comes to wages.

Wheres the Sky funds BK they are due in two weeks don't panic!

....being cynical, I wonder if the club saw this coming hence the enquiries about Jonny Evans. Probably not but who knows what really goes on.

We would need two CBs. ..not happening

This is why our board need to back RM and say NO!

You have no idea what Martinez has been doing in terms of working on signings. It doesn't matter if other clubs have made signings, we can't try to buy every player someone else goes for.

TBF mate, it's a valid point even if this Chelsea - Stones was never a story, we would be just over 2 weeks from the start of the season with only 2 experienced centre backs. All, even given that scenario, it would take was a injury, and we're left going into the season with a totally untested CB pairing. That's not acceptable in any circumstance, but given our opening 10 games it's bordering mismanagement.

I'm better than that mate...

If stones is sold over Martinez' head to make a point he should walk and go public about it.

 

[ilikecheese]

What if it was £30m with a season long loan to us.

What if it was £30m with a season long loan to us.

50 million and we would have to consider it with a massive sell on clause - 20- 26 million is taking the proverbial! still better saying NO!

Where would that leave us with 2 weeks to go till the season starts and a player down?

That's possible the worse post on this.

No, whats the point, develope their player, might aswell keep him and watch his value grow

What if it was £30m for a season long loan.
