Silly Season January 2014

“I’ve got plenty of money, don’t worry. It’s not about the finances,” said Martinez http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...artinez-We-want-to-keep-Rom-as-long-as-we-can

If they are not putting words in Roberto's mouth then I can definitely understand why it's taking so long to sign another Striker as it really looks like he is waiting to get a good one for a reasonable price or on loan and trying to hold on to the money he has got to have a chance of bringin Lukaku and Deulofue again next season along with Barry. Very smart by Roberto.

But he is also saying that we need to be offering Champions League football to players.

Good to hear what appears like a lot of ambition in Roberto's voice, though

“We have got money because we managed to get £40m for three players. But what is important is not spending money for the sake of it, but with a clear, long-term strategy.

For me that is very important. I need to keep the August window in consideration as well".

Lacina Traore on loan would be a great move.. him and maybe another striker on permanent with a midfielder in and it'll have been a great window.

Get ganso in Roberto!

I think that is very, very wise choice. he won't come cheap though. Just look at the price Chelsea are commanding for Kevin De Bruyne (rumored to be in the region of £25m). You can only imagine the fee they would ask for Lukaku.. and that's if they are even willing to let him go at all.

Just Traore and a CM and it'll have been a good window.

We can buy a striker permanently in the summer when availability is better.

Oh. Well that has to be the most fleeting transfer rumour to date.

that's the way (uh hu, uh hu) I like it .. kudos to Ijjy for having his finger wherever and putting that one to bed straightaway.

Just trust Bobby he knows what he's doing.

“It is different in August. I would never forgive myself for spending money cheaply now and miss spending that money in August when I know I could really invest it well.”

I know we all want signings now in this window, but you can't really argue with that quote.

I really hope we go back for Fernando, him and traore + McGeady would make this a very very good window

Ya know,wiith the exception that the club can use that money and and push for champions league which would essentially double the available money.
