Summer Transfer Window - Credible Rumours Only Please

[Mogwai]

Kev. Or Rom if Wolfsburg was actually bidding

That's one team, not a whole bunch. I don't think anyone but us were going to pay 28m for ROM. And Mirallas wasn't really well known and desirable at the time.

In a word, money. We have a lot more money than Marseille and could offer him higher wages if we wanted too.

Erm, you sure?

Only in the short term. I suspect a significant minority of posters will be thread banned or plain old fashioned banned in the next couple of weeks.

It helps if we can report posts without fear of retribution or even worse a report rejection with a hurtful message.

Oh I get it...trying to legitemise the culling of beauts on this forum.

About 20 mill a season more in turnover last season according to the Deloitte money league.

Oh gosh that's funny!

That's really funny!

Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh!

See, they're Scottish players, and I like Scottish football!

You know, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference that on this forum before.

Because I like Scottish fooball right? I was talking about a Dutch player there in that situation. But he plays in Scotland

And yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart man you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself.

That's so fresh too. Any other Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity? Because I'm right here, you know, so go ahead if you want

God you're so funny!

Calm down Mikey.

The point is you seem to think Martinez only likes one type of centreback when in fact he's been happy in the past to sign dominant imposing centrebacks instead of always going for ball players you and others constantly refer to as his preference.

Also I could less F's whether or not you like Scottish football. Why should I? None of my business to be honest.

I would imagine so. I don't know Marseilles turnover but I doubt it will be in excess of 100 million like ours.

Andy Hunter gets a lot of Everton stuff right, it was him who wrote the article on Payet. Better source than most.

Gary Caldwell as a prime example. Not sure if he bought him for Wigan but he certainly liked to pick that yard dog game in game out.

Is he really though?

Could you link up the article as I seem to have missed it?

"The Everton manager has earmarked a new No10 plus a left-sided midfielder as transfer priorities for this summer and Marseille’s Payet has emerged as a potential target."

So Payet and a left sided midfielder?

Regards to Payet

Payet moved to Stade Velodrome from Lille in 2013 for €11m (£8m) and was previously at St Etienne, where he attracted attention from Chelsea and Liverpool and once refused to show up for training having been denied a move to Paris Saint Germain.

Something perhaps to be wary of

If there's any substance in this, then link me up.
Otherwise zip it.



Ditto

Just pointing out Martinez doesn't has a preference for a certain type of centreback as a few of our less enlightened posters seem to think.

He's like any good manager he fills his squad with variety which enables him to have many options and gives us a better chance of winning and being less predicatable. There's a common myth perpetuated on here that Martinez has a certain "type" of player and that's clearly not to true and shows a real lack of naivety on people's behalf.

I still think Cleverley has been bought to cover the left side and to try and get balance and an understanding with Baines. More so because of Osman, Pienaar in particular being out and others not doing well enough out there. Just my opinion though, not saying as an out and out winger but someone who can tuck in but also provide the balance for Baines to find his mojo and feel confident about bombing forward. Think he might have played left side during his loan at Wigan though I'm not 100% certain on that.
