What is Martinez Playing at?

[Duncan Disordely]

He's also said this (from the telegraph)

But Martínez insisted that Everton will fight to keep the midfielder. “You want to keep your best performers and at the moment we are looking at Ross as being one of the top players for the future and we want to build our future around Ross Barkley.”

 

[toffee matt]

True, but if a club in our financial situation turned down an astronomical bid for one player I'd be pissed off. As good as Ross could be, no one player could be worth say, £50m, to us. Think of how much we could strengthen the team with that kind of money.

It would all end up in the Cayman islands

Yeah but we can't fume over positive comments

Well yes, in my hypothetical I was assuming we'd get to spend all of the money.

Obviously, as the sale of Arteta, Fellaini etc has shown, that's not always the case.

 

[blue to the bone]

But my point is what Roberto said in the mirror is the truth. No point fuming over his comments

 

[ilikecheese]

I agree but we sell on more of our prized assets then most clubs. sad but true

That rubbish

 

[bluestevon]

Yeah, the Mirror, I know...

He still said all of it.

This is Moyes negativity. Come on Roberto, don't be like this.

If your gonna quote lad, try being a bit more balanced like, he also said this in the same article, obviously it doesn't support your agenda like so you left it out

“Ross has got everything to be as good as he wants. He is the perfect fit for Everton and the perfect fit for what we want to do in the future. We want to build the team around him.

“At the moment, he needs to keep playing at Everton and, hopefully, we can use his development to take the club forward so that we don’t have to lose him. That’s the next challenge for us as a football club.”

I think you missed the memo mate, Barkley's off too Madrid, Martinez is off too Barcelona and Dave Jones has been spotted at finch farm.

Fume!!

 

[nsno-chris]

If a club came in with a huge offer for Ross he would be sold.. That's how Everton operates

Its how every club operates mate; united, spurs, rs, arsenal, all sell if a substantial offer comes in.

its called business

 

[Heaventon]

Berts only saying what fans have thought we know the wolves will call for him world cup wont help if he has Owen or Rooney moment am not for selling but if it comes big cash plus if Bert keeps us playing like we have who knows 20 years from now he could be SIR....

must have mate lol, i don't mind pessimism, God knows most of us are guilty of it at times like but some just go out of their way to spout crap to try appear 'the most pessimistic' poster or are just being whoppers lately

 

[Duncan Disordely]

The thing that's key is the club trying to ensure we're in a position we're as attractive as possible Witt regular aChampions League qualification and fighting for trophies to make any decision harder for Barkley if and when it comes.

If you read what's actually said by Martinez and ignore the reporters own slant in the article, then frankly it's a entirely positive article about the player, and the direction the manager see the club heading, in the managers own words, but some people wanna try make out the sky is falling like

 

[BoysInBlue]

The Mirror is full of crap. Two separate stories on the site as well, Lukaku to us with Barkley going to Chelsea, and us to sign Tom Cleverley for £15m (!!!!!) - but that might not happen because Moyes is worried Martinez might get him playing well and that will embarrass him.

It's all a load of rubbish, I don't believe any of it.

 

[hibbos left peg]
