What is Martinez Playing at?

[Khalekan]

mate why not play a game where you read the headline, read the quotes and then fill in all the blanks yourself trying to make it sound as positive as possible. its the first step to making your life better

lollollol

If Gareth Bale is worth 80 million then Boss Rarkley is worth 2 billion....in other words I've drank too much. Night folks

 

[thirdmantackle]

EVERY club has it's price...football is a business remember

Unless the club is run by the supporters, eg Barcelona

As much as I love Barkley, if a side ever offered us £80m+ for him I'd drive him there myself. And I think he'll be one of the very best in world football.

All Roberto is saying is that the door is wide open at Everton for Barkley to reach those levels and then further himself - there's no need for him to leave to reach those levels first.

Who knows, he may be so good that he helps drag us into the top four over the next few years and he won't need to leave. But if ever did, he's in the perfect side to aid his development right now so there's no need to attempt Jeffers-esque shortcuts to the top.

Realistically Tubey, I think Kenwright and co would sell him for £40m. He's no Levy.

If Malkey is available, someone existing in a parallel universe should sign him up.... I consider myself fortunate to not reside in any non-contiguous plane that shares approachable asymptotic function with such universe.

 

[nsno-chris]

Yep
In reality everyone at the club is just trying to squeeze it for cash, using it. Kenwright is the prime example.

Really, can you please elaborate

 

[deipnosophist]

....too many negatives???....had my mum over for dinner...drank too much xx

 

[deipnosophist]

Really, can you please elaborate

... it is a common refrain. We are soon to find whether it has harmony with reality...or possibly it echoes discordant background noise. In fairness to the cynics, there is some inertia to their claims. As is my wont, I will give some benefit of the doubt : I genuinely believe that our club is on the cusp (or in it), of a new era. Maybe, as the saying goes ,"there's a sucker born every minute"

Fume all you like but we do extract maximum payola..

Lescott, Rodwell, Arteta and Fellaini for around £80M.

Also worth noting that our squad is one of the longest served in the PL. I would wager most sides have nearly a whole new side compared with 3 or 4 years ago. The experience of playing together and knowing each other's game is a priceless asset.

i've hired a plane and a banner for todays game, anyone wanna chip in?

What's the message: brown shoes out, vitor in.

If it's that I'll fly the plane

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

It would be funny and also show our class if we hired a plane with a banner with a love heart and Martinez name next to it.

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.”

It doesn't matter if he said something positive. If I said I hoped your family gets robbed and then said that they're nice people, I've still said something pretty bad.

Terrible analogy, I know, but hopefully you get the point.
