We have better players at the club in each of those positions already.

i’m not quite sure what you mean, but I assume it’s because martinez wants to come?
Interesting, you guys sure seem to be backing him in the market.
But yeah as you said it yourself, it depends in if he trusts Tierney or not.
Depends on the system and who else comes in.
I'm inferring they are trying to cause as little friction as they can with Ajax for when they negotiate for Antony.
The only CB we have who's better is Varane, who will no doubt partner him. Martinez is comfortably better than Maguire and Lindelof.
In the meeting VDS will say: just accept it ffs (in Dutch).
Martinez is better than Maguire. Quite frankly, Maguire is shit.
We’ll have to agree to disagree because I think Maguire is comfortably better than Martinez.
On paper, in actuality the players in those positions were absolutely abysmal last year.
Maguire has been outstanding in two international tournaments. What the feck has Martinez done in his career?
Who exactly is better than Eriksen ? And you would surprised to see how ETH uses Martinez.
I would've gone with stilts or Cuban heels!
I wonder why we'd triple his wage, unless it's because Arsenal are offering something in that ballpark? Incentivising with bonuses plus double might've been a worthwhile carrot, he says. Just wonder why we'd boost high so readily, especially so when we're supposedly moving away from that model.
At what ? football ?
At what?
Sounds like you've spent too long at that tavern in the town.
Won the Copa America mate
Won a few titles with Ajax. insulting comparison.
At times he barely resembled a footballer last season. He's defintely not a better player currently. If he returns to form, sure, we may argue about that. Given his fragile mentality I highly doubt that.
Also, ten Hag's defenders should be very comfortable on the ball and play a VERY high line. In that system, you may put a cone at the center of the pitch and will probably be better than him. He would be eaten.
No, at taking a dick in the arse. Why do you have to ask this?
The more I think about it, the more I think ETH is starting with a three at the back until he acclimates to the league.
This guy already knows the plan, Maguire/Varane/Lindelof gonna have to pick it up,
I think the gaffer wants him on the tour asap.
And to be honest, we should be making decent offers to get the job done.

Ajax who have twice the wage bill of their nearest competitor. Some achievement that.
I’m sure you’ll find it less funny when Martinez is being manhandled by Premier League strikers.
Oh feck me that was superb
The daftness of comparing international games to club competition was amusing enough.
Martinez isn't some weak player, by the way
Strikers aren't big and strong in Holland or the Champions League?
What's Maguire done for Manchester United?
Told you guys this would get sorted this week. Ajax will accept this, they'd be crazy to refuse.
Just absolutely pointless using fbref to compare defenders. Go look up Van Dijk’s defensive stats on fbref, you’d never know he was the best defender in the world.
Oh ok. I thought you said he's better at football...
My goodness me. You’ve had a shocker with that comeback.
He’s literally won a lot more than Maguire at club level and international level. Ah shit you got me there. I’ll pack my bags and get outta here.
It’s more the fact that referees allow them to be more physical in England.
Blind is far less physical than Martinez and is arguably the best CB we've had post Sir Alex (definitely formed the best partnership with Smalling). Almost like defending in football is a team thing and has a lot more to it than just being tall. If you're aggressive, smart, agile, you can easily get away with being shorter. Up to the coach to accomodate.
Excited.
Give me your views on Martinez please, how you think he will settle in to the PL and what to expect?
Ajax wanted €50m guaranteed (and possibly some add ons). Nevertheless it's clear this deal is a matter of time. Whether this deal will be accepted or not probably depends on how much of that 50m is set price and which amount is on add-on terms. With Ajax initially opting for €50m guaranteed, I can see Ajax turning this one down if the basic fee is below €45m.
In any scenario it will eventually lead to a deal. Only way Martinez isn't off to United is if Arsenal suddenly comes in with a €55m offer or something. Can't really see that one happening though.
Though I love Martinez, and I am usually a fan Maguire. Different league, and different teams. All you can really say from this is that Martinez is better on the ball, and everyone knows that.
Haven’t you seen Martinez in the CL against the likes of Nunez and Haaland?
Apparently not.
When was the last time an Argentinan was manhandled .. they play with passion.. Heinze, Rojo,Tevez
Hope this guy is the same
