Agree with the above. Martinez is wonderfully irate when clubs show an interest in one of his players.
Otamendi has had only one good season. Only just over a year ago he was playing for Porto, and was not even in the first 11 and Mangala was playing ahead of him. Valencia got him for pretty cheap and he's had an excellent season no doubt. But to buy him for 50 Million Euros on the back of just a single season seems silly to me.
Don't understand why he'd be fuming with Chelsea. Annoys me when managers come out with stuff like this. Sure they were never going to accept the bid but it was hardly a derisory offer either.
So i guess you wouldnt want Kane for €50m's then?

No I wouldn't. But I would happily pay that much for him next season if he gets close to 25 goals overall. Bear in mind the fact that he's only 21.
Slightly understandable but he yeah he has a knack of getting pissed off for no reason.TBF he is specifically angry about the fact it has been leaked to the press, from what he says Chelsea.
However I do agree, he can't always get angry teams are interested in his players, he should take it as a compliment.
He's just a bittuva dickhead man. I've a few Toffee fan mates & they cant stand him at all. They're embarrassed when he opens his mouth & think the club has really gone backwards last season - they have aswell. I dont hear them slaggin Moyes anymore either - quite the opposite at times..
Everton are notoriously tough sellers aswell.The last big player they sold was Fellaini, who they somehow managed to sell for more than his release clause.The likes of Coleman, Baines, Barkley etc would probably be at top clubs if they wern't so tough.In one sense it's a good approach but you do wonder if they miss out on players to the likes of Southamton who are more willing to sell for a reasonable fee.Don't understand why he'd be fuming with Chelsea.

Never gonna get Kane for €50m's next summer - if he has a similar season or better, than the last one mate..
Yeah. You're always going to overpay with Spurs, whenever it is. If you bid for Kane now, its going to be about £50 million. If he has another 30 goal season, that £50 million is going to look very cheap.Never gonna get Kane for €50m's next summer - if he has a similar season or better, than the last one mate..
We also have at least a week, or 2 when it comes to Otamendi, as he was at Copa and is on holiday, so it doesn't matter if we sign him now or in ten days, he is not going to be with the squad anyway.
Di Maria who was an absolute passenger and almost became irrelevant in the second half of the season?
Not saying Pedro has as much ability but he could easily make a bigger contribution. Have to say I'm surprised to learn that he's 27, would have said 24/25 tops.

I think it's because Chelsea do like to talk to the media. Fair enough Woody likes to brief the press as well, but i think Chelsea just do it as Martinez said to unsettle players.
I know things are never really private in this day in age, but the way Chelsea brief press, nothing is private.
I wonder if he'll come by plane or be shipped in a cardboard box like most statues.
Is Romero any better than Lindergaard or Johnstone ? I doubt it tbh.
I just don't understand the Romero signing. He really isn't that good. He's a dodgy goalkeeper and I would rather stick with Lindegaard + Johnstone as backup.
Lindegaard is a poor keeper, out of his depth in the Utd first team IMO and Johnstone is a youth player with no experience at the very top level. Romero is back up and has experience at the very highest level. He is a free transfer to boot. Say we get through to the CL final and our first choice keeper gets injured, would you want to see Lindegaard or Johnstone turning out for us?
Johnstone has massive potiental. Romero could be a good stop gap until Johnstone gains a bit more experaince, but at the age of 22 he really needs to make the step up soon.Lindegaard is a poor keeper, out of his depth in the Utd first team IMO and Johnstone is a youth player with no experience at the very top level.

There must be a reason why he hasn't been a starter elsewhere in all these years though.LvG obviously rates and trusts him from past experience.

Why is Lindegaard poor? He has been pretty good whenever he has got the chance.

He makes the odd nice save but his aerial command, distribution and organisation are seriously lacking.
I find it odd he's still here, to be honest.
Could that be because he lack a steady run of games?
Maybe he doesn't want to be a backup any longer.Yep. Perfectly good back-up keeper.

Well he has played in one more World Cup final than both of them!

And his competition was ?
