I like Martinez. He might be small but he is rock hard.Heh. That's a funny paywall - just open the page, right-click, then "Print" and save as pdf.
But damn, Lisandro Martinez is a pretty fearless and direct character.
"Martinez had to do his bit too, pressing his insistence on leaving for a suitable offer — as had been promised by Marc Overmars before his departure as Ajax sporting director. According to De Telegraaf, Martinez unleashed on Ajax’s new technical director Gerry Hamstra, who was blocking the transfer. “You’re a fecking nobody,” Martinez was reported as saying. “You’re only here because Marc Overmars had to go.” Martinez moved two days later."
what are we talking about again?I like Martinez. He might be small but he is rock hard.
Do you know something I don’t?what are we talking about again?
Ops!what are we talking about again?
what are we talking about again?
*IF* the signings work out, we might just need a few signings per summer anyways.It’s all well and good, but we don’t have a magic money tree and the Glazers will still take money out instead of putting it in, so clearly there will be lasting effects on our budgets for the next few summers as a result of this. And our squad is still far from perfect.

Are you my wife? Name and taste checks out.I like Martinez. He might be small but he is rock hard.
No. But tell us more.Are you my wife? Name and taste checks out.
Cringey that you believe this.The Athletic journalists spend their time reading Twitter and forums, reword what they read and pass it off as 'sources' or 'influential figures'.
omg that’s so rudeAre you my wife? Name and taste checks out.
Simmering anxiety among supporters exploded into fury when United’s approach for Marko Arnautovic emerged hours before kick-off on the opening game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion. Defeat poured petrol on emotions.
Having worked with Arnautovic at FC Twente, Ten Hag identified a streak in the striker he wished to add to his dressing room. The term “nasty bastard” was mentioned, in a complimentary way.
She's intelligent and a good swimmer. (you are quite right though)omg that’s so rude
So much of the article feels like that. Some facts thrown in but hard to know how much is true. This almost reads like a summary of football industry gossip abt united transfer activity.The Athletic journalists spend their time reading Twitter and forums, reword what they read and pass it off as 'sources' or 'influential figures'.
He will need more backing for the next few windows if our target is to eventually win the league title again.And he'll need more come January
We won't make a few signings in the next summer window?*IF* the signings work out, we might just need a few signings per summer anyways.
Wont happen though. We ain't that lucky.
depends what you think is reactionary about it…So much of the article feels like that. Some facts thrown in but hard to know how much is true. This almost reads like a summary of football industry gossip abt united transfer activity.
But no one can convince me Casemiro was on our shortlist. And that this wasn't all reactionary.

If we make top 4 we will probably be allowed 1 signing. The board will be back to resting on their laurels again.We won't make a few signings in the next summer window?
Very simple. If we didn't lose to Brighton and Brentford, and had maybe even won against them, do you think we would have spent that much on Casemiro, despite the obvious bolded part.depends what you think is reactionary about it…
it’s clear to everyone and their dogs we desperately needed a defensive midfielder, and we went and bought one of the best in the world over the last few years in that position.
Not Sure that is reactionary to me… maybe more indicative of a scouting department that spends most of its time playing FIFA.
So you don’t think EtH wanted a defensive midfielder prior to that?Very simple. If we didn't lose to Brighton and Brentford, and had maybe even won against them, do you think we would have spent that much on Casemiro, despite the obvious bolded part.
I don't think so. Hence buying Casemiro was a reaction to those defeats.
Have United usually made 1 signing after finishing in the top 4?If we make top 4 we will probably be allowed 1 signing. The board will be back to resting on their laurels again.
Just because EtH wanted, everyone knew we needed, and it was obvious we needed 2 CM, doesn't mean the plan was to get Casemiro. I mean we almost got Rabiot no? That was going to be his midfielder. So what changed? The defeats.So you don’t think EtH wanted a defensive midfielder prior to that?
Don’t worry mate, you’re not that small.what are we talking about again?

Frenkie decided to stay. We could only afford one of them.Just because EtH wanted, everyone knew we needed, and it was obvious we needed 2 CM, doesn't mean the plan was to get Casemiro. I mean we almost got Rabiot no? That was going to be his midfielder. So what changed? The defeats.
If Casemiro was the plan all along, why didn't we sign him earlier?
We were in contact with Casemiro much earlier than people seem to realise.Just because EtH wanted, everyone knew we needed, and it was obvious we needed 2 CM, doesn't mean the plan was to get Casemiro.
