We may be “stacked” in terms of numbers but certainly not in terms of quality and reliability.Have an inkling Marty will play in midfield this season as we are stacked at CB. Or at least start off at midfield and drop to make a three at the back when out of possession.
Yes yes I know EtH said he's better as a defender than a midfielder but our squad needs a midfielder more.
We ain’t buying him for midfield, he’s made his reputation as a CB and that’s where we have bought him for. We are not stacked at CB, we have a bunch of error and injury ridden individuals that we need to start decluttering from the squad. The only question is who will play alongside Martinez at CBHave an inkling Marty will play in midfield this season as we are stacked at CB.

That’s full on muppet logicI'm hoping that we have "overpaid" for Martinez as part of a deal to get Anthony too. I heard Anthony has a big sell on clause so it would be in Ajax interest to reduce the fee on Anthony and add some onto Martinez.
The fact the negotiations and price seemed to stall and then increase was maybe us agreeing a "bundle" price for the pair and structuring it in a way to maximise profit for Ajax.
Ajax buying some support for the right wing makes me hope that's the case.

It’s a cute idea but I’m sure Ajax aren’t going to get involved in something like that just to potentially save £1m quid in a sell on feeI'm hoping that we have "overpaid" for Martinez as part of a deal to get Anthony too.

Well saw some tweet Erik wanted two more (not including De Jong), so presume it's RB and RF/STGreat! So, let's hope that this month we can finalise FDJ deal and maybe RWB and RW if needed. Then the transfer window is complete and next steps are offloading Telles, AWB, Jones, Bailly (if he's still crap; haven't seen the pre-season games but allegedly he was good) and Ronaldo .
Martinez will change our game a lot and might be even more vital signing than FDJ would be. Not worried about Antony, but sad that LVG sabotaged our Timber deal. This would have transformed our RB a lot, but again - Dalot has been decent during pre-season so maybe he will find his RWB skills under ETH and we'll see him and Sancho linking with each other nicely. Let's hope so.
People are laughing but I thought the same thing after initially being pissed off with us haggling over 5-10m for months to then offer 15m above asking out of the blue.I'm hoping that we have "overpaid" for Martinez as part of a deal to get Anthony too.

Can really see why ETH likes him so much.The Butcher of Argentina
I thinking jostling players is literally a part of the art of defending. There are those that read the game and never fall like Maldini, others who manoeuver strikers and use spatial awareness to win the ball. The one that comes to mind is Carles Puyol. He was not tall for a CB and yet he was brilliant against strikers of all types. Puyol had the best sliding tackle in the game for a decade and had the uncanny ability to get between the defender and the ball. If Martinez comes to within 50% of Puyol, we’d have ourselves a great defender. In my opinion, he plays a lot like Puyol did, but is so much better on the ball than Puyol.I'm not sure they needed to waste space on the internet with a four minute video of a guy jostling players.
It’d be funny if they gave him the hobbit treatment and used perspectives to make everything else look bigger or one of those giant beach chairsBet in his announcement video they give him the Tom Cruise treatment and make him wear lifts and shoot him from clever angles.
Eh?What a steal! Bargain
Superb business from the club
Daylight robbery
A steal at 55M?Superb business from the club
Yep. Get with the times. £46m or there abouts.A steal at 55M?
I think so. He is what ETH needs irrespective of price.A steal at 55M?
Money wise? Absolutely not. He wasn’t cheap by any meansSuperb business from the club
He wasn’t expensive either in todays market. Cracking deal this.Money wise? Absolutely not. He wasn’t cheap by any means
Ajax?Superb business from the club
We had them over a barrel. Player was ready to throw a strop and only had eyes for us. I can only imagine we'll be dealing with them again in the near future so no need to sour relations.I think so. He is what ETH needs irrespective of price.
United. fair price and top notch business. Our good relationship really shows through.Ajax?
Compared to what we paid for Maguire, yes. Martinez is twice the player.A steal at 55M?
Forget about it!We had them over a barrel. Player was ready to throw a strop and only had eyes for us. I can only imagine we'll be dealing with them again in the near future so no need to sour relations.
They better give us a big fecking discount for Antony
I think thats exactly it. We have a good relationship with Ajax rather than fall out over a few million we just bit the bullet and go him in as ETH wanted him. If ge wins us a major trophy in his time here, heck even if he helps us to top 4 this season he will have paid those extra millions back.We had them over a barrel.

I skipped 115 pages and we are still banging on about this.He’s short.
Apologies. I just wanted to put it out there as I wasn’t sure it anyone had noticed.I skipped 115 pages and we are still banging on about this.
I'm sure everyone at the club is well aware.
Already is my favourite (short) player weve ever signedGuarenteed fan favourite if you ask me.
