Royal Blue Jersey
Player Valuation: £35m
This is a transfer rumour thread, it feels all a little off point, then again I think I'm only saying that because the sight of evertonians rooting for Liverpool makes me physically sick.
I always hated United, who doesn't? A ghost town of a stadium packed to the rafters with a mixture of Manc nob heads and inane Soccer AM glory hunting dickheads. I now hate Moyes - surely one of the top 3 dourest, sourest c*cks in all of sport never mind football, has now substituted his dignity, honesty and fairness - his few redeeming features - for an almighty arseload of unbearable ego, shameless self-promotion and really heartless attitude.
Whatever you feel about Martinez' credentials he only ever spoke in the warmest of regards about Wigan. He was only ever proud to represent the interests of a people and of a place, however small. He never denigrated Wigan for having 20,000 considered a sellout, he celebrated the 15,000 who were regulars. And though when he came in for Wigan players Bill did his haggling best, we only ever offered a fair price and gave a fair deal. We had that sewn up within 2 weeks, whereas Moyes - manager of the world's most profitable club - has been content to string out every last penny from the employers who had only just finished paying him a £4.2m a year contract, who had made his' dream move' possible, who he knew were one of the league's poorest clubs, whose very fans took pride in rejoicing his name.
Yes, I know, sentiment means little in business, but this is football. Sentiment means everything. Football is illogical to its very core, and is only ever an investment for its fans of diminishing returns; we pay more, we get less. If Moyes really feels satisfied in all that he has done knowing that instead of making use of his undoubtedly substantial transfer fund, he has exerted continual disruptive influence on both players and club, utilising the 11-year bridges he has built with our Chairman and Board - the very same he has enjoyed utterly torching - entirely for his own gain then he really is a [Poor language removed]. Just a complete and utter [Poor language removed]. The remarks he made in the press were so crass and showed such a huge sense of self-importance and such a lack of humility I think we all know the answer to that.
But Liverpool... that is something althogether different. I start thinking about Liverpool and I forget all about United; I forget all about Moyes. They're just footnotes of general grievances and gripes I have with football, they can be filed alongside Alan Pardew and modern retail park stadiums. No, Liverpool are something I hate with every fibre of my footballing brain. I hate the fúcking sycophantic, red-draped, reality-warped, victim-complex, badge-wearing, scarf-waving, YNWA-singing, glory-hunting, match-avoiding, pub-watching, snide-sneering, shíte-chatting gobshíteing lot of them. I would consider the demolishing of Anfield one of the greatest achievements of humanity. If Liverpool ceased to exist tomorrow I would rejoice for football. And if I could never see a pro-kopite post on here again, I could die a happy man.
Now that I've gone off topic I'd best do something to steer it back given my initial point - McCarthy is surely Martinez' target to replace Fellaini. Can we get him? How much would you consider an acceptable cost?
