How on earth does this negate my point?
A trusted media outlet reports something - Random Forum Poster says ''no no no it's performance based', and you are saying ''right ok, we should go with that''.
Why?
Because 1- you can use it as another tedious stick to beat Moyes with and 2- you waxing lyrical about Martinez and his signings in the off season is already starting to look very, very premature.
The win ratio? Fellaini's tangible impact on matches vs the objective opinion of Great Dane et al. regarding McCarthy? Because my opinions can be substantiated.
Where's the 9m bid for Barry Ferguson?
so its 6M (not 8) and 7.5M (not 9) - right, so 3.5m difference already. We spent less than that on 3 of our signings this summer. Still, a fairly substantial difference. Your shining light Martinez has spent 6m so far on Kone, who has an even worse track record than Beattie at time of signings.
He's about to spend 10m+ on McCarthy and that ''intrigues'' you. We've got zero creativity in squad, and he wants to spend 10m on a player who makes Osman's range of passing look adventurous.
