Behave, why would he raise hopes of Evertonians around the world, only to get out of it on a technicality of his grammar.

Moyes took an awful lot of stick for being a ditherer, but he hardly any money so I can sort of see why now. Martinez definitely has some money available but didn't bother in January and is taking his time here. He said he wants three players, he must have surely Identified them by now, that's his job and he's more than enough time to pick them. He can't be waiting for the transfer merry go round to make all three become available surely.

Hos only saving grace is he is another Moyes and will take one up the pooper for the board to keep himself in a job.

...speculation about selling a player is not having money to spend though, is it?

...all summer with no money.
What players can you buy with no money? Please give me a list of players who come in and improve us on free transfers.

The season ended in may, it is now August.
He had some money and has obviously spent what was available on Cleverly and Del.
I am guessing the August money and now Stones money is his transfer chest. maybe they are trying not to renew the Vibrac loan and were waiting for the Sky money, guess we will never know.

Theres nothing technical about having no money to spend...try it yourself - go to the shops and load up with gear and then tell the owners you have no money to pay for it.
Read the bold bit here.

In May, he said he'll be bringing players in early (he did) and others in late.
Gives me some comfort that it's planned.
There's strategy involved.

You know as well as I do: the club are trying to sell Stones and that will provide cash for Martinez. There is no cash for RM right now to bring in big signings...by your own admission it hasn't been there until August, and now August is here so we know that the tv cash isn't going into Martinez's hands it'll be the Stones cash.
Dont blame the manager, blame the board.

Fair enough, I guess it's just frustration as we are now resigned to losing Stones.
However, if that was the strategy it has seriously backfired due to the number of injuries.
One thing I do agree with Martinez on, is that the transfer window should be shut before the start of the season.
But if he's got a plan for late signings here, then fair do's.
He'll have expected bids.
I suspect our targets change dramatically if we get a big cash windfall from a sale.
