Interesting

Doesn't sound like the "right character" Martinez was referring to the other week.

Swerve.

It's an Baines and/or Barkley contract or a perm for Barry.Would be amazed and surprised at anything else

Big Doug · January 12, 2014

wont be lukaku on a permanent as:

1. we have paid for his services for the year, so why pay extra for him as in the summer he will have less time on his contract/we will have the TV cash

2. Lukaku will surely wanna see where we finish in the table first before signing

3. why would mourinho risk him being able to play against him this season by selling him now?

will be new contracts if even anything.

Podolski - Would anybody else love us to sign him? Hasn't happened for him at Arsenal and he's picked up a few injuries. But even when fit he's seemed to be on the bench...

Could be pushing a transfer though, to us?

If so it's still not the right attitude to take. If he got his move, how long before he then pushed for a move somewhere else?

It's a no for me.

Ok I understand that, but it's the best league in the world and we're pushing for CL places with a great manager. I think he would prefer that to where he is now

edit: nothing wrong with ambition, although yea if he pushed away from us after a season or two i would be annoyed

This is just overly righteous.

He's at a crap La Liga team and EVERTON want him*. 'Course he's gonna push for it.

*That is of course, if we want him

Could have a deal in place for the summer I guess...

We'll agree to disagree, no problem.

Sounds good.

Anyone actually ever seen the lad play?

meagher94 · January 12, 2014

Anyone else think that if it's news he's gotten a week in advance then whatever it is could easily fall through within that week? I highly doubt it's something that's 100% a done deal.

Will be the biggest anti-climax ever if it doesn't actually happen.

If it does I hope we find out what it was. So all the speculation of what could of been stops

Remember the name.. Paul Georges Ntep. The more I watch the guy, the more I want him! Martinez sent scouts to look at him earlier this month. I desperately hope we make a move for him. Pace, strength, technical ability... looks like he has it all!
