Why is it unbelievable?
Maybe Martinez has 3 or 4 players he really wants. Maybe the clubs who own those players simply won't sell them midway through the season, unless it's for a big premium on top of what they would be prepared to sell for in the summer. Maybe Martinez doesn't want to jeopardise his summer plans by spending too much of his cash now.
If he got 2 of his targets in now, that might mean he'd not have enough for the others he wants.
It's actually pretty sensible and I'd rather take a long term view on it.
I absolutely agree we need a centre mid as cover for Gibson, but given that Gibson will be back before the end of the season, a loan makes a lot of sense.
I don't have a problem with Martinez's view on this
Well if that's the case what makes you think they will sell in summer cheaper?and if they are in there world cup squad I dont think we will be paying less if anthything prices will go up
