Bet he is playing.

Correct

 

[roydo]

Do we?

Kiev accepted our bid for Yarmolenko. They called it off, not us. And I dont think BK could influence the owner of them.

But that might have been spent now on these lads. No idea though.

Things that will happen:

1 - John Stones will stay.
2 - Funes Mori will sign.
3 - Rodriguez will not get to play before christmas.
4 - We will sign a slightly enticing attacking option.
5 - Martinez will label whoever we sign as a fantastic capture for the club.
6 - Gareth Barry will start the next game.
7 - Tony Hibbert will exist.

Not sure about the last one to be honest, I still think he may be a figment of our collective imagination

Correct

That might fit a narrative. Note. Might

These lads? £5.5M for the pair of them?

A bid for a player they no doubt know was never coming here. They have form.

if it was a phantom bid do you not think they would have made more of a song and dance about it at the club?

Soz Dave, I meant these ones and any other last minutes lined up. Got a billion PMs whizzing about.

Begovic, N'Zonzi and Huth

And the combined fees for those players total less than the fees that they've shelled out on for 12 new players?

They had no need to: social media platforms did the job for them and that way they didn't have be seen to have proved anything.

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Absolutely not.
5. See 4.
6. Of course.
7. Yes.

We are not signing a number 10, guys.

We have tried to sign Payet, Shaqiri, Yarmolenko and God knows who else. We have failed to acquire any of them because we just will not stump up the cash. At the end of the window, Martinez will say how there "wasn't the right fit" and we weren't going to "spend money just to spend money" and that he's "happy with his squad".

Phantom bids are a nonsense. Martinez wouldn't stand for playing that sort of game.

What has Martinez actually said on the player/'bid'?

Watch yourself, it's dark in that rabbit hole.
