Javi Martinez

[Eskimo]

Apparently we are interested in this fella, plays for Bilbao, some suggestion that he could be a replacement or Momo.

[cymrococh]

Hasn't he got a really long contract and massive minimum fee? Something like £17m?

 

Can't see us paying that for him.

Yup, something like that, meant to be brilliant and is only 19... Not sure where he'd fit with Lucas, Masch, Xabi and Stevie (let alone Momo), unless of course Stevie is gonna be given that 'free role' on the right, but why buy him for around £17m when we could buy a striker, CB, winger etc which surely MUST be higher priorities?

Been in the english media about a week now

[Rich Gobey]

Maybe Momo and Masch are on their way...

No if you listen to Anny Road!

 

Why o why would be pay £17m for Javi when Masch would cost the same (if you believe the figures in the media) and Masch is literally a monster

Martinez and Mascherano are different kind of players. Mascherano is a defensive midfielder whereas Martinez is an attacking midfielder.

 

Could all be bull to try and force MSI hands to keep the Mascherano fee low by saying we are looking at other players.

Kaizer can you please give us a profile of this player in terms of his physical attributes in comparison to you in your prime and also some states such as average distance covered per match.

 

Thanks in advance,

I want to know how many back-heeled goals he scores every week.

We all dream of a team of Javier's

[psl]

Obviously Gerrard's leaving.

[Rich Gobey]

Obviously Gerrard's leaving.

 

Clearly.

[_00_deathscar]

Sell him now to end the speculation.

 

Oh, and sell Gerrard too.

[Magic8Ball]

Obviously Gerrard's leaving, CM an and moving to a "free role" on the right

too right mate

Dont make that into something it isn't.

Rafa Benitez is not planning a swoop for Athletic Bilbao youngster Javi Martinez.

The Spanish media claimed over the weekend that the 19-year-old midfielder could be Anfield bound.

 

However, Benitez today told Liverpoolfc.tv: "He is a young player who we know about because Bilbao paid good money for him.

 

"But we are not watching the player and are not thinking about signing him, as I have read in the Spanish press."

 

Reports suggested the Reds were in a two-way battle with Italian side Fiorentina over the £18million-rated youngster.

No I can not, Martinez has never registered on my radar, so I guess this means he is nothing more than average.

 

We should look elsewhere.

Why the hell aren't you employed by the club?? You would think if we did have 'the best scouts in the world' someone would have picked you up by now

Could someone please inform rafa of this immediately. If this guy has not registered on the kaizerometer then he is obviously schite and any contract talks should be abandoned instantly.

why would a man with a PE degree settle for a job as a scout?

 

Kaizer should be Pako's replacement

email rafa won't you? It could save us some money.
