I'm losing track, is this the young Turk?

Yes, and don't let 'em ever change your point of view.

Think we will probably look to bring in a CB who can also cover RB and we'll be done.

I can’t imagine an Argentinian club would have the untold millions it would undoubtedly take to buy Martínez.

That's why they asked about Buendia.  He's half his size.

Monchi rebuffed their approach by demanding a mar del plata.

AH - that's what I get for skim reading and not paying enough attention.  Must do better!

It's a terrible affliction of the modern age, skim-reading. Understandable but not excusable.

Although - whichever Emi it is, his point still stands. The biggest transfer fee ever in the Argentinian league is around £10m.

We're never breaking even on little Emi, but I imagine he's got enough in the tank that he could easily be the attacking midfielder for the bottom third of the Premier League, and that's more valuable than what Argentinian clubs are paying.
