🚨 Inter have made initial contact with Emi Martínez’s camp to explore conditions of a potential summer move.
@DiMarzio

This Gianluca Di Marzio is starting to piss me off. I hope Inter have deep pockets.

It’s time to consider good offers for him.

You’d think both Mateta and Abraham would be pretty expensive wage wise.

I am surprised we aren’t looking at getting in someone younger who has a bit more longevity, and presumably has some sell on value.
We signed 2 of the "younger" kind already.

We did, I didn’t mean THAT young.

There's always going to be that spectre of is he staying or is he still pushing for a move, so I say make hay while the sun shines. He could have been a legend, but like Jack with City, chose to schmoozy up to that basket case of a club up North.

For the outstanding saves he's made to keep us in games, he's also cost us just as many with his slip-ups over the past 18 months. Not the keeper he once was imo - I mean wtf was he doing on Saturday for a start?!

Emi will go this summer for sure. Olabe needs to find a good replacement. Inter would suit him too.

Douglas Luiz if fit would slot in next to Onana with Youri at 10 very nicely. The if fit bit is the problem. It's a massive shame the other one in that deal isn't here now, as he'd be in the team.

Wharton is the one we really want. He could cover for Kamara to the level.

Hes a poor man's Tielemans.

Whartons quality

He is still a poor man's Tielemans. He isn't a Kamara type.

Wharton gets into our current team. The guys quality and he will end up one of the rop clubs in next 18 months. Wait and see

I think Wharton is decent but not a top four player. I rate Anderson higher than him. Although he’s having a bit of a tough period.

It will be interesting to see if Mainoo regains the form he had before falling out of favour. He looked excellent for a while.

Martinez leaving for abroad and we can get good money for him and a decent replacement would suit everyone.  Ideally not on the last day of the transfer window though this time

Agreed, he just needs to persuade Mrs. M to move from Tamworth to Milan.

We need to sign 2 quality midfielders sharpish.

I think Tammy has scored 20 out of 25 career penalties. Mateta 15 out of 17.  Perhaps they should have a shoot out for us to make our decision. Not that we get awarded any penalties...
