There's a lot of over the top silliness on here. Let's just calm down and see what happens shall we?

That would seem a sensible approach.

And very boring for a transfer speculation thread. There are plenty of other threads to be entirely sensible on, indeed boring as can be, but the very nature of this one is surely to run about in a mad panic and suggest players to buy... Sorry borrow.... in our current predicament.

What happened to Jozy Altidore in the end?

Under the radar we were linked with Luiz this morning in a couple of places. If fit I wonder if Emery will see it as the lowest risk option.

How much would we get for Martínez ?
Around £20M ? In a slow decline and getting flaky injury wise? Never understood the fuss with him as he makes too many daft blunders in amongst his good performances. Inter would be perfect for him, and he'll be gone in the summer.

Sick of him anyway, he looks like he's checked out mentally and isn't the man and part of the group that he was.

Double that at least. 3.5 years left on a highly paid contract, World cup winner, multiple Copa Americas and in his prime years for a goalie. Could sign a 5 years deal somewhere else quite easily I reckon.

I think his best days are behind him but 'never understood the fuss with him' as a back-to-back Yashin award winner is a bit wild.

...not for his performances in the premier league, consistently around 7th to 9th best keeper in the league according to the stats. If he played for Uruguay and not Argentina his profile would be way lower, and no Yashin awards.
