Talksport reporting Bayern have pulled out of Martinez deal which apparently leaves us "in the driving seat"...

Interesting

Not that I'm saying fbloke is itk however someone has mentioned on the Martinez thread that he says we've agreed a deal. I'm not on twatter so can't back it up.

fbloke is not ITK unfortunately. He tweeted saying we had pulled out of the Nasri deal (as he believed D Castles) about 15 minutes before the website confirmed his signing.

A real epic fail that one.

Didn't you hear? He doesn't want to come. Would prefer to go to United.

Can't blame him, he wants to link up with Nasri at United.

He'll find it hard getting zidane to move over.

Talksport are reporting this in the last hour...No other interest apart from us.

Please let this be true.

A bit of a mixed bag. Played a blinder against the rags in the Europa last season, but went missing in the both finals Athletic played.

He better be for £30m

He's a fantastic player but £30million is too much especially when you consider we paid less for Silva and Yaya when we were obliged to pay a premium for players (and both were bigger names than Martinez when we bought them). Neither Bayern or Barca will pay that and I don't think we will but there must be room to negotiate, like offering bonuses or a friendly.

He's Spanish.

We were helped in those cases by most clubs passing on Silva and Yaya not wanting to sit on the bench at Barcelona. I'm not saying we didn't have to pay a high but fair price for either, but most clubs seemed to not have much interest to their regret.

Remember Jamie Pollock ? Not quite as good as him but not bad.
