I think we just don't have the prestige yet. We forget that many of these kids looked up to the like Zidane, Ronaldo, Xavi and even Cantona. Few kids dreamt of following in the footsteps of Paul Dickov and Georgie K.

There will come a time when young players will want to score the winning Premier League goal in extra time. But that generation is still a ways away.

If that means spending 40 mil Euros on an unproven player with no pace, I hope we are never a big bullyboy club.

i watched him in the u21 tourno last summer when spain won it!! martinez and mata were up against rodwell and henderson v england,martinez was head and shoulders above the others!! barca and bayern who are both interested surely can't be bad judges of players.....can they?

They signed Boateng.

He is totally unproven. He could become a top player but it's all about potential, not about what he actually has been doing for the past few months, which hasn't been very good at all. He'a a big unit & can probably do a job in the German league whilst they evaluate him, but still, it's all about what he MAY do, not about what he actually does.

40 million Euros is too much money for a gamble.

It is exactly that. He is 23 and still has the future in front of him. He has more than 200 league matches and some international experience.

And - most important - he matches exactly in the profile for a player that Bayern is in need of.

It would be Bayern's and Germany's record transfer. For sure they try to pay as less as possible - that's normal business.

But Bayern has about 100 millions of fluid cash that is not planned in anything.

Martinez deal is 'complicated'

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is the latest to offer an update on Bayern Munich's pursuit of Javi Martinez, admitting a deal with Athletic Bilbao is 'complicated'.

He remains optimistic regarding Bayern's chances of snaring the Spain international, but a saga which has dragged on for much of the summer remains some way from being completed.

Martinez has expressed a desire to move on and Bayern have a five-year contract awaiting him at the Allianz Arena.

The fee involved in any agreement is proving to be something of a sticking point, though, with Bayern reluctant to match a €40million (£31.5m) buy-out clause.

They are, however, still working hard on a transfer, with Rummenigge hopeful the 23-year-old will soon be a Bundesliga performer.
Problems

"It's a very complicated clause, so the whole subject would cause certain legal and tax problems," he said.

"We're working on it and I hope we can announce a deal by the end of August. But it's not entirely easy.

"Due to the fact he's prepared to forego a great deal of money in return for the five-year contract we intend him to sign here, he's indirectly contributing to the transfer fee.

"It definitely means the total investment would be significantly reduced."

He might be great though I didn't see much of that greatness in Bilbao's matched I watched last year but he is certainly not worth 40 millions euro.

Only handful number of players is worth that money, he is not member of that club. Might be some day but currently definitely not.

Him and Fellaini are the closest thing you will see to Yaya Toure though.

I'm not extremely familiar with him but from what I've seen I'd take Fellaini anytime over him.. not much older, premier league experience, and would cost less than that
