martinez to move for chantome from psg

I know he's a CM but does anyone know anymore about him? Like could he cover for Gibson? felliani? Behind the striker?
Quinny

How good is he

I've heard he is good, and if we are going for him, we can kiss Felli goodbye

We definitely need another midfielder. He sounds useful. Get him in!

He's good but sure expensive.

Had the best passing stats in the French league last season

He's an excellent central midfield Player. Despite not playing much last season, he averaged 92% pass completion even though he passed far more frequently than any of our players. The only person with a higher completion in France was Alex, his teams centre back, who you can assume was far less adventurous with his passing.

As a replacement for Fellaini, he wouldn't work. If fellaini goes, we will need a hard tackling and industrious defensive mid, which he isn't, but if fellaini stays, the two could form a formidable partnership with him providing the guile and skill for the two while fellaini performs the less fashionable aspect

That said, he isn't a Player we need. He is very similar in style to Gibson, our most underrated player, who works with fellaini well. If fellaini were to go, him and Gibson would be too defensively suspect. If fellaini where to stay, we would already have Gibson. We do not need Chantome.

Tom Ince looks like a goer and also the Honda rumours are creeping back in with Milan only wanting him for free

Tom nice would cost the same as Moses

Wouldn't he'd be slightly cheaper and also would cost less in wages, signing on fee and agent fee

No he wouldn't, think we could get him for around 6 m

Jelavic being sold to add funds for a possible move for Mcarthy, although Hamburg may look for installments or a loan, I would prefer to keep the Jellyman. COYB

I'd be bemused if we loaned him out. I think we need the cash upfront if we did sell.

I'd like him to stay but it looks like this may have some legs, and personally I think Martinez likes his forwards mobile, pacey and versatile so I wouldn't be surprised if we listened to offers.

At least a small profit on what we paid is a must if we do sell

TJ

I would rather have Jelavic he'll bang them in again this season, if we need to raise money to buy any player Anichibe would go before Jelavic in my opinion. No way would I be forking out silly money for McCarthy from Wigan either!

I really will lose faith if we get rid of Jelly, the lad had a poor season last year but in fairness moyes hardly give him any confidence, much the same as when we had the yak, he'd score a goal then get benched the following game in favour for Anichebe, now i'm not bashing anichebe at all but I think he was supposed to have been great last year in a lot of peoples eyes and score 6-7 league goals, jelly had an absolute mare and stil;l scored 7??

So we go down to two strikers and buy a defensive midfielder. Don't think so.

From a very good source! Moyes was on 8.5mil a year and rm has signed a 2.4m a year deal! So plenty of money ther for wages for signings!

Sorry mate no way was Moyes on 163k per week, he ain't no Mourinho that's for sure

I think he was probably on closer to 75k per week or 4 million a year

Moyes was on 3-3.5 million a year where do you get 8 million?
wellzee

I think your info is inflated, Moyes was on less than half of that.

Toffee ace

No wonder the players hated him. so tight too, he never bought a round of beer in the whole time he was at Goodison

He was on 4mill a year.

he was on the same as our top earner about 75000 a week that works out about 3.5 million so who ever told you is WRONG

22 Jul 2013 13:52:16
Moyes was on 75000 a week. he was the 4th highest earning manager in the league after Ferguson, mancini and Wenger.

Rite ok. i'm wrong! hold my hands up but I was actually shown the figures, so either they can't type or the people on here some how know he was defo on 3.5mil?

Blueblood

£8.5m per year is around 200k a week, no chance.

I have just again spoken to my source and he was on 8.5mil a year! Correction from my initial post, rm is only on 2.2mil a year. He was 2nd most highest earner in the league behind sir alex! Doesn't make a difference if people believe me or not as I can guarantee these figures are 100% .

Blue blood

Their figures are almost certainly off. He's on around £5.6m at Utd but was on no more than £4m here. Probably closer to £3.5m, around £70,000 p/w.

Moyses was on about £4million per year -not £8.5m but still a saving compared with Martinez reported salary of less than £2.5m

No way mate, sorry but your source is on the sauce! it was well reported that he was on 3.5mil a year. Not even Fergie was on 8, get a grip son! Blue Ben

Ok! Shame no one ever believes you on this when you actual know the facts! What would be the point of me posting complete bs if it wernt true! At the end of the day it don't matter if people believe or not as I was only stating the concrete facts

Blue blood

Absolute nonsense mate, not a prayer he was earnin g 200k a week!

Moyes was the highest paid person in the club. A respected journalist indicated he was earning £90K per week which works out at around 4. 7M per year. I would expect Martinez be be earning less than half of that wage. So we have made a large saving. All we need is to get Heitinga's £55K wages off the budget and then we can bring in another two or three players on the savings.

Perhaps the figures we get are what he actually earned, which would be like %50 of what we paid him.
or it's nonsense. But those numbers from the OP would make sense if it was before tax.
