Is he injured? Based on yesterday's game, there is no way he can ever play for Barca.

probably but I don't believe he is worth 40m anything in between 20-28m and we've got an awesome deal

btw he is still our priority we are still negotiating with Athletic

Very few players are worth 40M, but Barca and Madrid have inflated the market to such a degree that this is what happens.

I never rated him. It seems to me that on this forum any player from other liga clubs is hyped up. People here seriously wanted Adrian FFs

But when we have the balls to try and sign a truly world class player (eg cesc, villa) people say "too much money"

Excuse me but were about to pay forty fucking million on a very average player in Martinez. We have no need for a box to box player who is only slightly good at everything.id father have someone that's world class at one thing and play him in only one position

Of course people here think a good performance every other game in the liga against the likes of betis and soceidad makes someone barca material. It definitely does not. They need far more than that to be of the quality of his club

Judging him based on one game against Betis is just as bad as panning him for one bad game on an awful Spain where Montoya was even worse.

For what it's worth I think paying 40M to waste Javi Martinez as a CB is a horrible idea. Him and Pique do not compliment each other at all. Also Adrian is incredibly overrated.

But Javi Martinez is a very good footballer and a complete midfielder, you sound like me talking about Cesc though so I know not to bother. :lol:

There's no way on Earth Martinez is worth €40m. Every time I've saw him play, be it for Athletic or Spain, I've always felt a bit underwhelmed, truth be told. He doesn't look anything special in my book, and certainly isn't worth the figures that have been banded about the past few weeks. I agree that we need a CB/DM but I wouldn't have Martinez as that player. There's better ways to utilise our budget than to blow it all on this guy.

Just makes you appreciate more those defenders from the 90s (mainly Serie A) when you see who's worth 40 mil. these days.
