Bilbao deserves lots of respect. Just because Uli Hoeneß/City/whoever calls doesn't mean you have to do what he wants.

I'm not talking about that, I actually prefer not to sign Javi Martínez... I feel the squad is complete already. They asked for 40M, Bayern paying 40M... now they don't want to accept it and the player would've to pay 40M+taxes to the LFP to terminate his contract.

If they didn't want to sell him in the first place, why would they say "Pay 40M if you want him"?

I think (hope) Stoch would get preference.

You know, I think that's Bayern's fault. All the the talk about Martinez paying 10m to go to Bayern, I don't think that's what they wanted to hear. Their club is all about local players that stay loyal to the club. One of their most talented players wanting to pay 10m to get away from the club and sign for a German club, can't see any fan not being offended by this.

I think the whole club is rather angry at him and this behaviour looks like kind of a "get fucked Martinez" behaviour to me. Bayern should just have kept quiet over this.

We never said we would negotiate.
Bayern showed up with the clause that doesn't mean we are negotiating. The clause is at the league and the player can buy out the contract following the steps for it. Our position has not changed from the beginning.

Also, Yurt, do you have the Italian non-translated Conte interview?

Aaron Giambattista translates the bit Conte said about a striker as

Conte- "Dzeko or Llorente? A top player doesn't only need to be expensive. Someone will arrive."

But I'm sceptical about the "doesn't only need to be expensive" part. I don't recall him saying that at all.
I'm only relying on twitter to be honest, lol. Maybe you'll find it on TuttoJuve/Tuttosport or calciomercato?

It's stupidly hot here. Was fun getting to see Villa/Afellay/Pinto play with the B team yesterday. Even though it was really subdued.

Got t see dos santos and Afellay leaving in their cars but had t leave before anyone stopped. Was only like 15 people waiting so I am sure someone would have stopped to sign a jersey. All of the peeps had jerseys and sharpies.

2 days until I cross 'go see El Clasico' off my bucket list.

What was this place like when Everton scored and eventually won?

Trip sounds really good. I was contemplating just jetting off to Barcelona to watch a match before I go back to Uni, although it sounds like an idealistic plan, rather than a realistic one.

Was great in here, although the laughs really began post-match when Doicare reared his head and hypothesised that Everton just lumped the ball to Fellaini, meaning they didn't deserve to win the game. Genuinely was a hoot.

Wait, are you trying to tell me doicare would not rationally accept defeat? How shocking and completely out of character for him.

Wait, who?

Edit: Good thing about seeing B and C team players yesterday? Got to see Jean Marie Dongou in action live for the first time. Graham Hunter and a few other folks seem to think he is got to be great. Videos I've seen of him on YouTube are great.
