Jackson Martinez

[Pizy 17,860]

The release clause is 40m EUROS

Still overpriced and would stunt Lukaku's growth as a player.

Didn't say he wasn't overpriced

Well, Renascença is reporting Jackson Martinez's agent is right now in Porto discussing a new contract for his client. They say they are on the verge of closing a new deal that will keep the colombian in Porto until 2018, with a new €60mil release clause. Deal to be anounced in few hours, they say.

Was Jose alerted by this new release clause and wants to wrap up the deal quickly so he won't face another "Cavani story" next summer?

Typical porto, cunts

Porto did the same with Falcao, bumped up his release clause when they saw teams sniffing and then sold him 1 week later to Atletico.

Is he even that good? only had one (good) season in portugal

They sure know how to make business

I found nothing from espn about the offer.....probably Bullshit

Drogba had one good season with Marseille .. then he became a Chelsea legend!

He's good but if you're expecting a Drogba, you'll be disappointed

He is prolific, definitely an upgrade on ba and torres but certainly not lukaku and he is not the kind of striker we need, he is totally dependent on service from wingers and midfielder's and 99.9 percent of his goals are scored by sneaking in behind the defence, he has no link up play really and hardly(if at all) scores while facing a defensive wall therefore he will be very useless against teams that park the bus which we will have to deal with a lot this season.

I still think rooney or eto'o are the best options as they score all kinds of goals as well as create goals for themselves in hard games. My ideal scenario will be to sign rooney/eto'o and martinez then sell of Ba and Torres.

no he won't

[Pizy 17,860]

no he won't

Mourinho isn't playing him now. You think he'd be playing much if we spunked 35m on a new striker?

Its 3 games in, you can't make an assesment on player gametime after 3 games.

Oscar made 2 sub apps in August last season, Azpilcueta was an unused sub for ages until he got games. Check the striker stats for 04/05 and 05/06 under Jose, Lukaku will get more than enough playing time.

Is anybody except espn(fake ?) reporting from the offer ?

Fair enough, mate.

Still say it's too much for this guy.

OK boys, Chelsea have made a bid of 34.8m for J. Martinez.

He´s quick & sleek. Here´s my choice. I hope, Chelsea will get him. The above sum should trigger his release clause, anyway.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

He's not worth £40m. You guys really think he's worth more than Aguero? I definitely don't.

If he played for any club other than Porto he'd probably be a £20-25m player.

why compare him to other players price tags? its pointless! do you think he worth less than Andy Carroll for example?

Just one thing, I never could understand. Chelsea want to buy him, then why complain about his price tag ?

If Roman pays, Jose wants him, buy the player. After all, none of us is going to pitch in any money.
