Martinez clause is about 28-30m I think. Can't argue against his record. Similar to Falcao's at Porto.

Falcao looked class from the very start, Martinez a little clumsy.

Martinez looks class to me, only problem is he looks a little lightweight for the PL.

I've never seen Martinez, I'm surprised so many of you watch the Portuguese league.

Anyway, what sort of player are we talking about? Sounds like an Adebayor in his prime, which wouldn't be too bad all things considered.

I've only seen him in Champions League, but he looked like a bit of a donkey there. Isn't Fredy Montero outscoring him this season in Portugal? A player on loan from Seattle Sounders. How hard could it be to score goals in the Primeira?

Martinez is anything but lightweight!

Only 76kg according to wiki, that's actually a bit shit (and surprising).

For comparison: Giroud is 88kg, and Bendtner is 84kg.

He is a powerful player; who cares about wiki?

He's bobbins and the product of a completely distorted transfer market. If Wenger rated him he'd have signed him in the summer. We're not ever going to sign Jackson Martinez, I guarantee you.

Yes, yes, you don't rate him. In the real world though, we are linked to a goal machine who has expressed a wish to come play for us.

Stories have been generated because of him whoring himself. Nobody wants the bloke. Even Napoli turned their noses up at him.

I bet that's why Pogba said we and Barcelona are his favorite clubs. Nobody wants him.

He didn't say he wanted to join us.

Ronaldo was at least as vocal as Martinez has been over wanting to Madrid, and Draxler has been about as vocal about us as him too. Suarez even invited a reporter to his home to tell he wanted to join us! Truth is, this happens all the time.

Julio Baptista played for us at around 76 kg

How is 76kg a bit shit?

Well I think, physiologically, that the body holds at least a few pounds of waste at any given time unless you've been starving yourself.

IG thinks that all foootballers should be built like brick shit houses. Kel says the same too actually. Its like they're the same person.

I'm basing it off of my own weight, height, and power really. I know we've been over this before, the whole rugby vs football thing, but I'm constantly shocked at the weights of these players.

I'd personally expect an allegedly "powerful" 185cm striker to weigh more than 76kg.

How shit Suárez must be for whoring himself out all summer to Real Madrid.
