35m? I'd rather pay a bit more and get Vidal or Pogba tbh.

Wouldn't say no to Javi Martinez though.

goon

Would we be able to get Vidal or Pogba for a bit more?

Possibly, reckon Wenger could attract Pogba at least. To clarify, the 35m I referenced is in euros btw.

I'd pay 28m for Martinez in a heartbeat.

This is the sort of midfielder I'd like to see with Ramsey.

Claudius

this is a no-brainer
there is talk that we are after a really big midfielder. this guy, Bender. now we're talking.

lorddulaarsenal

Definite yes

Segway

In theory he'd be perfect but based on what we saw when we played Bayern I'm not too keen. Big guy who falls over every chance he gets. Was pathetic to watch.

If Sagna does bugger off then Martinez will be key in providing cover for central defence

Gazza M

yes. perfect foil for rambo. looks like there will be a few bayern midfielders that could be available this summer. we should keep our finger on the pulse

Klaus

I like this rumour. We used to be linked to him all the time when he played for Bilbao. Wenger is probably a fan.

est

Yes, please.

JazzG

I'd take him no questions asked over any of the other DMs we have been linked to but am not sure firstly whether he'd want to join us and then if Bayern would actually let him go. A lot of talk about these Bayern players wanting to leave but tbh I'll believe it when I see it.

He's worth 35m Euros, he proved that last season for them. Are we actually even linked to him, the Bild article doesn't mention us.

marv3llous

Ofcourse would like Martinez. He is a 6'3 DM who can cover at CB. Exactly what we need.

dreamlord

Makes too much sense. Next.

DiabyKungFu

Called it (kinda, sorta). Bild seem to be completely speculating on our interest, though.

He put in a master class in positioning and ball circulation in the 1st leg. He didn't get any hype but he was one of their stand out performers IMO.

I'd love this happen.

Clrnc

So perfect for us. Have the physical presence coupled with technical ability.

But I do remember Wenger saying he wasn't impressed with him during pre-match of last year UCL final.

Qwiss

Getting a smaller forward wouldn't cause as many problems if we had a player with Martinez height too. Can't really afford any more short arses in the team.
