Everyone knows money rolls in soccer; in fact, a transfer window is the biggest marketplace where millions of dollars change their hands coz this is the period when clubs bid for other clubs’ players, hence everyone waits for a lucrative offer before window’s deadline closes. This is something that is being happened with Everton’s manager Roberto Martinez who is curious to see United placing a bid for two of his players: Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini. He got the news of defending club’s interest from media sources and when United did not respond, he got angry with the whole transfer window threshold coz only four days are left in current one. Out of two players, Baines has reportedly requested himself to the manager to let him go while Fellaini is another dissenting player who wants to leave Goodison Park. Actually, United could be looking for more bargaining prospects with current aspiring players along with desperation their clubs have shown, and moreover, if these transfers take place; there would be a chain of transfers either in this window or in a near future and Martinez knows this. Probably, he has a backup plan to counter the situation and maintain his top place in the leaderboard.
He said about this, “You always need to make sure when the window closes, the squad is stronger than it was when you started. That doesn’t mean you will never lose players. It means you need to be prepared for any situation. That is what we are focusing on for the next four days in the window. There is a lot of speculation and stories, but once you have important games to prepare for, it is a bit of a farcical position that goes against the values we are trying to present in the Premier League.”
He further asked for a look at the current system and pronounced it a ‘footballing circus,’ which shows his anxiety about United bids, he added, “I am sure the authorities will look at it and do something about it because it is becoming a bit of a footballing circus and it is not helping anyone. It is not just for Everton. It happens at every football club up and down the country, not just the ones who are fighting to win the title or avoid relegation.
“Unfortunately it is the reality of the game. I do feel a bit worried about it. It is not getting easier and it is not getting better.”
