Bit of a disappointing deadline day for CFC in my opinion. Letting Moses and Lukaku go and keeping hold of Ba is a negative move. Thought we'd go in for a 'worldy' striker.
Eds - do you know of any bids that were made yesterday that were unsuccessful? {Ed002's Note - There was a final attempt for a striker but it was not viable at the price and there was agreement for Ba to move but it was blocked by an insurer.}

Who was this striker Ed? {Ed002's Note - Martinez.}

2.) 03 Sep 2013
Can you say who the striker was we tried for ed {Ed002's Note - See above.}

Ed 002 Do you find it surprising we are willing to spend £25/30 on Willian but not a similar amount on a top striker? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea which "top striker" you are talking about, sorry.}

Ed, can you see us bidding for Martinez again in January, given we loaned out Lukaku, aswell, you responded to a reply saying that we were interested in signing a cb in which he was price out, whoever that was (I pressume Mangala), do you see us perhaps bidding in January as well, thanks {Ed002's Note - I can't say what will happen in January, but neither player will likely be any more financially viable.}

Ok, thanks Ed

Ed 002 I was referring to Martinez who I think was available for around £35/40m which I know is more than Willian, but I would have thought a bigger priority given our squad.
Obviously the club don't agree but I wondered what your take on this was? {Ed002's Note - You are miles away from what they were asking.}

Thanks for clarifying that Ed 002 that's just typical of Porto!

I wouldn't worry mate, the only way I think you have to look at a transfer window IMO is, has the squad improved from last year and I would say yes definitely we've got mourinho back as well. We are in a comfortable position now, we have the best youth squad as well plus loanees. We will get a striker in jan or next summer whom ever that may be and no need to buy this dm IMO as chalobah will be ready next year so I think he's worth the wait
