True - but I actually know Joe Lewis eats paintings. You can connect the dots.
Well, if you've got the Monet to do it....

That may be the case, but where do you draw the line?
If the agent, player and club are all giving us the signal that he's available, it's pretty unanimous that we should try.
If the club start titting us around, do we persist or go with Plan B? Based on a pretty unanimous consensus that can be inferred from posts on here, we shouldn't give up and get the "plan B" player. So, we continue.
If we fail, we fail at least trying. With the things that are coming out of Utd, it doesn't sound to me like we are (for example) not offering enough for martial - it sounds more like they are throwing the toys out of the pram over Toby.
All just speculation, but I'm simply suggesting that it's unusual behaviour for Mourinho to do a 180 on a player so quickly, so it'll be for manipulation I'm sure.
The problem if alternatives are abroad is as the days tick by the more the foreign clubs will see how desperate the English clubs are becoming thus it will push prices up. That's not even taking into consideration fact foreign clubs know they can rinse a bit more out of English clubs due to PL tv deal.
Us and paying over odds just won't happen so it's one hell of a risky game now because foreign clubs don't need to rush, they can chill till end of deadline day as they know they've got an extra 3 weeks to replace a sale.
No doubt trying to force the board on WillianI wouldn’t believe Mourinho for a minute. He’s probably just trying to put pressure on Woodward to tie up a couple of attacking signings themselves.
We’ll only get Martial if we sell them Alderweireld and obviously that isn’t a given.
I think if it was as simple as that we would deal but they I believe want Toby but won’t give us martial, they don’t need to sell martial as he ain’t going into his last year of contract like Toby is!!I wouldn’t believe Mourinho for a minute.

thats due to world cup, Lingard and Rashford will also come into it, and will he play Pogba as well, one of Mata and Martial will go imoJose said that Sanchez, Martial and Mata make up his 3 players behind Lukaku when the season starts. Cheeky bid for Rashford? He'd be a great asset helping to fill the AM/ Backup forward positions within our squad with possibile and needed departures
Precisely this, as his actual quote was mata, sanchez and martial as a front three with no lukaku either. Don't think we can learn too much on Martial from it as Jose's games.thats due to world cup, Lingard and Rashford will also come into it, and will he play Pogba as well, one of Mata and Martial will go imo

Every sane manager would say the same... imagine if he would have left out Martial in that quote - media would run riot with Martial stories now
Would not give much on such quotes... there are more than enough examples where manager said similar things and players left shortly afterwards
