Who the heck is Jackson Martinez

Is this ironic or not? I don't really know anything about Jackson Martinez other than that he's 29, has scored some goals in a Mickey Mouse league, and seems to have hung around that Mickey Mouse league a bit too long.

Such a Mickey Mouse league that nearly every single player that goes from it to another team after being successful there almost always does well. Such a Mickey Mouse League that it's Fifa coefficient is far past France's and creeping up on Italy's. Such a Mickey Mouse player that he's scored something like 15 goals in 22 matches in the Champions League against teams like Bayern Munich, PSG, and Atletico. Such a Mickey Mouse player that he's been top scorer in that league for three years running, surpassing every club and league record, ahead of some other "Mickey Mouse Players" like Falcao, James Rodriguez, and Di Maria.

I'm sorry if you spend your days with your nose so deep up Andy Townsend (or whoever passes for a "analyst" over there's) rear end to realize that "Da Pryde an' Jy of my chlestrol coated artyries Engurland" isn't actually "all that" and is full of team that in fact can't even get past a basic Champions League group stage. But see the rest of the world, they have teams that do. With football that is infinitely more entertaining, of better quality, and with just as relevant top players; of which Jackson Martinez is one. Who has broken forth and featured on every single stage he's faced, chewed up one dimensional defensive tactics like the ones you use over in England for breakfast, and scored with every single part of your body, unlike your average white blooded countryman who couldn't be bothered to try a bicycle kick, much less score from one.

The metro is trolling me saying a £15m deal for Ki Sung Yeung is all sorted and ready to go.

Celtic apparently have a big sell-on clause. We wouldn't be able to replace him for the money, but it worries me that Swansea actually have depth in central midfield, with Britton getting annoyed at lack of game time and Josh Sheehan and Matty Grimes waiting in the reserves. We don't technically need to replace him, unless Monk commits to the diamond.

None are anywhere near as good as Ki on a day when he actually bothers to get involved in the game, or have the same size fan club.
