Was at an LMA dinner thing last night through work, and Roberto Martinez was on my table, and ended up sitting next to him for the best part of 3 hours. I asked quite a few questions, and the one that stands out is "who would you pick from Liverpool's current team, to go to Everton, if money were no object"? He said Adam Lallana, saying that he believes he is one of the most naturally gifted English attacking midfielders in the league at present.
He also said we enquired about Barkey in the summer, as did City and Chelsea, and that he regrets missing out on Origi.
A bluenose maybe, but a very decent chap, and extremely passionate about football and the way the game should be played.
