Bodde handed in a transfer request last month to the Swans with interest from Derby County seemingly having turned his head and made him want away from Swansea.<\/p>\n
That was a belief matched yesterday when quotes attributed to Ferrie Bodde said that he wanted to leave Swansea and asked them to strike a deal with Derby. Quotes that were taken by Roberto with a pinch of salt and he stated his belief that they were taken out of context.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Evening Post on the summer's long drawn out subject, Roberto said "I'm sure these words have been taken out of context<\/p>\n
"I think it might be part of an old, big interview where Ferrie might have said he would like us to consider it if a big club came in for him.<\/p>\n
"But going from that to saying he wants to leave is taking it out of context, and this story counts for nothing as far as I'm concerned.<\/p>\n
"We know there is an English agent who is trying to get Ferrie out of Swansea and unfortunately that's the nature of the game," Martinez added.<\/p>\n
"But it's good to know the way certain agents work. They can do a quick deal and get a lot of money, but slowly clubs will not want to be involved with them.<\/p>\n
"In the long term you find out who the good agents are and which ones are bad for the game."<\/p>\n
"Ferrie will go that far, but in the long term," he said. "For now a bit of continuity will do him good.<\/p>\n
"If a Premier League club came in now, it would be hard to stop him going, but when the challenge is the same, why should you go anywhere else?<\/p>\n
"When you go to a new club you have to adapt to a new style, new players, new fans and a new manager. When that club is at the same level, I don't think that's a good thing.<\/p>\n
"Ferrie has agents ringing him all the time and he's confused. It's a compliment for him that another club is interested, but he's also excited about playing for Swansea in the Championship.<\/p>\n
"I don't know why there's a team who keep talking about one of our players," he said. "We never put anything out on this and I think the facts prove we're not a club who do our business in public.<\/p>\n
"Ferrie was told to put in a transfer request but he never knew what it meant to do that," Martinez said.<\/p>\n
"Since then everyone has shown him what it means and Ferrie has apologised.<\/p>\n
"He has apologised to me, to Swansea City and to all the fans over the meaning of the transfer request.<\/p>\n
"In Holland if you put a transfer request in, you're asking for a move to be considered by the club if there's an opportunity. That's all it means.<\/p>\n
"But in the British game it's a stronger thing. It's more harsh towards the club and the fans and Ferrie realises that now.<\/p>\n
"He doesn't need to withdraw the request officially because in my eyes he has already done that with his phone call to me.<\/p>\n
"To me he's just another part of the Swansea squad pushing to do well in the Championship."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
