A bit harsh that. Bringing in a player for nothing who fully understands your system when you've just been hired seems to make a lot of sense to me.
Is he good enough? Maybe not, maybe so. Having his experience around on the training ground I'm sure paid high dividends.
The age of Distin, Jags and Indeed Alcaraz means finding a young, left sided centre half a priority. We have done alot of scouting around Holland and Belgium for a defender so I expect someone to come in from Europe in the summer. The lad from Forest was scouted but I think he will be expensive and perhaps too big a risk for the price.I expected pelters for my Alcaraz comment, and I wasn't wrong. Martinez likes the ball playing out from the back. Both Jags and Distin, top defenders, have struggled in varying degrees to adapt to this system. Our two best centre backs at this aspect of the game are Stones and Alcaraz. Bobby has come to a club were we have normally been better at defending than Wigan, but poor as Wigan were, they played out of defence very well when they were on their game. Alcaraz has made defensive mistakes, but no more than Distin,Jags or Stones. Duffy will not make it at Everton, because although he has a very good defensive header in his locker, he does not have much else that is Prem standard. Within two seasons I reckon we will have a new centre back alongside Stones, who will be exactly Bobbys type of player.

Browning will hopefully get a chance soon. I doubt Duffy will make It sadly, I hope he proves me wrong.What about Browning and Duffy, should Roberto be giving them some game time say at Hull where there is nothing to the game apart from pride and points.
Not many actually have a top class 4th choice centre back. In fact, does anyone?
He'll do
I think Martinez tried to sign Stones for Wigan. So he knew what was thereI am sure when he was signed, he was supposed to be 3rd choice. Stones displaces him thanks to his talent this season.
