Let's think differently for a minute. Forget about Martinez, let's look at external factors, before Martinez took over the only player we would liked to have kept hold of was Kevin Mirallas. At the time he was our biggest property and for him to stay was to be massive. Now since Martinez came to the club he has built an incredible squad, we have big players like John Stones, Ross Barkley, Romelu Lukaku, Gerard Deulofeu. I know only two are Martinez's signings but Stones and Barkley did not have interest before-hand. So the season 2013-14 sort of passed by without major talk of transfers, Leighton Baines turned down Man Utd. 2014-15 there was interest in Ross Barkley but nothing significant, there was dressing room unrest and we done what we had to, to alleviate it. 2015-16 started with official offers for John Stones, even after he handed in a transfer request, they were turned down but in my opinion this started some squad unrest. Steven Naismith was sold to Norwich, some pleased, some not. I would say Steven was a good character of the dressing room, had a great personality and would've been one to speak up when needed. So we bring in a Centre forward from Russia and it was obvious to see there was some barriers with his adjusting difficulties. Now there's talk of bids for Romelu Lukaku and this will be on his mind as well as other players. So aside from the manager, there are other situations which could be pulling the current squad apart. Players don't know their futures, players don't know who they'll be playing with next season. There's uncertainty. Players aren't sure if they'll be kept on. So things like this will affect chemistry. I'm not trying to make excuses, all I am saying is there's other factors. I wrote this quite quickly so apologies for not elaborating in detail.
With our players constantly spoken about by the press, it's bound to do no good for the dressing room and this will be playing a role in the squad unrest.
