Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[Carlito]

I can't believe no one ever pulls him for having the audacity to compare what he puts out to a Cruyff side.

He's no better than an Owen Coyle or a Tony Mowbray.

 

[BiggyRat]

Mate did you not see the part when he explained how it is easier to replace a expensive and important player such as Lukaku or Stones than it is a low price player

In fairness, I could replace Hibbert....

 

[ArtetaMoney]

His mind works in mysterious ways, he must be god.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

It's easier because you're getting mega-millions and freeing up a big chunk of the wage budget.

It's probably not so easy to replace Gibson, Pienaar and Osman though. Not rocket science really, is it?

Have to LOL, at people waiting to attack everything that he says.

Yeah mate it'll be a doddle to replace a 25 a season striker and an England CB, while being a bottom half PL side.

As opposed to replacing an ale cart who's never fit, a bloke who can no longer run and an over the hill Ossie

 

[Toffeenick123]

Totally delusional. Johann Cruyff must be turning in his grave having this t... as a believer.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I'm on a mobile with not much data left. You could've just told me you unhelpful tit

I would've told you mate, but I don't know which pages his ITK stuff is.

He's just saying that Martinez is definitely going, but that he doesn't know when exactly.

 

[ted45]

Caption contest.

What's he saying here?

Best one wins a gif off @tommye

Reckon £100 million for the two of them will make it a pretty smooth process.

We can't spend massive money on squad players, but if we need a new striker, then I'm pretty sure we'll have plenty of money

I understood exactly what Martinez meant in that statement. Soz if you don't comprehend

Or mentally ill.

Add a star jump to this pose and expect to see this for Bournemouth's first 4 goals...

 

[dannyboy]

You do though,


Or win us a trophy or get us top 5 god forbid.

Just ignore the fact we can't beat anyone outside the bottom 4?

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Or mentally ill.

The people who believe in both God and Martinez? Yeah I agree.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Just ignore the fact we can't beat anyone outside the bottom 4?

And we massively bottled our "defining week".

 

[Jeff Jones]

Deirdre Barlow dies

So does Cal.

Hmmm lets see -, Gibson - replaced by Besic who cost 2m
Pienaar replaced - well with no one really as Martinez doesn't seem to believe in left sided players does he, but for arguments sake - he was replaced with cleverley for nothing
Osman - an academy lad - could say he was replaced by anothe racademy lad in barkley

So we sell Lukaku fr arguments sake for 60m and free up a huge chunk of our wage budget of arund 70-80k, we can then go out and easily replace his 25 goals like many teams regularly do, hmmm, wait their i see a flaw in this plan mate, Martinez next striker he bought for 13.5m and paid 55k pw so far has played 29 mins either because of a career threathening sore wrist, or because he is utterly terrible

What club outisd the top 4 has sold a player like lukaku - who basically is the goals for the team and came out strogner the followign season - Liverpol with Suarez?, Spurs with Bale? even United with Ronaldo?

It is utter bs from this manager again, he knows he has zero chance to keep any of them here as they all want to jump off the HMS Martinez as it's sinking, and he is doing his usually positive spin on things again, only thing is 'most' of us have cottoned onto this by now only a few die hard ones are left to swallow it up
