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

[neil999]

But thanks to Lescott, Fellaini, Baines, Jagielka, Johnson (sold at a profit), Coleman, Arteta, Cahill, Peinaar, Oviedo, Howard (3.5m for how many years good service) it can be proven that until Martinez matches him one day then Moyes is clearly superior at this point.

Deny that and you need certifying.

we don't know yet!

Martinez has signed 22 players for a total fee of 100m.

Here are the first 22 signings Moyes made :

Yobo
Baardsen
Rodrigo
Wright
Turner
Li Tie
McFadden
Martyn
Kilbane
Bent
Cahill
Beattie
Plessis
Ruddy
Davies
Kroldup
Arteta
Neville
Valente
VDM
Stubbs
Lescott
AJ

23 players over 4 Seasons for a combined fee of 48m.

And he got 4th at a time where there was, in relative terms, more quality.

But hey-Ho lets continue to pick holes in Moyes to help the Cult and Chico feel better.

 

[neil999]

shall we move onto players sold? Martinez wins on this ...although I suppose anichebe and jelavic might yet prove to be the diamonds that slipped through our fingers..

Moyes finished 17th in this third season.

We're lucky we didn't listen to fans moaning then wouldn't you say?

Yeah but, no but, yeah but......................

Glad the media are now picking up on his failings. Martinez must thank his lucky stars LVG has had the season he has with United, as it has diverted attention away from other underperforming clubs and their managers.

LVG Rodgers Pep and Jose along with the Sours/Leicester story, have save Martonez some serious heat. Plus in the main the media couldn't give a toss about Everton.

I think everyone is forgetting that moyes was ginger

A net spend of 4m as well on all those players.

48m worth of players for 4m.
Martinez has spent 100m for 50m.

Go and have a lie down lad. This is the problem with the cult, won't face facts put before them.

I have stated my case, you have no sensible answer.

That said, I don't want Moyes back and Martinez still has time to save his season.

 

[Efcjake]

No. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Martinez's track record with signings is bad at all, but with our league placement now and the track record of failure as a manager, his days of attracting the Lukaku's and Deulofeu's of this world are over.

We need a manager with pedigree to spend the money we have. Martinez is not that manager.

It's just, if he could sell us when we were skint to these players why would he have a harder time of it now we have the cash to back up some better spending?

Preaching to the converted here brother.

You're work these past 48hrs has been outstanding.

Only problem is you'll do well to cross the divide back to the Cult, if they'll have you after the onslaught, which is a shame for them as they're trying to arrange an inter-cult 5-a-side match and they're struggling for numbers.

Do you think, currently, Lukaku would pick us over West Ham?

We've never been skint whilst Martinez was at the helm.
