@ianefc is that your biggest fear, that Lukaku and Stones will leave? I dont think they will but its important to remember that they are individuals and can be replaced. I always like to think big picture which is why since Royle was manager ive hoped we would start building something like Martinez is now.
Attacking football + yoing players for the long term. Its exciting and it means we have conveyor belts of talent being improved,gaining experience etc.
When Lukaku and Deulofeu, Stones etc have a couple of seasons with talent around them in each position and quality depth then i'll judge them.
I dont know why they wouldnt sign extensions myself as they have everything they need at the club...unless they are impatient for silverware which we may provide this season.
@bluestevon i just think they will be affected by tiredness and lack of depth soon...last 6 games i think they will struggle. If we were in Utd position and signed Butland and Yarmolenko this window id put money on us to overtake them.
@davek whats your thoughts on mirallas? Is he in the shop window or do you think martinez will keep him and play him?
@Khalekan remember what we had under Walter Smith....i remember being so excited to see Dacourt,materazzi and Bakayoko signed + simonsen for th future and collins a steady eddy upgrade on what we had.....and he left us with memoriea of hughes gazza and ginola.
Or mike walker who seemed like a great appointment at the time but was hated...
The sacking of Royle until now has seen so much negative football....Royle played exciting football and Martinez is doing the same.
i wonder if royle or duncan ferguson were the manager if they wouldnt get much more praise than martinez.
