Roberto Martinez discussion

[Toffeelover]

Regards the post by Toffeeslam raising the subject of signings. Could be interesting if these were analysed into forward line, midfield and back four. Feel pretty sure this would reveal a bias to the upfront!

 

[Elong]

What??

So your saying he needs more than than 100m he's already spent to get us challenging the top 6 teams?

Haha starting to sound more and more like RAWK in here.

 

[LAToffee]

No, he's worked with these players for 3 years and we are still a shambles. Look at what Potch has done at Spurs. They are a much tighter unit. Potch teams always kill us coz Martinez can't adapt his tactics. This transfer kitty might be our last chance to break the top 4. It is too important to risk giving it to Bobby.

Potch? Really?

 

[balggy]

Wow, even if no other managers outside the ones you mentioned didn't finish over 72 points. The argument is still so very lame.

But I'll prove you blisteringly stupidly wrong anyway..

92 season, villa 74 points, Norwich 72

93 ", Blackburn 84, Newcastle 77

94 ", Forest 77, Rs 74, Leeds 73

95", Newcastle 75

98", Chelsea 75

2000" RS 80

2004", Arsenal 83, United 77

2006 ", Rs 2006......

Do you want me to go on because I'm getting tired of this, in general like.

Wow, neve realised forest came third in the prem

Wigan and an FA cup win is like us winning the CL. That's the enormity of it.

Wigan compete in the fa Cup every year and have been to last 16 and finals and at the time only a dozen or so had a better chance than them to win it. We have not even got into the champions league even if were a team that competed in it regularly at a low level your statement is wrong.

Tryin to post on a blackberry is nightmare. I lost patience.

Absolute nonsense, Wigan were winning the Freight Rover trophy the year after our last European success.
If you got home from work and found Martinez in bed with your wife, you wouldn't tuck him in your lash her out. M

Good goin' , sir.

Then lets judge...a lot of people said that after last season and were willing to give Martinez a chance after his debut season.

The defeats and the manner of them are bad enough but the post match comments seem to be bizarre at best and makes him out to be a space cadet living on another planet.

Look attacking wise this team certainly know where the goal is and we have played some sexy football this season how ever defensively this has been the worst I have seen for years in terms of how we capitulate at the 1st sign of trouble add to that the defensive record and alarm bells start to ring.

Would I trust Martinez with a bucket load of cash in the transfer market ? well he has not signed too many duds yet so not worried there but we need to invest in the defensive area's based on what's gone on. The question is can Martinez learn from this season and the last to tweak the system to be more solid at the back ??? Based on what I have seen so far sadly that's NO.

Read somewhere we haven't replaced Distin which is a interesting thought but we also need leaders !!

Ok I stop rambling now

Not rambling mate. Some good points there.
I think he's the right man still.

In fairness, yes.

But needs must.

 

[whiteshadow]

What??

It's actually £90m over 3 seasons and that's not net spend, add in the fact the top 6 spend more money than us and I'm not sure what relevance your point has.

The team doesn't need to improve by much at all and we'd shoot up the table. We all know we've got players that are capable of doing that if we get our balance right and add a couple of players to the starting eleven.

I don't know for sure RM is capable of doing that but if he does we'll be playing great football and challenging the top teams. I think it's worth giving him next season barring a collapse in the last few games of this season.

Hahahahahahahahaha outside of loads of examples I could prove anything in the world.
