Roberto Martinez discussion

[Goat]

When was the last time we signed two players before July?

2015 mate.

Really can't understand the complaints that Martinez has made the team significantly older - this is a team made up of either Martinez signings or players that Moyes signed/developed but didn't use. The oldest is Cleverley at 25.

Robles​

Browning Stones Galloway Garbutt

McCarthy Besic​

Deulofeu Barkley Cleverley

Lukaku

I like that team.

Until he takes Barkley off for McGeady on 63 minutes.

Moyes played Barkley, he gave him his debut.

Im Confident that we will see one big signing also. And Im not talking about Del here.

I'm not unless you are talking a CB.

Moyes played Barkley, he gave him his debut.

True, should edit that to "didn't use much". However never really go the feeling he trusted him much.

Less than 500 league minutes over the two seasons (although some of that was because of a loan move). Moyes gave Januzaj ~1600 league minutes in just one year.

Am sure he would have played Ross more if he'd stayed though.

When he stops "living" off Moyes players, I might give him some respect.

That's actually quite a good team

And pretty much 7/10th of the most likely starting team too. I goes to show how quickly Martinez is turning this team into his own.

Tbh glad he is using Moyes players rather than casting them all out, Moyes had a fantastic eye for talent.

7/10th?

Math is hard, right.

5 of those 11 players will be first teamers.

I count 8 although you could argue about Robles and Besic I suppose.

No arguing about it, Barry and Howard will play, you probably included Ross, he was borderline.

No more than 6/11.

Boss man to move onto solving those CB and playmaker positions now.

Pffffft.

Pffffft.

Even the plotters will have to hand it to Roberto this summer: he's moving like gangbusters to breakthrough on these transfers. Clevs, Gerri and the haircut all tied down.

Just Dann and a playmaker now...and Lennon when we move that one trick pony divvy Mirallas out.
