There's not much arguement here about Martinez being better for Ross than Moyes. The accusations are that Moyes was actually bad for our youth though. Moyes could have been doing the right thing to a point for some of our young lads and Martinez is reaping the benefit of it or taking it further than Moyes would or felt he could.
Thats just the thing.
Nobody knows where Ross would be now in terms of progress if he wasnt loaned to Sheff Wed, clearly the Leeds loan didnt work out, at the same token nobody knows how Seamus would have progressed if he wasnt loaned to Blackpool and didnt play Right Wing for a Season.
Look I dont wanna "defend" Moyes, but I feel as tho people use the wrong sticks to beat him with, he "ruined" our YOOTH, Jose Baxter would be Messi if MOYLES played him, the facts are, the players that were good enough played, Jack Rodwell, Wayne Rooney, James Vaughan, Victor, the players who werent didnt and are now making a career for themselves in the lower leagues.
Lets be honest, its not like Martinez is using the Yooth all the time, clearly hes giving Ross more gametime, but does anybody know that Moyes wouldnt have given Ross his break out season this year? Sure we can all guess, but thats it really.
As I say, our youth policy is only different due to Martinez giving the younger lads more game time at other clubs, which is a great move for the club and also gives the young uns some much needed games at a level higher than the U21s.
But its not like hes playing them all the time at Everton.
