This might have been suggested already, if so thank god, but I'd like Martinez to make full use of his knowledge of Spain and any connections he has out there instead of going for targets from Moyes' era e.g Fer, Vadis, Bony, etc. We need to stop being soft and take advantage of other clubs like they would take advantage of us. Of course, I'm referring to the financial situation of several La Liga clubs. If Arsenal can sign a player of Cazorla's standard on the cheap from La Liga, we should really be looking at what we can find. The fact Martinez has history of doing this (Kone, Diame) makes me optimistic this is the sort of direction he'll go in.

Also, we now have a Spanish manager who's likely to adopt a "footballing regime" the Spanish giants (Barca, Real) would be happy for their youth prospects to develop under. I see stories all the time about how they will only loan out their youth to the right "footballing" club. They don't want "the next Xavi" playing long ball at Stoke for example.

Just look at this Alvaro Morata chap who's scored three goals in three games at the U21 Championship. Obviously we'd have to wait for Real Madrid's new manager to assess his squad first, but should he become available to loan then I see no reason why we couldn't put our name in the hat now with Martinez on board.

I like this - hopefully his knowledge of La Liga could possibly unearth a young player with potential for the future and build on our own youth policy - I know that EFC are constrained by money problems, but I still think that we should show intention with our summer signings to progress - that is all that I would ask of Martinez in this window...

He can play on the left or behind the striker. At worst he could compete with Pienaar. 19 years old and has Champions League experience. I'm not saying "yes, this is the one for us" just hopeful that someone at the club is aware of these quotes and they are asking questions.

Actually we've loaned loads of players without buying them.

Thanks for saying this so I didn't have to :)
 
Why not bring manny back? 27 knows the club, in the last year of his contract and the player with the ability to play that killer pass that we have been craving!!
