Anyone else a tad curious as to what Martinez has planned with Lennon? Gives me the impression that he's looking at moving certain players around/trying a new system.

Glad to see Aaron back ,from day one he put the majority of the squads work rate to shame and pulled performances from players around him. Needed him last Saturday when the pressure on the ball was non existent. Straight in for me against Chelsea.

Poor window. I don't agree with everyone's obsession with a number 10, I think the creativity needs to come from further back in the central midfield positions. Unfortunately we are stuck with the very average Barry and McCarthy partnership that never creates anything.

I think the belief was that if we bought a No 10 Barkley would play deeper. By not buying a No 10 Martinez has effectively signaled that he isn't going to break up Barry and McCarthy.

He guess he might on occasion play Kone or Naismith as the 2nd striker but both aren't good enough.

Wheres our yearly fix of contract dave?

Definitely weren't in for this lad then:

HENDRY MOVES TO WIGAN

Wigan have signed defender Jack Hendry from Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle for an undisclosed fee.

Hendry is a right back, so I wonder what the implications are for Kenny?

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Why? Even if you're not a fan of his, better to have Naismith than for the money to disappear down the back of the sofa.

No it's actually not mate.

Thank god it's over can concentrate on the FOOTBALL now.

It'd be nice if one of them was left footed though.

And Martinez actually starting with 2 wingers.

 

[davek]

Deulofeu
Cleverley
Henen
Holgate
Rodriguez
Mori
Lennon

Realistically, 4 first team players in and none left. If I'd heard that equation before the window I'd have been impressed and looking forward to it. However, one of them HAD to be the playmaker. It's a massive omission he isn't in.

A generous 5/10 from me.

Can you lock this now please?

HE'S THERE

 

[evo1878]

Craps maybe a bit harsh but the squad is indeed bulked out with players no genuine top 4/6 contender would go near.

Dead wood in the Squad includes pienaar, Gibson, MacGeady, and hibbert. All of these, possibly Osman too, will struggle to make more than a few appearances this season if any. None should make an appearance but for severe injuries. We go with what we had ...

He will just be rotating him with the other 16 right wingers available to him mate when he's playing just one of them with Naisy on the left

Yep. That is the soft underbelly of this window for me.
