Martinez and his team examined the possibilities & decided not to bring anyone in. Sure the manager will explain his reasoning tomorrow #EFC

Pathetic.

Yeah...'senor bill, we are quite happy at bringing you a profit again. Cheers.'

Complete and utter bollocks from a puppet.
 
Don't worry lads... Just think in the summer we need to get in at least 2 strikers, a CM and a winger! It'll be exciting for sure!
 

So we have an injury crisis at the back and up front and have solved it by selling a defender and a striker and bringing in a winger and an injured forward on loan. 'Stronger than we started' - ok.

We offloaded a useless forward who never scored and a even more useless defender who was one of the biggest earners at the club.

Still disappointed though.
 

It is a bit mad when you think about it.

1. We needed additional players (particlarly a striker and a centre mid) before the window even opened.

2. We've sold Jelavic and Heitinga.

3. We've signed Traore (to replace Jelavic) and McGeady.

4. We've suffered two long term injuries (Lukaku and Oviedo).

5. We're effectively two bodies down having spent £0 and recouped upwards of £6.5m.

Martinez made a big thing about being in a stronger position after the window than before it; the question is, are we? I don't think so.

To be fair to Martinez he said this at the start of the window before all the long term injuries. Mcgeady and Troare for Jela and hietinga is a slight imporvement. However I agree with our injury crisis currently we had least needed a CM in and a replacement for Heitinga if he left. Im disappointed in that regard

I'm sure everyone will have their theories, but for me this isn't down to Kenwright.
