Martinez said we need 27/28 players.
We've lost Lukaku, Deulofeu, Traore and gained Barry and Besic.
For me it's dreadfully poor upto now, we should have the players in, working on their fitness and team bonding ready for the season, not doing it when the season begins
Don't need to wind my neck in, simply stating facts, true about the youth, but i counted 24 including the likes of Garbutt, so we're still short. I hardly think he's calling up 7/8 new youngsters though.Martinez was including youth players stepping up. None of us have a real idea (aside from garbutt) which players he thinks are ready to step up so maybe wind he neck in a wee bit on the numbers of players brought in.
But if you need it, we haven't actually gained Barry, he was here last season.

For those commenting "ridiculous thread" and going off topic deliberately:
The purpose of this Poll and the next one is to chart the highs and lows of the transfer season.
To see if people are favourable or against Martinez's overall transfer policy as the summer finishes.
If you don't care fine. Don't vote. Don't go off topic.
If you do. VOTE or comment thats fine.
Its not a "ridiculous" thread. Its to simply gauge overall views of whats happening by polling
Good points mate, for me i'm just worried as i've seen this happen before, we get into Europe, promises of strengthening the team and then nothing. I want us to push on now, Bobby told us in March we have £27m from player sales still, plus the new tv deal, yet i don't see it being spent (yet)24 + likely signing of Lukaku (who will slot straight in as he knows everyone) + more than likely two loan signings (who we don't need to be available for the first game because they aren't likely to be coming in as guarunteed first 11 players) = 27 (ye magic number)
27/28 is a number bobby thought would be ideal before he got to preseason. He may have seen l, for example, Besic can play right back and center half. And had some concerns regarding them positions alleviated.
To be perfectly honest fans judging the transfer window activity before it closes seems a waste of time to me anyway but I'm just saying I don't think there is much need to worry at this point in time.
It's Roberto's budget and he'll use it as he sees fit.

Maybe in a month i'll be proven wrong, but it smacks of Everton
A poll posted on 29th July asked us to rate the transfer window as of 30th July ? That's either the methodology of a fragmented mind or there's been some editing. Naughty naughty Bizo.
