I was pretty mad when Martinez signed and ee brought in Kone Robles and Alcaraz + didnt ship out the deadwood as soon as he arrived but then seeing how he setup the team and his focus on building a top attacking young exciting team ive gone the opposite way now and am really impressed in general with him -- others seem to have gone from positive to negative solely based on inconsistent results with a young side.
I think he deserves the chance to build his own team, thats all ive ever really said. Hes close now and in summer there will be 9 players out i think (as i listed in my best squad thread)....and he will have money to spend on transfers and wages.
If he keeps the players he wants together and adds pure first eleven quality at GK / CM /CF in the summer then im confident next season we will be pushing top 4.
The following season we will probably need to sign another CB to replace Jags and a forward to replace Kone...i think he deserves 2 more years.
I am looking at the level of quality and age of say Breel Embolo / Ruben Neves / Bernardo Silva types who are proven in europe, young and can fit his style...
With players like that coming in then over the next 2 seasons our stars will stay and be added to and we will look like a major force on paper to rival an arsenal type squad who have had a decade to gradually make additions whilst Martinez hasnt even had 3 seasons.
Im excited about the summer changes.
