Player Valuation: £80m
I think even his biggest critics will concede that Martinez makes good purchases.
I'd have 100% trust in him to spend the cash wisely. And most others would too. His record rivals Moyes - allowing for the time period differences and inflation.
I said this to the ark fella today (who wants Martinez sacked). You can't say he hasn't spent well. Kone has been ropey, other than that they've all worked out. Most Kopites think 50% success rate on 20 million plus players is a great return.
It's odd you mention Moyes really. There are some parallels. I always thought Moyes built excellent squads on his budget but failed to get the best out of them. The same is true for Martinez really. He has built a brilliant squad who at present he is struggling to get the best out of.
He has spent more money than Moyes. But these things are relative. To the rest of the league we remain around half way in terms of money spent and wage bill.
Of all the things really anyway can say about either Moyes or Martinez, you can't say we don't spend money wisely. We obviously have a very strong scouting network who deserve a lot of credit!
