Martinez on Moshiri - “We're looking forward to the chemistry (he has) with the fans."
I know English isn't the mans first language, but he does talk some utter drivel at times.

How much for the pair?
?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Lukaku cost £28m, not £28k. McCarthy was £13-16m wasn't he? Those two transfer fees are more money than Moyes saw in the last 5 years.
And it's not like we play a youngster every other game. We played Galloway because we HAD to, the rest haven't even been on the bench, so I like how they're developing in the U21s until they get sold to Conference teams again.

Leicester, West Ham, Utd and Liverpool. We are a decent manager away from competing with Spurs.
Next?

Could Rafael Benitez be Newcastle's gain - and Everton's loss?

This didn't go so well for Rafael Benitez - but was one of the few places where he didn't bring silverware
In the summer of 2013, four weeks before Everton went down the road to replace David Moyes as manager – I tentatively suggested an appointment even closer to home.
Here's an abridged extract of that column...
What kind of qualities would Blues fans like to see in any new Everton manager?
A trophy-winning pedigree would be nice. Obviously.
Ideally he’d be out of contract – to avoid any transfer pot being diminished by compensation claims.
He must want the job, of course.
Ability to settle in the area would be an advantage.
Steve McClaren and Newcastle hasn't been a good mix
And ideally he would have the ability to win matches at Anfield.
Step forward the man who fits the bill in every single category, yet still features below Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Dougie Freedman and Gus Poyet in the betting.
Rafael the Gaffer for Everton?
Clearly Señor Benitez would have to accept that perhaps Everton isn’t as small a club as he once thought.
But his Europa League success on Wednesday night was, impressively, the fourth successive club he’s brought silverware to.
Would Everton even consider the claims of a manager who is clearly a winner?
Probably not.
If so, it would be their loss and somebody else’s gain.
- Kevin Ratcliffe: Sorry, Roberto - but Everton's season DOES rest on FA Cup tie
- Everton senior players still have faith in me, says Roberto Martinez
- Everton injury update: 'Nearly impossible to control' virus that has struck Finch Farm
- Everton's FA Cup showdown with Chelsea will not make or break our season, says Roberto Martinez
That earned him his dream job – and the only time he failed to land silverware for a club in the last 15 years … although he was only in charge at Real Madrid for seven months and his Copa Del Rey bid bizarrely ended in disqualification.
Now Newcastle United look likely to be the next football club to test Benitez's Midas touch.
If Rafael Benitez can end Newcastle United's near half-century trophy drought he really will be a managerial magician.
And Everton will most definitely have missed out.
Martinez will hope what goes around comes around on Saturday
The Chinese call it Yin and Yang.
Evertonians prefer the more prosaic Sod's Law.
It's the immutable principle that when their beloved Blues get things right off the pitch, it all goes Pete Tong on it.
And Blues fans have just endured the perfect example of that law.
Everton's powerbrokers enjoyed an outstanding week.
The long-standing search for investment finally came good when Bill Kenwright unearthed a man with nine years' experience of Premier League football, and more money than the Queen.
Then five days before the Premier League were pressured into announcing a cap on away ticket prices, Everton reduced their own season ticket prices for next season.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and chief executive Robert Elstone deserve praise
Of course they could afford to. In four years, Everton's media rights have soared from £50m a year to £130m.
But so has everyone else's. And still Everton were the only Premier League club to argue for a cap on ticket prices for away fans in early February.
The Premier League finally buckled on Wednesday.
Everton's self-proclaimed People's Club moniker, a tag which winds up so many rival fans, was, in this instance, entirely appropriate.
And the maligned Bill Kenwright and Robert Elstone deserved to bask in some deserved praise.
All it needed was a third successive win – a sixth in seven games – to prompt even the Bluest of Blue Meanies to break into a smirk.
And then, well. You all know what happened next.
But hey, there's another well known idiom - “what goes around comes around.”
Roberto Martinez has spouted so much positivity as Everton manager, could he finally get his reward tomorrow?
Heaven knows, he needs it.
Agreed.
Benitez, Jose, Moyes....different levels of more or less the same thing. Control freaks with more interest in the result and their role in it than the actual sport itself.
I understand why people would want the first two. Trophies. Fine. I personally don´t want to watch any more of that stuff after all those seasons of moyesball. Maybe the current boss will end up being shown the door and be seen as a failure but I´d definitely like somebody more on his side of things than the options above.

Napoli was the next club to benefit from Benitez's tactical acumen. And predictably he brought even more silverware – an Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup.

FFS, the plagiarising hack has just about surpassed himself there. Benitez.
Keep putting your finger on the pulse of Evertonians "Prenno".
Nobhead.
FFs the fact that Rafael Benitez has over 7% of the vote here says all I need to know about this thread. WTF!
