Confirmed Signing Cuco Martina

[suey_11]

Back up player, can't rely on Kenny he's just a kid what if his form dips plus with Europa League fixtures there will need to be some rotation.
Makes sense not everyone we buy is going to be a starter.

ONE 20 YEAR OLD RIGHT BACK ISN'T ENOUGH FOR A TEAM CHASING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PLAYING IN 4 COMPETITIONS. WE NEED BACK UP. MARTINA IS BACK UP.

HOW IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT FFS?

Beat me to it.

 

[LABlue2]

I'm not too against this but I hope he's backup to Kenny.

Good things come to those who wait.

Welcome

contradiction, a completely gash back up isnt gonna help any of that.

Out of all the transfers completed, and the speculation of other wonderful players that might arrive, this is the one ive been waiting for.

Get in.

What's your suggestion? Player prices have been massively inflated so to get anyone better I reckon we'd have to spend at the very least £8m, probably over £10m.

Paul Joyce says we are signing him.

Not on his twitter he hasn't.

I honestly don't get why people are upset on this. Coleman injured, Martina will get a one year or at most two year contract and then cover in case Holgate or Kenny aren't up to the job.

No brainer signing. It's either this, or spend big money on someone for the long term, and given we have Coleman for that why bother?

Agreed.

Free transfer, low wages, knows the expectations of the manager, must of impressed that manager previously and help ease the pressure on an untested (yet exciting) prospect.

Absolute no brainier.

if we really had to sign a short-term right back i'd have got zabaleta, added bonus it wouldve pissed west ham off again.

Zabaleta is quite old though?

Not that I think Holgate is a fantastic rb, but he's surely better than Martina, which makes him a better backup. That's the only bit about it that I find weird, unless Koeman is going 3 at the back or doesn't rate Holgate anymore, or doesn't rate Kenny like the rest of us do, all of which would be slightly surprising

I doubt Koeman is going to go out of his way to pick up one of his ex players just to stick him on the bench

This is Alcaraz and Duffy all over again in my opinion

I'll wait and see anyway, but my fear is that Martina will get the lions share of starts over Kenny

Not a bad shout, although I'd expect his salary would be a fair bit more than Martina's.
