But why did he sign those players? Because he had no money to buy better.
Alcaraz - free
McGeady - 2m
Niasse - 13m
Galloway - can't remember but it was buttons
Kone - 6m
Robles - 2.5m
McCarthy - 13.5m?
Traore - loan
Tarasaj - 3m
Koeman got a huge budget and signed
Schneiderlin - 20m
Bolasie - 28m
Keane - 25m
Klaassen - 24m
Rooney - 10m
Pickford - 30m
Allardyce signed
Tosun - 28m
Walcott - 20m
Huge differences. The only time Martinez was given a considerable sum for one player he bought Lukaku for 28m.
Oh how we could have done with that acumen during the Koeman and Allardyce days.
To the Martinez list mate you can add:
Holgate - £2m
Gareth Barry - free
Eto'o - free
Besic - £4.8m
Cleverley - Free
Lennon - £4m
Rodriguez - £500k
Deulofeu - £4.3m
8 players there all for just a little over £15m.
