Don't be so sure, we have 7 games left and will very likely lose at least one of them. When that happens, the whoppers will be out in full force again. Short-sightedness and short-memory is a scary combination.

That's my point, don't see any of martinez's transfers doubling or trebling there price tag

Player Valuation: £35m
well something has happened in that dressing room since the Newcastle game. Before we beat the barcodes we couldn't get near our opponent's let alone actually make a challenge, the captain had disappeared into his shell and teams were walking into our back four with ease. The Newcastle game was a complete departure ,with the ball being put forward quicker people pressing all over the park and our captain leading from the front and getting into the ref's also. I guess we will never know if the manager/captain or players made this change but it has worked fantastically. Me personally, I think a little guy from north London set the tone with his work rate and commitment and the rest have followed suit.
Moyes obviously had a better transfer nous than Martinez, over a very long period of time. Bloody hell, it was the guys only major asset and he made a career out of it.
Martinez spent £10m on Mauro Boselli and Ronnie Stam FFS. Not only that, he actually trained Arouna Kone and Antolin Alcaraz every day at Wigan and thought they were good enough for Everton!
What Martinez is good at is getting about a 1 in 2 ratio on transfers, and luckily the ones he's got right thus far - Lukaku and McCarthy - were the big money ones. He tends to get the players that fit his system well, but for every Deulofeu, there's a McGeady.

It didn't happen then. It happened 30 minutes into the first Kiev game.
"Whoppers" for being annoyed about one of our worst seasons in memory, after a net spend of £30m+?
Christ...
Richard Wright????
Is that John Heitinga, our player of the year, on a flop list????????
We didnt lose much on Bily or Koldrup and Beattie, nothing money.

in memoriam - 1965-2024
We made the money back on Kroldrup and a fair chunk from Bily, got years out of Heitinga (including one player of the year season). Wright and Beattie were duds, and even with Beattie we only made a loss of £2m ultimately. Of that, around £12m or so lost; hardly £30m, even if you wanted to be silly and include wages.
