Martinez is vastly superior at buying quality.
Dead right. What usually is the making of a manager is his ability in the transfer market because good players
score goals and win matches. Look at the other Premier League managers in the last few years and you will see
managers paying over the odds for crap. Villa, LFC and Newcastle are examples of crap purchases.
What is strange about RM is that he has bought well ( Niasse's file is still in the pending tray) but he screws up player selection ( Howard ) and team tactics and game management ( crap subs) and as a result has failed to maximize Lukaku's time with us and not brought the team up to the next level.
So we start next season worrying about who's going, who's staying and what time of team are we.
Despite the dissapointment however my feeling is that we should still give him another season just because he might
pick some winners this summer and that he might also learn from his mistakes. Also, because the alternative managers
are far from convincing.
