Roberto Martinez discussion

[Goat]

8 goals, sold for a loss of 3m, still not even close to a waste of money to Kone.

And its not like Moyes worked with him for 12months prior to buying him.

Total of 84 appearances in all competitions = 9 goals.

Cheers Bily. It was a emotional.

Anyone using the signing of Kone as any sort of positive to gain advantage in an argument is skating on extremely thin icelol.

I personally think pointing at one player in isolation as evidence of a track record is pretty foolish.

Anyone who says Moyes was some sort of idiot in the transfer market is, er, blinkered, maybe. And judging Martinez on Kone, who has been a little bit injured, kind of overlooks some other ones.

But hey ho.

One thing you can't criticize Moyes for is an eye for an unproven player. Until Martinez plucks one out from somewhere unWigan related, the jury's out for me.

What is this obsession of comparing Martinez to Moyes? They are different managers, with different styles, different pros and different cons.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Moyes was a well known knob jockey, but his transfer record was sound, prudent, successful even.

Is that a @MickM86 lyric?

 

[Brennan]

The fact that Damon is allowed on here and Mick isn't is a travesty
