Come on people... we have bought a striker who has EPL experience, a CB with EPL experience and a Spanish goalie with a little EPL/FAC experience as back up to TH. We also loaned a creative Barcelona player who does not come with a Drenthe reputation or any other rep than being a class act. Martinez also said he wants more signings plus we had youngsters in the National teams over the summer suggesting they are good prospects. But because we are not in the rumour rags much this week and lower tier prem sides are picking up former link-ees we are all down in the dumps! We are not going to buy everyone.
Hopefully Martinez is using this long time off matches to see if the squad can perform the way he wants them to - whatever that is?
Likely he will decide in a week or so which of them cant, and some may go..... which I am sure will result in even more hand wringing and bed wetting in this thread.
"You'll never win anything with youngsters" Hansen"s glorious egg-on-face moment. It could happen again lids. We do have the talent, if it can be unleashed, and if someone is willing to take the chance. They haven't been given the oxygen under
Moyes, in the way that others have been at nearly every other senior club (Wilshire, Walcott, Sterling, Wickham, Moses, Ronaldo and several lids at Villa, to name a few all broke through as teenagers). We have 3 or 4 with real potential to make a mark - Barkley obviously, but Long, Garbutt, Stones...
We don't necessarily need to spend gazillions.
