Good luck to him, seems a good kid, just wasn’t quite good enough unfortunately. |

I suspect that he was just unfortunately the odd man out for Cifuentes’ pragmatism.
Obviously Hodge we had to take as it was a freebie but I’m sure Marti thought he could add to the squad but it quickly became clear that we *had* to ply 2x holding midfielders infront of the back 4 which left Hodge, EDB, Dykes, Andersen looking at the same slot behind the front man.
I worry he might find himself in the same position next season in a 4-3-3 also - I see him as possibly being able to play in the midfield 3, maybe false 9 in a fluid front 3? I’d be amazed (based on no info!) if West Ham aren’t ringing our phone off the hook though to take Callum Marshall for the season and I wouldn’t be surprised if Chelsea were looking at Marti as someone they’d trust with Leo Castledine for the season..
I dunno, I’m rambling I guess but while I like EDB I fear he might end up being a nearly man here |

Hi Bazza,
I would challenge your point on L1 or Scottish Chanpionship as those are not one and the same!
That said, in recognition of the fantastic work the Tiger Cubs team do, and also in Kakays service to the club I’ll happily make a donation now if you can help me figure out how! |

My position for a long time is that I’d personally be surprised if he gets another club in the football league. |

I would guess 13th-16th.
Marti isn’t going to be able to do all the surgery he would like this summer. IMO it would be a 3 year plan to really overhaul the club that I don’t think he will see out. |

Obviously I don’t know the names of who we he lined up, but 100% we had deals to replace Kakay, Richards and Willock had they moved on.
In him not moving I actually agreed with you - the guy has a young family so of course you can respect him not wanting to spend time away from home sat in a hotel for ‘only’ a short loan.
As said on the previous page though, anyone thinking he will turn up as high as L1 this summer I suspect will get a bit of a shock.. |

We had another incoming deal lined up to take his place and wages.
Not going out on long left us a player short as Marti had told him long before then that he wasn’t in his plans.
I don’t really blame him though, a loan outside London in January when you have a young family isn’t an easy decision. |

Good luck to him, by all accounts a nice guy.
Suspect a few will be surprised how many levels he has to drop down to find another club though. |

I wasn’t passing any comment on Dunne who has done a great job filling in, the simple fact though is that Marti will change the way we play this summer to a more fluid 4-3-3 and unfortunately several of those who have done a great job this season cannot play that way. |

Desperately needs a change of scenery. Shake hands, wish the best and move on. |

Why have we signed *insert x player* he’s a Chelsea bastard.
Why have we signed Callum Marshall, he couldn’t get a game at West Brom. |

He will 100% be starting RB if he decides to stick around.
Dunne has done an admirable job of filling in but he was there for his height at set pieces which as we all know our defending of was a war crime until recently.
We will be going 4-3-3 next season and Marti will want his FBs bombing on. |

They were both interested before he came here but neither was willing to take the risk of legal action from Boavista for a squad player.
We will definitely get offers this summer imo, wouldn’t be surprised if we let him go for a pretty nominal fee. |

Eh? Saksena was/is a finance bro playing at working a job like Bhatia.
Their biggest impact was ridding those at the club who were half competent of Briatore’s overbearing micro management and letting them get on with it in peace. |

Nice guy who I understand has been working on his badges behind the scenes, spending a lot of time working with the younger lads.
Hopefully he can fulfil his desire to play another year or two, will be interesting to see where he turns up next albeit I imagine he will have to drop several divisions to another contract! |

Great keeper who has been a victim of the modern obsession with ‘sweeper keepers’.
Fantastic shot stopper, controls his area brilliantly but has cinder blocks for feet which will naturally limit the level he will get to. |

During the Xmas period I was resigned to us finishing bottom - we were having to play Kakay which was akin to giving a 1 goal head start and I had heard from people close to Marti that the club was an absolute shitshow behind the scenes. I even PM’d North on here to see if he’d heard similar as I thought it must be hyperbole.
The success of Marti must be measured not only in the onfield results but also in him ruthlessly binning off those nowhere near the standard required and those letting themselves down behind the scenes. |
