DDA 9,946 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Martinez is not good enough. Lovely technique but he is just way too slow. It's like watching your gran getting involved at the family bbq. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 If even Martinez is seen as not good enough for 11th placed Chelsea, it will be nearly impossible to get a "good enough" striker this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always hard to judge players on their world cup performance (e.g. Ziyech for his country and Ziyech for Chelsea is two completely different players) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Really looking forward to next season now and intrigued to see how he'll fare here. I was always a bit sour on him being a possibility but having read a number of things on him, I do think the position this club is in currently and the group of players we have, on paper he appears to be a very solid choice. I think the timing is right for him too, as one of my fears was that he would not be afforded any sort of time being ex-Spurs and the first sign of poor performance or a bad result could see fans turn very easily, but after the season we've had, I think there will be a much softer feeling around that too. If anything I think a lot of fans will be happy to embrace him now because he's such a big upgrade on Potter and Lampard. Let's get this squad trimmed this summer and see what he can do. He's going to have a full pre season, and an uninterrupted season without European football to really stamp his mark on this squad, build relations, time on the training pitch, etc. I do believe without European football and one or two key additions, top 4 should be very feasible next season and that should be the primary aim next year. But I'd also like to see a squad that is fit and plays with purpose and intensity on the front foot from the kick off, something I feel the club has lost and lacked probably for the last 18 months.
