Looks like the papers have started the panic about who we are buying Cleverly, Evans, Taylor to name just a few. Gents its just paper talk I would be very surprised if we get any of them. Even if we do what's the point in worrying don't forget no matter who we have they will play the RM way so personnel is irrelevant.

Playing the Martinez way is spot on. I love this Club and fear that RM's unfounded belief in his messiah like qualities as a coach mean we are doomed to remain in the bottom half (if not fighting relegation season on season the Wigan way) come what may. I do so hope I am wrong and stand readily to eat my words.

Cleverly looks like it's going to happen. Now football is about opinions, which is a relief judging by some of the posts I've just been reading about this guy.
I don't care if he didn't make it at United. I don't care if people think he'll send us down. I doubt very much if many of us have seen him regularly over 90 mins. Because I've only seen highlights in which even a class Benteke looked poo. But when the manager changed, hey presto Cleverly did too. When that team was looking relegation in the face he popped up with some impressive performances, scoring goals that kept them up rather than send them down.
I was one that criticised the Gibbo signing which I regret as much as I bemoan his wretched injuries. Because he is class. Most of us changed our tune the minute he scored the winner against City.
Egg on my face then. Won't make that mistake twice.
So I'm giving him a chance. After all I remember the day when HK was berated for signing the Legend that is Peter Reid.

''HK was berated for signing the Legend that is Peter Reid.''
Toffee ace , If Cleverley turns out to be a Reid like revelation,
well I for one will be pleasantly surprised!
Here's the thing though Reid had mojo and spread it about the dressing room.
Cleverly, mojo? Hmmmm .

Read the post again Blue' I'm saying that I'm not going to pass judgement on the signings in case I suffer from egg on my face. Like I've done in the past. The post is about prejudging rather than comparing.

Toffee all I'm saying is don't worry about having egg on your face :)
The probability is somewhat low ;)

I think toffee most on here just like a good moan and everyone is now so wrapped up in this hate Martinez campaign rather than just give a few games into next season and see if things get better pretty sad really if only some of the posters on here managed the club we would win the league every year :)

and those who think he's the second coming?
Football masterminds one and all ;)
