Bit early to write off Martínez, I'm hoping he can prove a few people wrong.
And yeah, January is prioritising defense. I'm also worried about the attack in some respects, our centre forwards don't fill me with confidence. If an opportunity arises to get a great player for a good sum (Cassano or Benzema, for example) then see it through.
Yes..sometimes different environment can make difference like Forlan (MU) , Henry (Juve) or Vieira (Milan) examples. You seem watch a lot of South American/Brazilian football, Salvatore? I remember Lucas was once the best player in Brazillian League, right? But based on his performance in Pool, i definitely don't want him
Lucas WAS the best player in Brazil at the time. Absolutely dominant, there were a few other top teams in the hunt for him as well. And contrary to popular belief, I think he's is quite solid for Liverpool at the moment.
