Which players should be sent out come summer? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Fake Melo
- Start date
For me, everybody there can leave. This mercato will demonstrate whether GM is actually able to clear out legitimate 'dead wood'.
I would also be inclined to give Martinez a second chance, considering, as a matter of principle, I generally think it's REALLY unwise to sell a player after one season (at a loss, after a significant expenditure) - especially given his issues with injuries, team disfunction, and the fact that it's possible we'll have a new coach/system next year. If we were going to be consistently playing a 4-3-3, he might be able to provide some useful squad depth.
Of course, if we were to get an offer for Jorge close to what we paid for him, I'd sell him in a second. But that's not going to happen.

Jorge Martinez - TBH I expected a lot of him when he came, but obviously not his fault that he is playing out of position 9/10 times, I am not even sure if he has featured 10 times this season 
Many (Andy) may wonder why I didn't include Simone Pepe in this list, but he needs to stay as we can not afford to buy another backup. He can pretty much play on both wings and if we get a starting LW maybe we could send a youngster to Udinese to bring his price "down".

That's like saying well, I better buy this 700 Euro HDTV because I can't afford to buy another HDTV.
And who in their right mind would buy Martinez off us now? It's foolish to even suggest that. Martinez is going to stay and be a backup -- a pricey backup.

Regarding Pepe, a backup position for LW should be our last concern this summer.
