Martinez does like an old school winger it seems. 1-2 of his signings were out of left field, as this would be, but he tends to get a lot from his players.
That said, Albrighton should be kept on. He's still one of our best creative players. It'll take 2-3 windows before we have enough depth in the squad to make a player like Alby obsolete. He might not be great but he's definitely worth keeping on.
