Part of his problem is the expectations on him due to our PSR position.

Have a look at a list of summer signings of similar value. A fair proportion completely sail under the radar because £30m isn’t a massive amount of money nowadays.

Leoni to Liverpool anyone? Aldli to Bournemouth? Veiga to Chelsea?

Agreed. He was our most expensive signing but, in the grand scheme of things, he cost buttons.

In terms of how much top players cost these days, it was buttons. How much Gyokeres?

Good for him, got his money and is now coming back to proper football. Can't blame him for that.

I'm sure most people would joing me in assuming he's finished. But our manager isn't most people.

I think in every Emery squad there's a spot for a "well, if you could harness it right then there might just be something there that could work for a season and there's a 15% chance it could be brilliant" player.

But we already have Sancho for that role.

We wont get rid of Guessand unless it is silly money as, under PSR we will crystallise a loss in the books as he is only 6 months in to his contract. Any sales we do need to be for players who are either super high wages and/or fully amortised. I'd say Martinez hits the first criteria.
