If Martinez had signed for Liverpool, Sourness would have been full of praise. The guy talks out of his arse at times and is decades out of touch. I do even rate Sourness as a good player back in the day, just a clogger. Martinez is a proper player and could play CDM in my view if necessary.

Deserved as example
Refusing to train at Ajax because you want to join Everton. It's a funny old world.
He doesn't get any minutes, not a starter.
That Martinez quote if true is very disappointing. He is/was one of my favorite players.
Shame when players you look up to turn out to be humans you do not want to learn from. Watched the docu The Last Dance for the umpteenth time the other day and the way the players talk to the general manager because they do not get what they want is absolutely insane.
Meh.

I guess we have to say thanks to LVG if Martinez continues to be a success. He’s been great so far and looks like we needed him more than Timber. Martinez has brought some fighting spirit and energy which is rubbing off on others around him.
Well deserved
Your first mistake was looking up to a footballer.
Hopefully he gets a miniature trophy so it’s not too heavy for him
Agree, we needed Martinez more . Safe to say, we would have gone for Torres or any other left footed defenders.
Fair point. Bit of a bad habit as a result of being so invested in your footballclub. It would be so much easier just to see them as mercenaries which is what they are, but every now and then I still have moments of weaknesses.
Players going to strike and refusing to train is shit thing to do.
But it is in some way "nice" to see players doing that to join us. Rojo was the last who did that

Yeah I’m not a big fan of it even though we are the beneficiaries this time.
It could well happen to us if one day they want to leave for La Liga.
Leicester 0:1 Man Utd
Why didn't Leicester isolate him against a 6'5" centre forward?
He’s amazing. Absolutely love him already!
I was nervous about the cost of this transfer but he's been superb.
Licha's immense. I hope the pundits keep talking about his height.
I'm in love.
It seems that he's not being targeted anymore.
He’s just got something about him.
Solid but almost a quiet game for him with Varane so dominant. How he lost the flight of the ball for that last min chance was anxiety inducing.
Defended very well as he normally does but should do better with the ball.
Forget duels, headers and everything. This guy just reads the game so well, he senses the danger and takes up very good positions. He is a proper defender.
Little beast. The way he heads the ball is awesome.
Don't think he was as good as in the last two games.
Happy to see the fans starting to fall in love with him.. I had good confidence it would turn out this way..
Varane carried him tonight. He's clearly very good but it looks like he's still getting used to the pace of the league and isn't used to having so little time on the ball just yet.
Good performance. Needs to be more careful when cutting out crosses, another blunder today after the error that required De Gea to make a super save in the Liverpool match (I think). Much easier for him against a team with minimal aerial threat.

Since Maguire benched only 1 goal against in 3 games. Martinez is a beast
Not his best game, but still very solid. He’s quality and his CB partnership with Varane is the best we’ve had in a long time. I hope they stay fit because the drop is big after these two.
I think that's a huge overstatement tbh . No-one carried him he played very well it's just Varane was outstanding tonight
The Ajax fans on here said we were gonna love him, and boy were they right!
Quickly becoming my favorite player to watch. Not perfect in everything he does, but his passion and determination is top notch.
