Cup of Cuco

  1. I think he's a tremendous acquisition and have high hopes for him.

  2. He's probably a bit rubbish, but in all honesty it's too early to say that for sure.

  4. Cuco Martina is the worst signing since Osvaldo and the black box should be burnt.

    Could you give me another positive option.? I don't think he's a tremendous acquisition and I have high hopes for him. I think he's a good option and from what I've seen, no duffer.

    I'm certainly more positive about him than say... Caulker, at the moment. Is that just obvious, shocking, or too positive.? :)

    Not really seen too much of him to judge .... Which says a lot as he'd get more game time if he was good enough for the first team. Perhaps he does need more time but I don't imagine he'll ever be a game changer. It could be a case that there are simply better options than him, and that he's actually quite good, just not better than we already had.

    I have no idea, but Koeman obviously thinks he doesn't warrant a place in the team. Won't berate the lad though because not his fault if we brought in someone not quite good enough (unless he's a fall over drunk who won't train).

    He was only a stop gap signing to be back up and with Europe in mind I'm sure (<doh>)

    The fact he only signed a 2(?) year contract confirms to me he is back up while we wait for an academy player to be ready.

    Not seen a great deal from him, but what I did see did not fill me with confidence. Passing was suspect as was decision making.....don't think this will be one of our success stories as he fades into the distance.

    I think it was 1 year.
    I posed a similar question, about him being a stop gap, a few months back and Beefy said that was the reason.
    I think we are waiting for Mugabi to come good.

    I got all interested in the title of this thread, and then I realised it was referring to Cuco, not Cuoco.

    I think he is seen as back up; short term deal as our youth develops. He was probably purchased with the UEFA Cup in mind.

    Our youth players can't be worse, surely!? Every time I have seen martina play (which is admittedly not a lot) he has looked like a complete fish out of water. Would probably rather play JWP at right back again before playing him if I'm honest!
