Whilst I agree with you in that Martinelli will have his time and he needs to learn from our 2 very highly paid strikers I think he has shown he is ready, he has a level of talent we haven’t seen since JW or Cesc. Something that imo our other youngsters dont have. They can become good players and is in no way a dig at them.Martinelli isn’t ready.
I like that he is being protected from the fans, they will only chat sh*t when he inevitably shows inconsistencies being a kid.
I’ve lost count the amount of slight built talented kids careers we’ve ruined cause we’ve forced them in the league early in a team full of losers only to get kicked by grown men in opposition teams. Some of you don’t learn, the above scenario is not a great education.
We have two top class well paid grown arse strikers, let them set an example. Martilleni will have his time.
Martinelli looks a class above, dont think he would struggle. We have to find the right balance between protecting him and playing him to develop in the best way (which I think we are).
