Big new arrival at The Anchor

Usually I’d wait until the end of the season to build upon the squad, but this hasn’t been a usual season. For once, I’m still involved in numerous cup competitions while I’m still fighting to the league, and I felt I really needed to add some quality for the final push. I therefore splashed out a cool £750,000 on Jorge Martinez:



In a way, this signing is a direct replacement for Julio Baptista – my side has most definitely missed his aerial presence, both at set pieces and in general play. Moreover, since the departure of The Beast, I’ve lacked a penalty taker, which has threatened to cause me no end of troubles. Martinez is brilliant in the air, is a great finisher and passer of the ball, has good preferred moves and has a bit of pace, to boot. Moreover, he’s a decent set piece taker and will be taking over responsibilities for free kicks and penalties from now until the end of the season. His ability to play upfront as a striker also offers a fantastic Plan B. My only problem now is trying to fit all these players into a team together. One thing is definitely for sure; my side can cope with a few injuries now in the run in, as I’ve got two world class players sitting on the bench!
