Leno clearly not to Martinez’ standard. Good, but not good enough. A constant worry.

No Martinez sale no Partey
We have a billionaire owner. No Martinez sale, no Partey is just another excuse for Kroenke.
Just watch some highlights from earlier and... :doh:
Obviously there was the goal but he did the same thing two other times and we were fortunate to get away with it. I hate all this playing it out from the back. Invites pressure, means the smallest mistake and you concede a chance, maybe a goal. And Leno did it 3 times today in the second half alone.
Worrying.
Martinez was much more suited to playing out from the back
And i've said before we could have got at least £10m for Leno and i think the Kroenkes would have come through on Partey regardless
Arteta showed misguided loyalty and the club as a whole some real short-sightedness
On the other hand, if Martinez wanted out and wasn't prepared to keep fighting for that number one spot, maybe that's the flaw that prompted the sale.
We don't know what went on behind the scenes. We never do.
I wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult to displace Leno. So maybe other bullshit was happening.
There does seem to be a stench of favouritism at the club though.
Is Martinez dead now, btw? What kind of injury did he have? A leg amputation? Wasn't playing before he got injured, isn't playing now - so I guess the injury must be terminal?
