Arsenal - Would take Martinelli for Diaz he is a better finisher and I rate him highly
Man City - Foden to replace Salah if he was to leave, and even though his gob annoys the crap out of me
Aston Villa - Martinelli again as back up keeper if Kelleher was to leave, he is a solid keeper
Spurs - Son = Simply their best player.
{Ed025's Note - i dont want to sound like the spelling police but Villa,s keeper is Martinez hughesy, Martinelli would get chipped every game mate.. :)

Martínez is not moving to another club to be backup. If anything, I see him leaving Villa in the summer for a more “glamorous” club.
Foden is simply class. What a talent!
{Ed025's Note - hes a horrible little fink for me Alonso, but very talented..

Alonso
Foden? Curtis Jones is better ????.
{Ed025's Note - say no to drugs..

Martinelli has less goals than Diaz this season.
I think both players are very good and I’d say looking at their numbers both could be better finishers.

Just don’t like Foden…. he is too Manc.
It would be like having someone from Oasis play with the Beatles…. They might know how to play but it just wouldn’t be right.

@Ed25 - Bernardo Silva is WAY worse than Foden. Silva is a fantastic footballer but I cannot stand the guy. Singing on the bus. Not giving us the guard of honour. And many other examples of his despicable behaviour as a human being. It’s like he is obsessed with us, which is strange considering how successful City have been.
@Irish Rover - Jones is one of ours but Foden is… I’ll let you fill out the rest ?.
{Ed025's Note - im not a fan of Bernardo either Alonso, great player but an absolute tosser of a person mate, mind you there are quite a few of them knocking about..

Bernardo's clearly been eyeing the City exit for a while now but the football financial landscape has become so skewed now that only a couple of clubs outside England could afford him unless he was to go to Saudi.

Foden is overrated no doubt doesn’t show in big games. He was shocking for England. Good player but not going to be remembered as one of the best that’s for sure.

Silva is an absolute wind up merchant. Plenty of them about and lots of rival fans think Similar of Robbo.
I’d categorise Suarez and El Hadj Diouf etc as showing despicable behaviour over someone drinking a cup of tea during a guess of honour.

Nah, OP. Martinelli is not comparable at all to Diaz's in terms of sheer ability as a true winger/ wideman. IMO, Diaz is a true 1 v 1 demon who can rip near any FB inside or outside dress him down, stand him up, get past him, cut inside him, the absolute lot. He can attack a low block and as well, get in behind with true pace and trickery. His finishing and decision making in the final third is what he needs to work on, IMO. That's it.
Martinelli for me, is a good player BUT too much of a one to two trick pony at best who can't function vs a true low block (Arsenal fans say this all the time, btw) without acres of space to run into or in behind. Without that, he is has near NO effect on the game (see how Bradley shut him down easily in his debut game in the FA Cup. Oh, and Martinelli is nowhere near the 1 v 1 dribbler Diaz is. Just my take.

“Fink” - great word Ed. My old man RIP used to call me it as a kid.
{Ed025's Note - it was used a lot when i was a kid Ron.. :)
