Josep Martinez

[Stefan]

You've watched a lot of Bento (and Martinez) to make this assessment?

I have all Genoa games this season and enough Bento games to know who is the better one. Also seen all Monza games the last 2 seasons. So I am confident in my opinion regarding Martinez, Bento & Di Gregorio.

Its of course always possible for him to surprise me.

 

[ADRossi]

Not understanding all the hate and negative comments about this guy. Sommer was also a ''bad'' signing at the time. If any team knows keeper talents, it's us.

This is revisionist history. If you check the Sommer transfer thread hardly anyone complained about him. Everyone was just sad to see Onana go.

 

[Stefan]

You never know. Martinez may become very good goalie. When you guys say average, what do you mean by that? What are his weaknesses and strengths?

Being a la masia product he is very good with the ball at his feet. He is average to poor on crosses and decent but not great on shot stopping.

 

[Stefan]

At this point, I'll just blindly believe in the fact that Inter never go wrong with goalkeepers.

Almost never, there was the miss with Frey. But I prefer not to remember that.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

Ehh, realistically our scouts will have watched him play more than any of us have so no one should be too hasty to judge unless they’ve seen enough to make an informed opinion.

I recall the days where was a weird rumor that Arsenal may pay 20mln for Satriano, and how many people didn't want to sell him, as he "could" develop into a decent starter.

I wouldn’t part ways with Zanotti. Only if there’s the intention to buy him back and let Genoa develop him.

Biasin says Martinez is coming to be 1st keeper from 25/26 season on. He also thinks Bento will move for much higher sum.

 

[RotterdamNerazzurri]

Thinking about it, Josep Martinez makes sense. Given his price and probably willingness to be second goalkeeper the upcoming season.

Di Gregorio was more expensive, not good with his feet and is going to be the first goalkeeper of Jube.

Bento was most probably our first choice. But given the fact his price will be much higher than 20 mln, and the fact we still have Sommer, such an investment didn’t make sense.

Than there is Martinez. His style fits in and he had a respectable (not impressive in any way) debut season at Serie A level. His price is quite low, he’s willing to sit on the bench coming season and he can showcase his abilities on the trainingground an possibly the Copa. If he doesn’t impress much we can either sell him or use him as a back-up. And look for a first goalkeeper next summer. Quite a low-risk investment (if the price is indeed as low as reported).

J. Martinez is not as bad as people make of him, but Bento just shows signs of a generational talent, still there is not guarantee at the end of the day.

I watched Genoa's games but never paid attention to their keeper, mainly scouting Retegui.

Still there are things to appreciate J. Martinez

The way I see all the rumors GK:

Maduka Okoye - gives off Dida vibe, has the potential to be a top GK if he gets his basics right, but right now, you will see him saving some impossible and fucked up some basics.

J. Martinez - reminds me a bit of Handa, but obviously not to his prime level, has the reflexes, but keen on doing some anticipation, also I like how he moves, dives, very textbook like.

Bento - reminds me of Allison's talent.

Di Gregorio - a very solid GK that knows how to maximize the use of his defending players and very good basics, but exceptional plays are rarer compare to the others.

Even I do feel sad missing out on Bento, but buying players from Brazil is like a lottery ticket.

Martinez spent 2 years in La Masia so he should be pretty decent with his feet you would think.

Can we stop this "not good with his feet" bullshit? I'd rather have a proper goalie who can stop shots. We have fucking Pavard and Bastoni who can make those passes. Same shit was said about Sommer and we were just fine with him.

It matters in modern football. You don’t have to be the best passer on the field but you don’t want a lead-footed 80’s style goalkeeper out there either. Especially if your a team who wants to be capable of building out from the back. It also helps mitigate a press if you have a goalkeeper who’s comfortable on the ball and distributing. Not the most important thing but it shouldn’t be overlooked either.

Right, but how many times do you see keepers dismissed here due to the fact that he is not "good with his feet"? We have Pavard and Bastoni in the back, we are fine with building from the back. Keeper should be first and foremost a great shot stopper, being good with his feet is just a cherry on top.

There's a difference between shit people here said and what the management actually saw.

Inzaghi specifically said that we needed GK that's good on the ball during our GK search last year (implying Sommer was good at it).

The way we play it’s nothing less than crucial for a goalkeeper to be good passing the ball and be comfortable with the ball at his feet. It’s not only about the build up, as you state we also have our centrebacks for that.

It’s more about luring the opponents to our side, lett them press us. Creating great amounts of space for ourself. Our GK must be resistent to those pressure and be able to deliver semi long balls to our wingbacks and midfielders. If we have a gk whose not capable with the ball we will lose possession a lot of times, or even worse.

Agree with this.

Anyway, we may also be aiming for a capital gain from the transfer transaction.
However, the investment figure may not be as low as it appears.

Romano stated that the price is 10m plus one player. It would most likely be Satriano, the most expensive option on the list.
According to transfermrkt, his market value is at 7m.

So Josep Martinez's total transfer fee would be 17m.
We would receive approximately 6.2m in capital gains from the Satriano deal went the other way.
The contract would be in the range of 2m per year for 4 years, which is quite high for a backup role, but let us assume the maximum.

Thus, Josep Martinez would cost us 8m annually. Compared to this season's backup GK role, Audero only costs us 1.5m annually.
So a substantial increase considering we are trying to reduce it.
