to be fair, I think that's partly down to the fact Martinez is terrible defensively.

Hasn't Stones gone completely off the boil?
Not seen Everton recently but not hearing much about him
He makes a lot of silly decisions and gives the ball away needlessly, his head clearly isn't right after the summer.
To be fair though as Mike says Martinez and defences.. they leak goals to say the least and at least all those things I mentioned like him being careless in possession/doesn't seem mentally right can be fixed fairly quickly under the right manager. He has been caught out positionally a fair few times as well, which I guess is part of the package in a Martinez defence.
Not the finished package by any means. But hard to really judge him under Martinez.

For Zzeezzy from Football 365
Harry Kane
The list of players to score 20 or more goals in consecutive seasons now reads as follows: Alan Shearer, Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Carlos Tevez, Robin van Persie, Luis Suarez and Harry Kane. Kane is the first new English entrant on the list since 1996.
The suspicion that Kane would be a one-season wonder was not one of malice, merely a disbelief that a player could sprint so quickly from a standing start. Kane didn’t score his first Premier League goal until April 2014. Since scoring his first, Kane has managed 44 more in 70. It’s an astonishing record for a 22-year-old.
Should Kane reach 50 goals by the end of the season, hardly an unthinkable achievement, he will have reached the landmark in 86 matches (including his few PL games on loan at Norwich). A selection, by way of comparison:
Alan Shearer – 66 (matches to reach 50 Premier League goals)
Thierry Henry – 83
Luis Suarez – 86
Robbie Fowler – 88
Michael Owen – 98
Carlos Tevez – 126
Robbie Keane – 128
Robin van Persie – 142
Wayne Rooney – 146
Gabriel Agbonlahor – 184
Id say he's well worth 50m after reading this ...

This list I kind of like. To tempt most of these, you'll invariably need to be in the Champions League.
If you're in the Champions League, the delusional Dutchman is still here.
See, I knew you'd come around to wanting to keep him zz! Good man!
.I can live with this!!!
Would still be in Europa league as it stands, so could still tempt 4 from my 5, maybe not Aubamenyang. On the other hand, people are going to look at this season as a freak one with Leicester winning.

With Woodward, I'm not 100% convinced you could finish outside the top 4 and still bin him until it actually happens. Regardless of the multitude of rumours to the contrary.
Nothing is certain in football. But Woodward covets trophy playes and managers. And Jose is right up there, he would take sacking LVG for gaining Jose (and the calibre of players that come with it).

.I don't even know why would you buy a striker at this point. Rooney/Rashford/Martial will have it covered. A mobile RW who can also play on the left is a top priority I think.
Load of Carrick and Fellaini, get Laporte so Blind can move to CB and rotate with Bastian, add another CM as backup for Schneiderlin, and it should be set.

Getting a major CF suggests Rooney is done.
