He's not an ideal fit. He can only really play off a big guy or hold up guy. And he can only really play from the left coming inside. We've pretty much got that base covered with Son. And he doesn't create much for others.

If we spunk big bucks on him, (he will only be a back up/rotation for Son) we still need to go and buy a back up for Kane.

If we are going to spunk some serious dough, I'd much rather go after someone like Nkunku, who's XG + XA combined was also a very healthy 0.83, but who can also play in any three positions across the top, including down the middle, and who's game is more more multi faceted - and doesn't depend on others as much as Martinez's does. Who can also cover Kane as well as Son.

Even Rafa Leao would make more sense IMO. He can back up Son's remit (he can run at and past people from the left to inside and out, creates chances for others, but can also play as a 9).

Incorrect.

Martinez is Argentinas number 9 and he plays the position superbly without any big guy or hold up guy.

He’s scored 20 goals in 38 games for them (quicker to 20 goals than Messi and Maradona) and his link up play is also excellent in a front 3 with Messi and Di Maria.

He's pretty good for Argentina but not a 90m striker. He's very odd, scores bangers but screws up easy chances. Plenty of attacks ruined with a poor pass/touch/dribble but somehow manages to find a goal eventually.

Insane energy though.
