Reassess in January

The rules concerning loan deals changed last summer, making it very hard for clubs to recall players once they have been sent out.

If we suffer an injury or two in the striker department, Bilic will surely want Martinez back but this might be impossible.

We should keep the young Spaniard as a reserve choice up front for the first half of the season and then reassess the situation in January.

If it is right to send him out on loan to gain experience in January, then we can do that.
