However I think Martinez will have a eye on Europe League, which is winnable.
We are stronger already right now for sure. Pienaar, Gibson and Kone healthy. Young stars are one year more experienced, while players like Garbutt and McAleny are coming through. And we are still in for another 3 or 4 new quality players. Martinez will have an eye on all competitions we will are in. I have no worries we will be at least in a fight for European football for the next season.
I agree. I am really liking the team Everton got this season. Lukaku is an absolute beast and with few great upcoming talents, this can only be a good season for "us" (yes, I am blues fan).

United are in a deep trouble and they will be lucky if they will be back in Champions League for 2015/16. They are playing 3 at the back while having three, mostly injury prone, centre backs in the team, having really poor central midfield, a fat left back, not really top quality right back, about one million attacking midfielders when only Mata plays in their formation... and one big overrated manager, Van Persie and Rooney are not enough to make them a great team.
I mean, seriously? I agree that Jones and Evans are injury prone but thats about it of what i agree on. We will get atleast another centre back. Poor central midfield? Ander Herrera will be amazing and we still have Carrick who was one of the best midfielders in the league just 14 months ago. "fat left back"? wtf are u on? crack? Ur hate for United clearly shines through in your post.
It's also well documented that we are not done spending this summer, we will add atleast another midfielder and another defender.
Arsenal won their Emirates Cup game today 5-1 against Benfica after Monaco drew 2-2 with Valencia.
Sanogo scored 4 and Campbell scored 1.
Chambers played the whole match at Right CB and Sanchez played 17 minutes in the second half. Debuchy didn't have a chance today.
Why do I have the feeling this guy will be one of the biggest steals of this summer transfer season? Kinda biased opinion (He's Bosnian and I'm Blues fan, so of course) , but knowing what he did in WC (mainly in Argentina match) and seeing this video, this guys has everything to become top, world-class player. He's not a "good" boy, but he's not a Balloteli/Ibrahimovic either. He has some mad skills, is a bit cocky (in football vocabulary - knows to take the pressure on himself when it's needed and stuff like that), but definitely knows where's the border of "enough". Normally, these type of players becomes the best. I wish so!
Why do I have feeling that you are constantly posting videos of player related to Balkanian region or Barca and then subsequently asking why you have feeling that they will become good?
