Ambitious Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 http://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?topic=56072.15 It's pretty damning stuff. I do like the comment that he isn't used to playing the lone striker role, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 58 minutes ago, Ninos said: It's not confidence. He's always had glaring misses. But his two for Fulham of late (last game and this game) were ultra glaring. Not an accident that he was yanked early by them v qpr in the same way he was yanked by us at burton. Reality is that he needs hundreds of chances to bury just one and he won't have that sort of service unless he has a premier league calibre midfield behind him. He's always been inefficient. Now he's just toast. Must try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Clearly, the left foot doesn't know what the right is doing. Has he been tested for myxomatosis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Martin's a top player, if other teams can't get him playing well or see his value, thats their problem, because we definitely can. Get him back in January, get his confidence back up and he'll be top class for us again. Gives us the out ball that we've been screaming out for when we're playing at home. Vydra Ince Martin Anya Hughes Thorne Lowe Shackell Keogh Christie Carson Thats where I hope this season goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a lot. I'll take pleasure when we can extract a decent transfer fee for him. Sadly if he plays football or tries to, his value will drop like brick, as it's doing. Unless that is , he's stuck in front of a fantastic, creative midfield and then he will be okay. As has been said, it was foolish not to take Wolves offer if there really was an offer. Having him back would be lunacy. But it's prob over for him at Fulham : it appears they've given up on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've scored 5 goals in 11 games and bringing back a striker who's scored 60 goals in the last 3 seasons for Derby would be lunacy? Interesting that you think that.

What's this all about? The fella has been consistently prolific for us, bar this recent spell where there is no one in the side pulling up any trees and hasn't been for a while. If his best days are behind him then that's a management decision, but you come across as unnecessarily negative towards a player who has been an integral part of our recent successful periods. And he didn't cost a dime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you should play to his strengths he scores shedloads of goals and provides lots too - why would we want that! Strikers suffer losses of confidence, see how long it was before Vydra scored, but it's Martin that gets to be the **** one! I hope he returns if possible in January and we again play to his strengths. Or we could continue to give Blackman a go! We won't be building a team around vydra like we did for Martin, the whole team was focused so much around him that when he was injured we could no longer play our game, which was to the detriment of the team in the long term- and we're still feeling the effects now of only being able to play one way. I too hope he returns in January to play alongside vydra, but no longer to be our focal point as he simply isn't that good anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a reported 8.5 million on him. You're being hyperbolic to a hideous extent to back your own opinion, value of players isn't based entirely on the last 6 months, particularly when 3 of those months weren't spent playing competitive football.

Get a grip. You will find a certain Vydra has actually found the net since settling into the side and certainly does more on the pitch when playing than Martin has done this season.

Ask a Fulham fan if they are happy with Martin..................over rated but at least over there.......... You've missed the point, we bought Vydra for a lot of money after a crap spell because he has a good record. Martin has a good record but is having a crap spell...he's still worth a lot of money! He's easily worth the most money out of any player we own, excluding Hughes (who's an anomaly), hence Fulham reportedly paying a few million just to bring him on LOAN let alone buy him. You're letting your personal opinion get in the way of all the evidence and logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddy Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Well he has not scored a goal all season, has not since April 5th last season. He is worth what somebody wants to pay, as I said earlier if in doubt ask them if he is a good buy? If he is also a bad influence in the dressing room, would you want he back away?
