mice_elf got a reaction from RoyMac5 in Chris Martin
Chris Martin has done nothing above Tier 2 in the League - 5 Premier League appearances
yielded no goals and no assists :-
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chris-martin/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/46154
To be fair, he did score 3 goals at International level for Scotland, but then so did
ex-Ram Ikechi Anya, so perhaps not too much to brag about.
If we go back just 5 years, we've had Darren Bent, David Nugent and Matej Vydra on the Books.
They've all had decent careers at Premier League Level :-

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-nugent/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/33963
https://www.transfermarkt.com/matej-vydra/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/101500
Just to pick some salient data from those Transfermarkt Stats :-
Chris Martin - 456 Championship appearances have yielded 114 Goals.
Darren Bent - 277 Premier League appearances yielded 106 Goals.
Do you really believe Chris Martin is/was a better Striker than Darren Bent?
Stretch back 10 Years, and you bring Patrick Bamford into play :-

OK he was only on Loan, but he did get us 8 Goals and 4 assists from 23 Games, and he wasn't
playing as an out and out striker. Like Bent/Nuge/Vyds, Bamford has performed well in the Top Tier.
His first Season with the Dirties in the Premier League yielded 17 Goals and 8 assists from 38 Appearances.
There is no way Chris Martin would have/could have matched those Stats in the Top Tier.
If we delve back further into your 20 to 30 Year Time Frame, players like Strupar/Wanchope/Ravanelli/Baiano
have played for us. Again these are Strikers who have performed with distinction in the Top Tiers. Wanchope
scored 44 International goals for Costa Rica in 77 Games.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/fabrizio-ravanelli/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/4226
https://www.transfermarkt.com/francesco-baiano/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/107802
I'm sure I've missed some more decent Strikers in your Timeframe but it's late and I'm
off to bed - Gabbi, Kitson maybe?

mice_elf got a reaction from Carnero in Summer Transfer Suggestion Thread 2023
Surely that must be the Peterborough retained list from last year.
The first name on there that caught my eye was Jack Marriott as a retained
player, but he joined Fleetwood Town on a permanent deal in January 2023 -
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-marriott/profil/spieler/268746
On the available for Transfer list is Mark Beevers but he joined Perth Glory
on a permanent deal in July 2022 -
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mark-beevers/profil/spieler/46744
Also on the available for Transfer list is Ryan Broom, but he joined Cheltenham Town
on a permanent deal in September 2022 -
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-broom/profil/spieler/380029
On the Released list is Dai Cornell, but he joined Preston on a permanent deal
in July 2022 -
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-cornell/profil/spieler/89648
Those were 4 names on the list that I was sure were a bit iffy for a current 2023 List,
but I can't be bothered to check all the names on there.

They did get their best ever Player from Guernsey, which is near enough Due South of So'ton, so that gives 'em a 360 degree reach by my reckoning..........................................................................................................................................................Matt Le Tissier

mice_elf got a reaction from Ghost of Clough in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.
Transfermarkt don't have us down for a Transfer LOSS of £8.11m for 2017/18 but a PROFIT of £8.11m -
that's why GoC put us down as +£8.11m for 2017/18 :-

mice_elf reacted to Ambitious in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
After listening to the snippet on radio Derby, I found myself getting annoyed at just how pathetic Mel Morris is.
The comment about wanting out for two years, and having to still pay the bills… YOU BOUGHT THE ducking CLUB!
I used this analogy a while ago. Mel Morris Has effectively bought a dog, without thinking about the consequences, now he’s trying his best to get rid and he’s not arsed who too. He may throw it the daily bit of food it needs to survive, but he has no other interest in it and the poor ducker can forget about treats or a new toy every once in a while. People are coming to look at the dog, in order to buy, but it stinks of piss and looks jaded from the neglect. You attract more flies with honey than you do vinegar.
As someone who had a lot of respect for him, I just fine him intolerable at the moment. Everything he’s doing is just working against the best interests of the club - almost actively seeking to work against the best interests of the club.
