Ambitious Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sammon is twice, no.. three times the player that Martin is IMO. People may ring Sammons neck out to dry, but when I see Martin.. I think it could be worse, could be much worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 he is different to Sammon, in the fact that given the chance to score with his feet i'd fancy him, Sammon not so. the problem is getting into those positions as his lack of pace doesn't allow him to make easy space. ...and that's his job. I am a true supporter and hope like hell each new player we sign does the business. In the first couple of games I gave him the benefit of the doubt over his general sharpness. I just don't see it's improved and he needs to be sharp because he lacks the aerial power, strength and guile to get goals any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Chris Martin looks good back to goal recieving a ball and holding it up. Not much goal threat that I can see, and slow. Sammon and him will never make a partnership to terrify anyone. On balance, I going off the idea of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Are we that hard up that we feel compelled to sign the first striker that we have on trial, surely Clough has other potential opportunities to progress, if not why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 We rely on goals coming from midfielders and defenders too often. Martin is not the answer, not even close. Ball over Martin any day. So let's not bother with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 No. Said it before and i'll say it again. We can and need to better than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Aye,in an ideal world where he is fit and has a good preseason behind him, I'd see him getting around 10-13 goals a season, and as on BBC it says Theo has 9 and hasn't played half of the season's games, it looks like we would be going backwards with this signing.

DesertRam Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's not fantastic, he's alright, would be a decent addition to the squad as he has scored 3 in 8 (2 wrongly ruled out) but if there was a chance to bring in a natural goal scorer instead, that would be preferable I think even if they were from lower league I think we might get Martin and another striker as well, hopefully a 20 goals a season Barker type signing!!

ShermanCardenas Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 ...and that's his job. I am a true supporter and hope like hell each new player we sign does the business.

I just don't see it's improved and he needs to be sharp because he lacks the aerial power, strength and guile to get goals any other way. I liked martin to begin with, purely down to his ability to control a ball and footballing brain. Now i'm not too sure. It's hard to judge a striker who is playing in an out of form side, however good strikers normally do well if they are provided with the service and i think that he has been provided with enough service to make a bigger impact than he has.

Shuff264 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think Martin has cracking natural ability, but he comes across as either lazy or unfit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 agree, and the polar opposite to Sammon. In that they have opposite attitudes to hard work and opposite ability to control a ball, yes, but neither of them look like hitting the onion bag.

Considering he's coming from a prem club thats perfectly reasonable. in fact, why the hell am i even responding to this. i like cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
