DEL Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Ipswich turned down a £4.5m bid for 32 year old Daryl Murphy from Middlesbrough today. If he's worth anything like that, Martin has to be double surely? £900m for Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Think of HITC as a distributor, not a manufacturer and you will be a lot better off. We have around three or four people, Bailey being one, that obviously write their own stuff using the website as a platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 With the money that's being thrown about the past few years would be severely disappointed if we accepted anything less that 12-15 mil...main not for one second saying he is actually worth that but with what players are going for and what it would cost to get a decent replacement thats the minimum we could accept.Martin if he stays will be a key player next season, that being said... Every player does have his price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It would have to be £10m for me. He's not only a proven goalscorer, but our most creative in the final third. He'd be a huge loss, not one I imagine Clement or the club would want to take lightly.Ninos would be happy, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So Nixon said we had a big bid for a player and rejected it. From our squad a big bid would only likely be for Hendrick, Hughes or Martin.Nixon also said he would revisit the story if the club dont get their main target.Maybe it was Newcastle who bid in case they miss out on their main target - Charlie AustinJust a thought!

wixman1884 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I don't even want to think about losing Martin. My favourite player we've had in about a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Got to agree wixman, I think there's a bit of Sherringham about him, if he's up for it I always think we can win this, hope all this turns out to be a load of old pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Agreed, he has amazing awareness and vision, can flick a ball on to oncoming midfielders like the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Great player,one we should build the team around,can score goals,hold the ball up,win free kicks when under pressure,really really hard to replace , a player like Martin could be the difference between promotion and just missing out.How much is promotion worth a lot more than ten million,really hope he is still with us come the start of the season,I believe Martin is staying,to fire us to the premier league.

cloughandtaylor Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Cannot see us letting him go, before another player comes in, unless its for a few quid. Yes we have DB, but when he is out, we have no replacement. I reckon £8 - £ 10 million and we would sell.......I am not to sure he is a prem player? He struggled in both Chelsea games and for Scotland against England last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggled in both Chelsea games and for Scotland against England last season.Jake Buxton made Ulloa look absolutely garbage in the three matches he played against us and he's done okay. I don't think judging Martin on three games, all against Cahill, should be a barometer of his ability to play in the Premier League. Martin's technical ability is superior to every other forward in this division. He lacks speed, and he doesn't move about a lot, but when he drop the ball anywhere near him, he does something with it. I like technically gifted footballers, that's why I would struggle to accept any other Championship player over him. Swapping him for someone like Chris Wood or Dayrl Murphy would send me over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Agree - I was amazed how good Ulloa looked in the Prem after he was owned every time he played us and threw his toys out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 In my eyes anything less than £20mil and any potential suitors can jog on. He is worth that much and more to this team based on what we will lose without him. Hes still only 26 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggled in both Chelsea games and for Scotland against England last season.Most strikers playing for Premiership sides against the Chelsea defence have struggled so does that mean they're not of Premiership standard? Of course it doesn't! Martin is not your conventional striker -his role includes playing as a link and hold-up forward and comparisons with Teddy Sherringham are not far off the mark in respect of their styles. Try as i can, I'm unable to think of someone who could replace him at a price we are likely to be able to afford. Losing him would mean a change in how we play but maybe that's something Clements might be prepared to consider - who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
