Walsall_Ram Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Has Chris Martin outstayed his stay at Derby? Trying to think of more strikers we've had at the club who have played the same/similar role that Martin has given us since 2013 and the only 2 of recent times are Steve Howard and Rob Hulse. Both lasted 2 years at the club. Howard from 2006 to 2008 and Hulse from 2008 to 2010. Now, don't get me wrong I love Martin as much as everyone else, but do players normally have a "sell by date" so to speak? His Ikea wardrobe antics are far too old now. His constant chewing of gum.... Why does he even have the gum? Isn't it a choking hazard? Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21419-ive-had-a-think/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite Rob Hulse being a pretty decent striker for us there was still this itchy feet reaction from our fans everytime he had a rough patch. The same old "Lazy" tag our very own CM is having branded too, seems like one big circle thinking about it! Here's to another Robinson/Tyson partnership in a couple years time. Let's sack these decent forwards off! Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21419-ive-had-a-think/#findComment-940664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've had a think, and I think a few Derby "fans" have outstayed their welcome. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21419-ive-had-a-think/#findComment-940666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiddingsRam Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Another over reaction thread ! A player has a couple of "off" games and this happens !!!! I don't get it he's a top centre forward and we're lucky to have him , we need to appreciate what we've got !

robglosta Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Fans get bored and need a bit of controversy or unecesary change. Slating Martin and wanting him shifted on fills that void for those that need it.

ollycutts1982 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Let's try and dismiss the post content and try and complete the title. I've had a think.. - and I know nothing about football. - and realised it doesn't suit me. Anyone else got any ideas?

Chris Mills Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Walsall_Ram getting on early with his "most ridiculous thread of 2016" contender. I'd probably have waited a few months, people may have forgotten it by the end of the year.

Mostyn6 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I only hope Chris Martin didn't listen to Uncle Mel mentioning this forum and start reading it!

Sexydadbod Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Whilst this thread may seem silly on face value, there is some substance to it. Our board wouldn't be doing there jobs properly if they weren't already assessing when to sell a player for maximum income. This doesnt just apply to martin but all of our players. Look at real madrid, there are lots of rumours going around that they are going to sell ronaldo in the summer to psg, because looking at stats and the sports analysis side of the game, they can see that his performances are decreasing as such.

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Chris is well on his way to legend status for us. The timing of such a discussion makes no sense. Maybe the time for contemplation would be when plotting our next prem campaign.

tomsdubs Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 He's had very little service lately, he's the type of player that can look poor when the team aren't doing the right things. No runners beyond, no anticipation of the second ball and no good pull backs for him. I think the attacking players coming in will make a difference.
