Derbados7 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I agree with many on here that Martin is one of our best players. But that's only when we build our team around him, making it difficult when he's injured or out of form, as we've seen over the last couple of years. I'd bring in a couple of quality forwards, but ones that don't need the whole team built around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine of his sixty-two goals for us have seen assists credited to our midfielders. He's created ten goals for our midfielders. Sort of shows that he's as good for our midfield as they are for him. Also disproves the theory the everything goes through Martin and the middle, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm just guessing here but I'm sure he would have had more goals if for the first 30 games the so called best midfield in the league was 10 yards closer to pull the defenders out of position. I'm also guessing they would have scored more also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Martin reminds me of Giroud from Arsenal. Both are solid players who will get you 15-20 goals a season but they aren't going to win you the league or in our case get promoted. I'd like to see an upgrade on Martin but we have other priorities to fulfil first like a proper cdm because we can't rely on Thorne and proper wingers rather than forwards playing as wingers.

Accepted bid(s) from at least one club. If he didn't turn down Bristol City he'd have left Palace then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have it both ways though. There are people here saying martins a crap goal scorer cos he didn't score 20 goals this season, he's a whopping 8th on the top scorers chart. Then there's others saying he's not a team player. He just wanders off in a strip when he's not playing well. Yet this season, he's either scored or created the third most goals. That's while him, and the team, haven't been paying their best for big chunks of the season. Rose tinted or not, you don't have to be a statistician to be able to see that if he's not scoring, he's creating (team player), and if he's not creating, he's scoring (goal scorer). What more could you ask for? I supose you could ask for him to be in the top 1. Or the best goal scorer AND goal creator in the league. But thats like saying 'I've got billion dollars, but you know what would be better, a billion and one dollars'. So Sayers the wise man. Theres no reason to believe Martin won't be there or thereabouts again next season. There are no particular signs of him slowing down. But **** him right. He's not scored 20 goals this season, time to cut him adrift and buy Luis Suarez instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
