Garry Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Way to much money for him 3 goals in 31games for reading last year Watford seen us coming or are they buying Chris martin and bent of us for 20 million. We needed a cm and a rb a leader in the middle of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew James Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 CM we have Thorne, Hendrick, Hughes, Butterfield how many more do we need.. Thorne hopefully will come back fit,maybe a break quick player which Hendrick can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew James Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 A Drinkwater type player. I think Hendrick can do that role and he rarely gives the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowram Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 A total waste of money. Vydra was very good 3 years ago but has lost his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't kicked a ****** ball for us yet and ya calling him a waste of money!!! Tell me how was Martin doing when we signed him? And don't talk about how much they cost us, money has nothing to do with fans, I couldn't give 2 cows t1ts if we paid 30mill for martin or got him on a free!. Finance means nothing to us, let the owner worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a job for Mel, Sam and the finance team within the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he will get the support of all of us regardless. He will from me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I keep seeing people say 8 million is too much but Martin is possibly going for 9 million? And personally I'd pay more for vydra than Martin any day of the week? Vydra is a great all rounded striker , I've always liked Martin but to buy vydra and sell Martin and still gain 1 million would be great business if it happens!

Hang on, how in the hell is Vydra more all-rounded than Martin? I'm happy about this transfer and everything but this makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Martin is a target man used for link up play but you have to play specifically to his style otherwise he drifts out of the game regular to the point you don't know he's on the field, are you serious? Vydra has pace skill and can finish I think Martin is a very limited striker, I do rate him but not as highly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
