Pretty dire coverage for a pretty dire player. lol The fact that this thread (not even including the one in transfer talk) has 215 pages would suggest that we do care...

Nuwtfly Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If I could get as passionate about my professional career as @Ninos is about Chris Martin, I might just make something of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not wait to see him back in a Derby shirt, and most fans I know agree with this, Martin makes us a better team all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Imagining that Chris had had the career he had with us at say Leeds, and had then gone on to Fulham...and now we were potentially signing him. I would be pretty lukewarm. I'm not saying I wouldn't welcome him..I just wouldn't see him as a main man to push us top 3/4. Can't help thinking a lot of the excitement is nostalgia rather than genuine appreciation of the player. I realise I will get shot down in flames and all the stats will come out..but that's my gut reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many have told you their views on Martin? What is the ratio like? If he has been bang average what would consider being as good? Who was the last good striker we had then? Just so I know who you are comparing him to. You can not like some one for whatever reason you want but to throw hyperbole rubbish out there to try and make is point just makes you look like a bitter and twisted person.

I'd suggest you look at where Boro and Fulham have been playing their football, and say that he also played with Norwich. He scores, assists, links play and defends well at corners, and yet is only 28, sounds a great player for us to buy. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So name one please? Name a striker who has been consistently as good as Martin - That we can conceivably get to boost our chances for the coming season... It's all very well being negative but please try to be useful instead - At the moment all you're doing is saying "No" - We need you to give us a "No - But..." - A suggestion of what the possible solution is please We're not a Premier League team at the moment - So we're not going to be able to attract the next Ronaldo to join us - And for the upper end of the Championship pushing for promotion (which Martin has done before) he's a very good striker - 3 of our former managers have thought so, a Fulham manager has thought so, and the only manager who hasn't thought so is our worst manager in my memory of watching Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of posting those Martin videos is because it showed everything last seasons team lacked aka a bit of quality in front of goal and someone who brings others into play. It was no coincidence that our goals without Martin did not come from midfield or wings (aside Ince obvs) while Fulham's goals came from all over. Theres no guarantees obviously and Martin has a point to prove as there will be, and has to be a few questions at his door, but also you have to remember his first stint with us. When he came he had been shipped out on loan a couple of times by Norwich before without really impressing and was becoming a bit of an unknown. He had that point to prove and we gave him that chance. I think this season could hold something similar for him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
