kingsy1884 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I see him very much in Rowetts plans. He loves a target man it suits a counter attacking side. Just look at some of his previous strikers Calvin Zola, Donaldson and Jukewiscz. Vydra in behind Martin seems like it could be a brilliant combination.

Manicsheepreacher Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Would be astonished if we let Martin go for 3 million. If we're going to cut our losses on other players in the squad, then selling one of our proven assets for a knocked down price makes no sense at all. If anything, his goal last night should add a few quid to his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Selling Martin for £3 million is the biggest load of horse **** I've ever heard. We payed nearly £5 million for Anya ffs! Now that the big man is signed up to an even bigger contract with us, we'll be able to hold out for big money, if Rowett does want to get rid.

He is currently on loan at Fulham, where he has bagged nine goals in 19 Championship appearances, while his time at parent club Derby has seen him consistently find the back of the net. Should he bag one more this season, it will be the fourth in a row he has reached double figures in the second tier, and at 28, he has a few more years left in him. However, the Rams could well be willing to part with Martin in the summer – and he could be available for around the £3million mark. A great piece bar the price ffs! He's the only one on the list given a price, but in the poll they fancy Abraham and Naismith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't dignify half decent arguments is generally a good rule. seriously though, you think he's a tough guy, someone who intimidates the opposition defences? I can only ever recall him getting a card for dissent and play acting. He's soft as custard. Martins washing line technique against Joey Barton was a thing of beauty.

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think there is a distinction between Pearson and rowett to made here. Pearson seemed ideologically wedded to 4-4-2 counter, Rowett is simply pragmatic. If he wants to use martin, he'll want to use him to hold up the ball and link play. Pearson wanted Martin to run in behind like vardy used to at Leicester and unsurprisingly, he was poop at doing that, hence, martin had to go.

Tombo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 He signed a new deal here, why would his value have dipped? At least £10m on his head now, even if he's been away for nearly a whole season. We've got no reason to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought the fee agreed with Fulham was £9m? So under a manager who didn't want him he was worth £9m and since he's signed a new contract and there's a possibility that the new manager would want him he's worth 1/3 of that?

It was £3 mil for the season long loan with a £6 mil agreed price at the end. The best thing about a striker like Martin is his longevity BECAUSE he doesn't rely on pace. His future is still in Fulham and his hands. Who knows what might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've got a feeling the chap who put this together for the Chronicle glanced over the Fulham deal, saw the fee £3 million on the page and just went with that as a fee we'd be looking for. It beggars belief that that would be the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really pleased that he scored the winner,lovely finish across the keeper into the side of the net. Had me and my boys singing Cum on Feel the Noise. Don't particularly rate Strachan but his comments about Martin scoring made me smile ” Kenny Dalglish used to get booed, Alan Hansen used to get booed, Gary McAllister used to get booed. “A great club to be involved with, that one. “If you can line up with them, that’s fantastic. “The starting point for him was when he made his debut. He understands what he brings to a team, but some people can’t see it which is understandable. “I don’t understand cricket too much, but they tell me there are some real good players, but I don’t understand the game".

The best thing about a striker like Martin is his longevity BECAUSE he doesn't rely on pace. His future is still in Fulham and his hands. Who knows what might happen. Is he reminiscent of Kuqi in that sense? I remember wen we got Kuqi, very underwhelming, what does he actually do, and he's dead old, clearly past it. But by the time he left he was a fan favourite, and contributed to loads of goals. I think it's then that some of us realised that a golden boot is not necessarily the sign o a great striker, there's more to it than that. Being clever makes up for a lack of pace every time.

The deal to Fulham was for £6 million [3 million loan deal as well]. Mac wanted to try and bring Martin back in January and the club mistakely offered Martin a contract extention plus double your money [allegedly £30,000 a week] which is roughly £1.5 million a year. If he GR is now looking now to offload Martin [if Fulham don't buy] then dropping the price to £3 million what the article says does make sense as we would be saving millions on his salary. Remember if Martin is not the focus of GR plans, having somebody sat on the bench whilst paying him £1.5 million a season is plain crazy.

It is a journalists opinion on who Sunderland should target if/when they are relegated, highlighted by this part of the piece.
