I don't know any Fulham fans but i'd imagine he is public enemy number 1, massively. He could even argue that an expected reaction from the fans could be putting his personal safety at risk. He won't play today - and he'll be back on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we can score 5 to offset the mandatory 4 goals conceded away at Leicester that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Jesus Christ are Fulham total idiots. Never have I seen such a foolish display of arrogance, playing a player who quite clearly doesn't want to be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I don't get the outrage with what Derby and Martin have done here. If I was a Fulham fan then it would be the club I would be annoyed at, as they've let it get to this stage. Fulham could have signed Martin in the summer, which, if it had of happened, would have meant this saga never saw the light of day. Of course, we could have looked to sign him back and he could have done a 'Pogba' so to speak. In any case, Fulham would have been well, well, well compensated. Nevertheless, Fulham took an non-committal approach with Martin in the summer and went for a 'try-before-you-buy' method. At the time, we were left furious and Fulham fans couldn't believe their luck, mostly stating: 'if he's **** then we can send him back at the end of the season and Derby have a dwindling asset on their books. If he's good then we can trigger the agreement and look to sign him. In hindsight, they went down the wrong route. The situation meant: Chris Martin was still a registered employee with Derby County. Fulham had an agreement with Derby County over a permanent fee in the future. Fulham didn't have any agreement with Chris Martin past the coming season. When McClaren came back, it was obvious that he would want Martin back. It quickly came to light that Martin wanted to come back, too. We, as his employer, acknowledged the situation with Fulham and requested that we have him back. They, within their rights, said no. In the long-term, though, we were always within our right to offer Chris Martin a contract. Fulham, equally, could('ve) trigger(ed) the previous agreement they had with Derby County and looked to offer Martin a contract. I don't know if Fulham have done that, I don't know if there was/is any point in Fulham doing that, but Martin has signed a contract extension with Derby and we know, at the very latest, he will be with us next season. Fulham could have, perhaps should have, been more committed to the future of Chris Martin earlier in the season. We've just done everything we can to rectify an abhorrent wrong. It was always within Fulham's power to avoid this situation, they just weren't committed enough. I don't know if they will send him back, but it seems beyond pointless keeping him now.

ajallen75 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 It's now going to develop into a form of Mexican standoff. It looks like Jokanovic is happy simply to Cup-tie Martin just for the hell of it. Completely understand their position, we were idiot enough to agree to the deal in the first place, but this isn't going to end well now for either side. Their fans are rightly in uproar, Martin doesn't want to be there, we have just lit the touchpaper and are sitting back watching the sparks fly. Not good.

He has been picked today because Fulham have no one else to play up front today and will get someone in before Tuesday 2300 hrs to replace our Chris.

LauraH Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Why would they play him when he clearly doesn't want to play for them. Really, really strange. And yeah I get that he is on loan etc but that doesn't make it any less strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
