Coneheadjohn Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I hope Martin comes back and gets a chance and proves himself. I am starting to think(with no evidence to back it up) that Rowett will cash in and look elsewhere. Honestly,as much as I love Martin I wouldn't be surprised to see Rowett go and bring a unit in. But,he might do that with Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But,he might do that with Vydra. It's an interesting one, Rowett could look at it one of two ways. On one hand he has not had Martin to manage and you don't miss what you haven't had, he could get 7 million and use the money to sign 2 or 3 damn good players from abroad. Or, should he think we need a striker, he may look at it that he is about to get a striker capable of scoring 20 goals a season for nothing. I would be happy with either scenario, as long as any money we receive is spent wisely, unlike the Hendrick money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Martin still has the chance of playing at Wembley. If I was Rowett I would be happy to have a player with those stats turning up for pre-season.

His goal tally although looks rather good, the reality is he has scored few goals each season since he came to us and this season is not even in the top 20 goal scorers in the championship. I actually thought Martin has played in more than 25 games this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got faith that Rowett will put that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Hector scored less goals in our title winning season than he did in his debut season but I don't see you spouting ***** about him! Don't let other good facts get in the way of your agenda mate.

King Kevin Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I know you shouldn't look at it this way but with our record in transfer dealings CM is a known quantity so therefore we should take him back just to stop another clusterfuck of an incoming transfer.

EnigmaRam Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Let's face it the teams been in decline and the negative tactics will only create less goals throughout. This isn't just a Martin issue @toddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 While I'm a huge CM fan, if anybody came in with something silly like £12m (or frankly quite a bit less) then we'd be stupid not to try and cash in. I liked Hendrick, but you couldn't sensibly turn down £10m and CM is in the same bracket. I don't think for a minute anybody would be offering that though. Not sure actually why anybody would want to go beyond the figure agreed with Fulham. Doubt his stock has risen that much while he's been there. FWIW I hope we get no bids and he comes back refreshed and hungry (like a hippo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't just a Martin issue @toddy well there were negative tactics under clement... not sure about mac 2 or rowett (or wassall). but we have struggled to score throughout the team. I think having nugent and martin as options next year will boost our goal tally but agree we need to improve service to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberRamber Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Not sure how Chris Martin takes abuse for the team being in decline. When everything was roses he was the top man. When things weren't so good he's vilified. If its not Keogh its Ince. If its not Ince its Martin. I recall Chris Baird being labeled as a useless tw*t and now most talk of him in glowing terms. Let's have Chris martin galloping all over the pitch, putting a shift in, running his socks off. Or we could have Chris Martin at the top of the pitch trying to get onto the end of things and also winning freekicks. Oh and being a very very good target man to hold the ball up and take pressure off the other players and bring them into the game. We can all point out his bad points but his good points far out weigh them If other sides want to spend big money on him then surely that means he isn't a bad player. Oh.....and he's one of the top scorers for a side occupying a play off berth which is now out of our reach. So he's been in sides vying for promotion the last four seasons. Crap obviously.

Why would we spout shi&% about him.Finest player of his generation at gliding across a football pitch at speed with the ball under control.The comparison is an insult.
