Wolfie20 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 17 minutes ago, YouRams said: If we're being honest Martin didn't have the best of seasons last season, I know he's come out and said he has lots to prove and probably didn't settle, but if we're looking to challenge I still think we're one striker short especially if we're looking to play with a holding striker. Ulloa wanted a move in Jan and is one I'd be looking at if we have money to spend. In Martin we already have the best holding striker in the Championship so spending money on Ulloa (substantial fee + significant salary) would be better used in strengthening other areas where there's more need I.e. wide attacking and central midfield.

Just worried we're going to base our whole game around him again, when in the past we've seen what happens when he's either out injured or gets marked out the game. We need as good as challenging him imo. Agree though other areas need looking at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still criminal to think we signed Vydra and never teamed him up with Martin. Martin and Nugent is a mouth watering prospect too, Martin is a clever striker and Nugent is quick. Both strikers capable of scoring hat tricks too, excited much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a lot of the games he was marked out of he had nobody up supporting him, so as you say could make his game even better having Nugent or Vydra alongside.

This may have been a valid point if McClaren were still in charge, but there is absolutely no evidence that Rowett will base our attacking threat solely around Martin.

I think you'd have a point if we hadn't got Nugent who can both cover/provide competition for Martin or play alongside Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Priority is surely a creator rather than a front man/striker. You could argue improving the wings and CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to seeing Martin partnered with Vydra or nugent - there are plenty of goals from those three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old #mrstatesthebleedinobviousalannixon Heres a scenario...you go to buy a car on limited funds, inevitably you go to motor point but then.... Lucky you you've just won a quadruple rollover on the Euromillions and BOOM ? all of a sudden you find your self wandering around Aston Martin Garage with a completely different shopping list. #welcometogarysworld #thankstomwillandcyrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett knew he would be moving there players on and knew he would get decent fees. To suggest that he's surprised by getting this money and has therefore drawn up a new list of players doesn't sound right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He openly said he didn't want Ince to go but when an offer came in he didn't stand in his way. i very much doubt the plan was to sell Ince and Hughes so we could keep Blackman and bent targets change all the time and Ted is spot on with this. We had a small transfer budget then we suddenly have extra funds to look at different target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't think Ince was leaving but straight away was talking about a high quality replacement coming in? Targets do change all of the time I agree with but to suggest he's just drawn up an entirely new list is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Mel got so fed up with Rowett and his scraps of paper going missing he bought him a new Jota to keep his notes all neat and tidy. #itk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
