Indeed GR's rationale was that the 'new' players will allow the others to do what they do best. PS I daren't welcome Chrissy home until I see him in the kit! Bloody #toddyfacts have got me jittery!

PodgeyRam Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The fact that Pearson wanted to get rid of him is a good enough reason to keep him in my eyes. I go by one rule in life - whatever Nigel Pearson's instinct is, do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Rowett is on record saying he's spoken to Martin and wants him back - Does that not suggest to people that potentially he DOES fit into the Rowett style? Didn't he sign Jutkiewicz? Who for me was always a poor version of Martin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Top player and has done well for us especially considering he cost nowt. However, listening to Rowett yesterday he was very keen to stress that the squad needs to improve it's fitness and work rate to play the way he wants them to, not sure Chris Martin totally fits in with this. It will be interesting to see how Rowett deals with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that the team likes to play possession based football but we will need to add to our athleticism to be able to play a different way when it isn't working.

TobyWanKenobi Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 63 goals in 161 games, a fantastic record for us. Only mental people will disregard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in the interviews since Pearson Mel asked about Martin, keep or sell. If the wrong answer was given then the interview stops immediately and escorted from the building.

Leicester Ram Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We're adding a striker reportedly worth £10 million (at least to Fulham) to our squad for free. Regardless of your opinion of Martin, that's great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Rowett has show he likes a target man at both Burton and Birmingham. Martin fits the bill imo in terms of a hold up man. But we have options if the gane dictates it with Nugent and Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Injuries permitting, by adding Martin, Thorne and Forsyth to our squad, you are adding a significant amount of quality and most importantly, aerial strength at defending set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also dont forget if it was purely just a get rid of Martin ploy by Pearson, then he would have been sold to Wolves. Wolves put a decent bid in, but it was rejected.
