Well if you must change the subject... If he wants to go they'll have to cash in now or lose him for nowt. So I'd imagine they'll look at offers definitely. If they want playoffs again then they'll have to replace him same day unless Ollie Watkins was his replacement. They're probably not too worried about a bad start - can happen to even the greatest of great teams. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could end up just coming down to player power. We've seen it work for us in the past (Thorne, Shackell) and also times when it hasn't (Forestieri, Antonio). Can a Championship club afford to reject an offer of 6 or 7 million for a player in the last year of his deal? I'm not so sure. I'm pretty certain it won't happen though. We still have way too many wingers on our books and with every day we move closer to the window closing his price will just be going up as they'll have less time to replace their best player.

Comrade 86 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Of all the (tenuous) links to players, Jota was the one that excited me most. Like a few on here it seems, I have a feeling it might never really have been on. Heyho, I think we have a decent enough squad to at least try and challenge for a playoff slot.

Derbados Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Disappointingly, Rowetts just stated "I'm happy with what we've got" in regards to transfers. I think it's safe to say we aren't going to be spending millions on Jota or anyone else for that matter unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 "I'm happy with what we've got" is very far from "no more incomings". He's just letting the other managers know that we aren't desperate. I'm sure we're still in for another forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wood has just gone for 15m + add ons, not too different type or quality to Martin imo, only major difference is 3 years in age It pains me to move away from the player this thread is about, but just to clarify - Martin and Wood are very different types of forward. Wood is athletic, and runs around a lot with a hard shot, but doesn't possess much in the way of technical ability or good hold up play. Literally the opposite of Chris Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsPolls Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Like I've said before, the longer this goes on. The more likely we are to sign him. Brentford want him to go to a Premier League team so they get the best deal and they aren't seen to be selling to a league rival. But with Boro & Hull now looking to come in for him, think we need to start pushing Brentford for a sale. £7m should be enough for him in the last year of his contract.
