Especially when we're about to face a system chance with a new manager. Cash in appropriately but if we can’t use them appropriately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't specify that in my post. Apologies! £2 million for martin would seem light. Loan him out if we dont need him in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaning him out again could devalue him more as next season (19/20) would be his last season at the club, turns 30 in November, out of form, the chance to cash in big on him has long gone.

Anag Ram Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm a Martin fan but I'm afraid we have to view every player as an asset who can provide some much needed cash for the promotion push. I wouldn't care if we had a whole new starting eleven if that was a stronger unit than last year. I would like to see a younger team that could perhaps stay together if we went up. Martin will only stay if Lampard is prepared to accept his lack of pace and finds players who can use his passing ability. Personally I think he will simply see him in the 'get rid' pile.

Carl Sagan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I said elsewhere I would love to see Martin and Vydra playing off each other as a front two. It comes down to financials and also reducing the squad size while trying to retain the quality. I'd rather sell Jerome, Weimann and Nugent before getting rid of Martin or Vydra, but if McClaren offers decent money then it's worth considering.

EnigmaRam Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It would be a saving of around £3mil just in wages from Martin. Get a couple of mil plus a bit for Pearce and save on his wages and that’s £6-£7 mil saved from 2 players that did cack all for us last 2 seasons. Invest a bit on a souttar type round CB that we need and a left back and that’s good business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR are brassic and Martin still has 2 20 goal seasons left in him. They are trying to get him cheaply. A bit of a dilemma but don’t sell him for £500k. He still has lots to offer if played in a “proper” football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Really wanted to just post saying ‘don’t sell for less than £15 million’, you know as a joke, but I’m probably being serious too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him back in form, by not messing him about. He is the youngest of our strikers and the least reliant on pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 In all seriousness, like most have said it’s kinda up to Frank who he keeps/sells on and if he sells Martin I’d take it on me chin (although I’d want more than £2mill) To be honest I’m more interested in outgoings than incomings this summer. Say we sold Martin and then Jerome and Nugent were kept on and we’re not even the source of any outgoing rumour then that would certainly give me an air of caution. Again it’s only my opinion, but out of the three mentioned I’d only be bothered about seeing Martin in a Derby shirt again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it’s only my opinion, but out of the three mentioned I’d only be bothered about seeing Martin in a Derby shirt again Let's say lampard has a look at Martin and likes him but Steve McLaren comes in to offer him a role at qpr,then Chrissie will have quite the dilemma.... Fight out with all of our other strikers every match for that number 9 spot(assuming lampard utilises all of our strikers that remain/come into the club) or pretty much have a guaranteed starting place at qpr every week? Throw into the mix that Martin might really want to play under lampards regime and his strong family roots in derby. Alternatively lampard may just not want him at all and the decision is made for him. Personally I'd like to think that a manager like lampard will recognise his benefits and make good use of him in a good attacking side but the draw of working under Mac must be a strong one too.

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Personally, I think it'd be a no brainer interms of playing for McClaren again. The forces against that would be moving his family (and lowering his wages) I think he'll go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Martin + Vydra go, maybe get £13-14m for them both but around 60k a week saved if they are both high earners - that's over £3m saved on wages for the year as well as a big amount of funds in. Selling these 2 could possibly cover the cost of 4 new players + their wages. We already have the wage budget reduced with Shackell, Bent + Baird off it and i'm sure there will a few more outgoings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
