GenBr Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I wouldn't be against giving him a chance, but if he is one of the players on mega bucks I imagine we will try and get rid. In either case we've probably negotiated some stupid contract with him that means if he scores one more goal we have to pay him a bonus of £10 million like we seem to do with every other player.

Stive Pesley Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I would be amazed if he ends up back in the first team picture, but to give the OP his due - in comparison to Nuge, he had a very similar season at Hull, so it's not an outrageous suggestion that he could contribute as much as Nuge did David Nugent Scored 2 Assists 1 1198 minutes played / 599 minutes per goal Total Shots 28 Shots on target 12 / 43% Chris Martin Scored 2 Assists 1 1402 minutes played / 701 minutes per goal Total Shots 14 Shots on target 9 / 64% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin isn't going to close down and pull defenders around off-the-ball like Nugent does. So in order for Martin to get a role in the team over Nugent, he'd have to score/assist far more (which he has been capable of in the past, in fairness - I just think it'd be difficult if he wasn't starting every week, which he wouldn't be). You never know who's going to come out of pre-season smiling, and I certainly don't hold it against anyone that they're hopeful for a Chris Martin return, but I don't think it's likely. At all.

Ramarena Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We had some good times with Martin, but he doesn’t fit into a Lampard side. If jack Marriott isn’t starting due to his lack of application, then there’s no way Martin would be getting a game! Lampard wants his strikers to be hard workers who will close down and get through plenty of running for the team.....Martin doesn’t do this and will be sent out on loan again or sold for a cut price fee if possible.

I know Chrissy hasn’t been scoring for a while but his holdup play is still there. Instead of loaning Martin out again, why not use him for the Nugent role? In our system I would expect him to bag 7-10 for us as opposed to Nuges 2-5? I think there’s a lot who would like to see him in that role. A steady, respected head to have round too. Think wages are his biggest issue now, but I wouldn’t be against seeing him round a bit more at all. Its a good debating point, one that’s as credible as anything we will have over summer to be honest, but most of the time on here any Martin related discussion ends up with an OTT reactions that spark others to slanging matches rather than anything sensible. My advice is to be ignore the responses where people sound like stroppy teenagers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If he makes the same (lack of) effort in training that he did in his last match for us at PP he'll get nowhere near the team - and rightly not If he puts in a shift in training he'd be an interesting option alongside Marriott and / or Waghorn.

G-Ram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The only two things nugent & Martin have in common is they were both decent four year ago and both rubbish now Dont see the point in replacing someone that isnt very giid anymore with someone that isn't very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Whilst I think that are probably right regarding Martin, I'd still be curious to see how he handles himself in the current regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wanted to go out? Maybe he has a bad attitude? Maybe Lamps just didn't fancy him? I can't answer, because I'm not Frank Lampard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Martin highly but a change is style of play would be required. Martin's best hope would be under a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Think he would be a decent option to have on the bench, there was times last season when we were trying to play a certain way and it just wasn’t working in certain games and the only subs we had were just like for like.

Shang Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Martin is a striker for teams who like to play second balls. Long direct balls to feet or to his chest to on running midfielders. Nugent is a striker who runs the channels and presses, not necessarily there to score the goals but to stretch the play and get others to burst through the gaps he leaves behind. Martin is a Llorente type for Spurs, not sure he fits in any of our game plans (though I could imagine him alongside Marriott could work out rather well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
