RamNut Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Whatever money he is on, is whatever we have offered him. Therefore i don't see how we can begrudge him it. Chris suffered once our midfield started to be dismantled as he relies on midfield players getting up in support. Pearson seemed to prefer the idea of pacy strikers. Same with growett who also got rid of the midfield. We are still a bit short in attacking midfielders and it remains to be seen who fits where.. Seems like a good bloke though. ???????

blackNwhites Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I know we say every year he looks slim and lean, but he really does look slimmer this year. He looks ready as well, kind of nervous in his interview but ready for his challenge. Best of luck to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Whatever you think of Chris Martin's ability and career trajectory, there's no doubt he's a great guy who cares about Derby. If he can somehow strike his way back into the fold I'd be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I like Chris Martin a lot and think he's a thinking person's footballer. ? Makes contributions to the game far beyond the goals he scores.Not all fans acknowledge or even see this. For the past couple of seasons I have really wished he'd made a success of his loans and gain a permanent move so he could pick up his career again with a club where he feels settled. By the sound of this interview, that club for him is still Derby (rather miraculously, given how things have panned out for him) so I will always be behind him if he is chosen as part of the squad. Just a point on his wages that is repeated often on here as a reason not to play him. If he's getting paid anywhere near some of even the lower guesses on here, any loan club will be picking up a fraction of that cost and we'll be paying the rest. So you have to consider whether you want to pay all of his wages while you're at it and have the benefit of his contribution. I hope it works out for Chris whatever happens.

We need to spend our money very wisely and have a fair few gaps to fill... We need a different option to Marriott and Waghorn... who can we get to come in for low money, who knows how to hold the ball up, has a record of scoring goals and benefits in multiple ways in a 4-3-3 formation?

DCFC1388 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Martin coming back is basically replacing Nugent, I would have preferred Martin over Nugent last season let alone this. People can question his goal output but he didnt have the best record before we signed him originally & after that interview he sounds like he is fitter than he has been for a couple of years, maybe the stomach issues he had (i dont mean being fat either) have maybe passed. Cocu likes to play good football, Martin is technically one of our better players so may well suit Cocu's style of play similar to how he suited McClarens Whatever happens, he has a clean slate so if Cocu wants to keep him around then who are we to argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, i am a big fan of Martin and hope he gets back into our team. My response was a response to 'please no more'. My thoughts being please no more negative comments. Admit it doesn't always come across right online. If you ever read my posts about Martin i am nothing but positive about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever read my posts about Martin i am nothing but positive about him. Fair play to you. For every ten that love him there's one or two that doubt him. If he gets a chance for us this season, just listen to the roar when he scores. As soon as he steps foot on the pitch, we'll sing his name. He means a lot to us and we mean a lot to him. Rowett threw him on randomly against Reading when we'd already lost, he scored and I was well chuffed for him but then he was put back in the cupboard.
