plymouthram Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Got talks with the club at the end of this month, got to get a 12 month contract for next season surely. I did hear that he's one of Derby's top earners, so might have to take a pay drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollycutts1982 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Scored 6 goals in the last 2 league games and he has scored 2 and assisted 3. Not a bad effort. Says it all really. We are a much better side with an on form Chris Martin in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Fozzy's there, who had a stinker (according to some posters) Shinnie did have a better rating than Fozzy, just not better than DaSilva or Clucas. Regarding his reported "stinker"; I think looking back he had a noticeably poor start to the game; but was very steady for the rest of it (without pulling up trees) so its easy for people, myself included, to get hung up on the start. I do think Bird, Sibley and Bogle (7.6, 7.8, 7.8 respectively) all had better games though personally - there are some elements that effect WhoScored ratings more than others. The area of Fozzy's game that has spiked the WhoScored rating is his "Key Passes" stat (which are those controversial stats for assisting a goalscoring opportunity that wasn't converted), of which he had 4 - which is impressive, in fairness.

Very media savvy, reads the game well and his articulate nature should help him get his point across to the team. Sure I've read it elsewhere that he is already a leader and very vocal in the dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very media savvy, reads the game well and his articulate nature should help him get his point across to the team. Sure I've read it elsewhere that he is already a leader and very vocal in the dressing. He is a brilliant footballer. He has great feet and a 360 degree brain. I pay my money to see CM play. He is a natural leader, not in a demonstrative way but he holds great influence over others through the way he conducts himself. He looks in great condition and you can tell by his whole demeanour right now that he’s in a good place. He’s overcome real challenges over the past couple of seasons but come through them and has now, in my view, etched an indelible mark as a Derby County “hero” and “name”. If we don’t get him signed up for another year, we want “bloody shoot in’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I think his fury is reserved for those managers that extradited him and he doesn't hold it against the club for the part we played in him being messed about. He's shown an admirable amount of dignity in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 1 year deal with playing time automatic extension clause. We did that with a few recently, like Curtis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well I liked Chris Martin BEFORE it was cool. All these posts from Johnny come latelys...where were you in the dark old days when we had to fight FOR PAGES AT A TIME about our love for Martin?!? We stuck to our guns why you dined out on false idols like ‘Nuge’ and ‘Matej’. Excuse me whilst I dine out on this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of player who's intelligence and speed of thought means more than the speed he can cover the grass. This means he could well go on for a few years yet unlike a Owen or Lineker who needed that turn of pace to ply their trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
