Just a sign of respect. Obviously has a good rapport with our 'Col'. I think there is a mutual respect. Our Col always seems to get a mention about CM into his interviews with Cocu too. CG is a closet Wardrobe fan me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that with a few recently, like Curtis. Said it before and I'll say it again 3 years @ £30k a week = £4.68m Does anyone think we'd get a better number 9 than Martin for that money?

Eatonram Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Quite simply the best centre forward (of his type) since O'hare, and I've seen them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's 34? Probably. Just don't see why you'd ever need to make that deal. No one is going to be competing on that plane for him. You'd just be outbidding yourself for no reason. You wouldn't rock up at a house auction and up the bid by £50,000 for no reason when you could win it for £500 more. We can all acknowledge he's likely a top earner here from a time where that money was the norm. We are in a different place now, as is he. He's a realist and will likely know that too, he's seen the grass isn't always greener. We can likely offer less money than he's getting now which is still going to be competitive for what he'd get anywhere else, if not more, and still give him 1 or 2 years for it. Everyone wins there, whereas your proposal is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. What an absolute pile of poop , in the main apart from a few who totaly don’t rate Martin in that obsessive style that is often vented on some of our players , most people were balanced in their view to the player but rightly niggled by the equally obsessive Martin worshipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look back to posts August/September to find people who wanted rid and didn't rate him. That's not including those from previous seasons commenting when he was sent out on loan that he was past it. You call some "equally obsessive Martin worshippers" as though they are the other side of the same coin. At least the Martin worshippers have some facts to justify their belief ( like the numbers of goals scored for the club or the range of skills he shows when touching the ball ) what have the dismissers got to justify themselves. You clearly don't get that for some some supporters watching skillful players is part of why we come to games to watch live football. Yesterday Martin's skill was on view for all to see. Other players offer different things and I got as much enjoyment watching Sibley and Bird as i did from watching Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Did anyone else notice the back-heel nutmeg he did yesterday? On the touchline right in front of the dugouts if I recall correctly. Proper mugged off the Blackburn player. Vintage Wardrobe, audacious bit of skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserved to get the foul for that, but if he had retained the ball... between that and Sibley's goal I was going to get rid of my season ticket because I'd have completed football.
