Lets hope that his family is settled and happy here and he remembers it just hasnt worked anywhere else over last couple of years. Just remember that buzz around Pride Park when he first came on as sub this season. He wont get that anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Since we seem to have no money, extending his contract is probably our best option, but we are probably pissing him off in the process. did anyone notice his goal celebration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone banging on about his goal celebration in a game where we were toss, against an already promoted team, in a stadium with no fans in a nothing to play for game.

Well there have been negotiations, and word on the street is we have 'no money', so maybe he's pissed off. Or maybe its all negotiations - afterall why not do a Huddz if you're definitely moving on?

He has nearly the same number of goals from half the shots! (I suspect mostly this season that's down to him playing very unselfishly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former implies the club have made him an insulting offer whilst the latter implies the offer is reasonable but not what he wants. We'll never know.

Sparkle Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He can accept the offer or he can decline it - this time last year there would have been no offer based on appearances for us. good luck to him if he moves on but I will be glad if he stays as we need options in the forward line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - and he could just be hacked off because of the timing of it all......in more "normal" times he might have thought he would generate a lot of interest that perhaps in current times he isn't getting. Not his fault, shizzle happens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The only thing wrong with Chris Martins game at the mo is our midfield , no drive or pace to get forward and support Chris , he played his best football with Russell and Bryson type players , take note Mr Cocu for your summer recruiting, if Chris stays of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I understand complaints that he’s one dimensional and slow but Marriott is equally one dimensional. Yeah, Martin doesn’t run in behind effectively but when does Marriott ever hold the ball up well? Waghorn’s the most versatile of the three but it doesn’t equal a brilliant striker, if anything Waggy’s a bit of a master of none. More dimensions has its value but it’s very difficult in the championship to find someone who is multi-dimensional and genuinely good. There’s a phrase in NFL analytical circles that I think is relevant to the championship: eliteness over completeness. You can find players in the championship who are elite in one area, for Martin it’s hold up play and for Marriott it’s playing off the shoulder. You’re better off building around those elite traits and accentuating them, that’s how you get value out of squads without paying massive money. It’s what we’ve done with Bird’s holding role in midfield, we let him drop off and dictate the tempo with his passing. Resulted in a very valuable player that we can build around and compliment.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I guess he will be given some kind of deadline to decide (sufficient for his agent to tap up a few clubs that could be interested) in mean while we can be seeing what is out there ourselves.

May Contain Nuts Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 6 hours ago, Premier ram said: The only thing wrong with Chris Martins game at the mo is our midfield That and he tires massively after an hour or so and becomes much less effective, misplaces more passes, gets tackled more easily and is more easily marked out of the game in open play. It's been noticeable recently that in the first half of games he's been popping up all over the pitch to make those little layoffs (think when he set Lawrence away from near our own corner flag against Brentford) but as the game goes on he stays upfront more and can't get in the game. Yeah he needs more support from the midfield, we need to get the ball to him more often and get close to him, as has always been the case, but we can't just pretend that he hasn't become less mobile and that it isn't a problem in itself when he does tire.
