Sparkle Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 So the only thing Chris Martin can’t do is run quick ? - yep agree ( probably can for twenty minutes) can he score goals - yep head the ball - yep control and pass the ball - yep win free kicks - yep head the ball away defensively -yep what am I missing ?

I'm sure Charlie said something similar on RD before Christmas about Hourihane, my eyes told me different on Saturday. What is to say he cant adapt? Fozzy looks as fit as he did 6 years ago, astonishing job having the right attitude in a system that's managed by someone who knows what they are doing. If Martin doesn't fancy it he just wouldn't come, but if we signed him I would back our management to get the best out of him. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanoakaram4life Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Much rather we go for someone like Kenneth Zahore. Not wanted by West Brom, know Mendez-Laing well, and 28 years old. If we can get him to rekindle his Cardiff form then we could be into a winner!

Nothing really. But I bet he'll be looking for a longer contract than we can offer, even if we could pay the money. Sparkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Love Chrissy Martin although I fiercely advocated against his signing when Clough got him from Norwich. I just couldn't see where the goals would come from and boy was I wrong. I think he'd fit Warne ball very nicely tbh. He'd hold the ball up, win free kicks, and he has that sneaky streak which his teams occupy. Defenders generally hate playing against him and given Warne loves to cross his aerial presence would help. Given that we can't pay fees and are limited in wages maybe bringing him back would be a good idea. He could alternate with Mcgoldrick giving us something a bit different. Yet, people will be wanting prime Martin which inevitably he is not now. He does seem to have a problem if he isn't getting first team football all the time which could also be an issue. It'd be very romantic if nothing else but am not sure if we'd be better off trying to get someone just a bit younger in. Srg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall over? There is a difference between winning a free kick and conning for one. Grealish wins free kicks (imho), Martin conned for them. You might like that, it's not what I want to see in my football team. jono, RoyMac5 and angieram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get him to rekindle his Cardiff form then we could be into a winner! 47 pages on the Zohore thread in the Albion forum…….big wages, happy to do nowt and collect his weekly wage, £8m fee played, 19 games in four seasons three goals. Sort of sums up the fans love for Zohore. One of if not the worst piece of transfer business our club has ever done and is one of many contributing factors to where we are today. Im amazed any club anywhere on this planet is remotley interested in picking him up even on a free. I wouldnt trust him to be a general member of club staff picking up minimum wage let alone a multi millionaire footballer. Terrible player good riddance. …………………….not for me thanks. ?

There was little conning, just the exaggeration that even Grealish uses. What did you think of Franny Lee? kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRammy Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have to say something i cant let this pass by Yes CM and johnny russell were good and average players their best . But again GOOD GRIEF really ?? . We need young hungry FIT players we have enough old wise men for the youngsters already at the club to have to cover them with their energy levels . Come onnnnn paul warne sign CM with his style of press pmsl . And JR good god he was average at his best no tricks in his locker at all .Johnny russell was a poor mans Gary Micklewhite who i would describe as having no tricks but an incredible work rate ( deffo a paul warne type player ) . Who next ...........John Gregory , stevie mac part 5 or is it 4 ( lost count ) GOOD GOD move on we need new players not the old crew back that basically FAILED to get us in the prem . kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Gerry Daly and S8TY 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
