Who calls him The Exploder anyway? Stupid bloody name.

Most probably.

Darren Bent is better and will remain better than Martins, imo.

Yes. Instead of hitting left foot/right foot screamers into the net, jumping to flash the ball with his head for goal, racing clear with blistering pace, chesting the ball down to hit the ball first time on the half-volley,... he should have laid the ball safely back to Carr to swing a high cross towards the goal... Haha, spot on. Can't believe you muppets want to see the back of him........WTF! You're talking about the 17 things he's done right. He's done 100s of things wrong. Cos we can afford to do without those 17 things he did right? Of course we needed him last season because there was no one else. There are a number of other strikers who can get 11-12 league goals a season and not give the ball back to oppo 75% of the time.

Tbh, Martins probably cost us a good few matches last season he was that poor at times.

Why can't Wenger offer £13m for Luque?

Think Shorey's decent, but certainly wouldn't break the bank to get him.

I'd take it. I suspect his goals tally this season might actually be a fluke, as it's really very good for someone who can barely play football.

Wow never heard of that place but its a pretty funky kit. I've read up a bit about them and interestingly (some may find) the team is owned by a belgian fashion designer. They are in the 6th tier of italian football....so having a sponsor like samsung is insanity! They have a proper sleek webby too http://www.fcfossombrone.it/ Gayest kit ever.

Desperation, ffs.

Watch him go to Boro now.

In short: he wants to move, then.

Tbh, there's some proper bollocks being talked here.

It could work to our advantage. He's probably busting a nut to get a run in the league.

I would class him as strong, though, even if he doesn't have the height.

Why's this turned into some fucking Boro lovefest? Surely the point was that we should be aiming our sights higher than Boro, and that's spot on.

Please be Souness. Please be Souness. Please be Souness.

Your first thread should be a huge version of your avatar. Get off on the right foot.

Surprised at the low-key reaction. I think he's quality.

If Geremi is RB then Beye will play CB, no problems. I suspect, however, that Carr will remain at RB and Geremi will be pushed into midfield.

If nothing else, would be an excellent squad player, but I think if he got his head down he could do really well for us. Still at a good age, lots of experience and a quality, intelligent player. Might be just what we need as a holding midfielder, if that's what BSA has planned.

Who's De Man?

So how wide of the mark are we talking? £5m?

Great signing, imo. Underrated player who's never really had a chance to settle.
