1. That's a load of s***. 2. That's a load of absolute s***. It's not - Firstly he's scored sixth goals this season; that's half a dozen and some of them haven't even been stormers. Secondly he's played seven games less this season than permacrock Owen. Feel free to expand your argument though and prove me wrong though. has a different partner every match (almost). no delivery and plays in a s... team! what do you expect? So has Owen, i'm sure he wasn't expecting to play alongside Andy Carroll this season. Seriously, this "Martins is better than Owen is better than Martins is better than Owen" argument is tiresome. You can only go on who does their job the best and Owen does just that. hard to say whos best of the two......i just believe martins is more important to keep here than owen when you think of.....age, injuries and ambition

1. That's a load of s***. 2. That's a load of absolute s***. This "Martins only scores screamers and hardly any of them" business is particularly tiresome. He scores tap-ins, he scores headers, he scores typical centre forward's goals and yes, he scores the odd brilliant long ranger. It's almost as if that goal at Spurs has gone down on his record as a bad thing - only at NUFC. Not saying he doesn't score simple goals, he just doesn't do it enough if he wants to be considered a top class striker. His ability in front of goal isn't one of his main problems - his lack of pace and a footballing brain are. That's me done with this one. Played. Lack of pace go to bed and sleep it off.....your rampling!

who is our best striker then....you didn´t answer? martins isn´t as injured as owen either! are you drunk?

The only strikers i would keep would be Martins and Loven. Carroll - is a championship striker imo and Xisco - if he was good would of played more games considering the awful amount of injuries to our strikers. Personally I think our front line is complete dirge barring Owen. We're going to be in this situation next season if wre stay up and none of the other strikers at the club are capable of scoring enough goals to keep us up. goalscoring strikers are important! but its not our strikers fault we are in this mess. Ok, they have been injuried a lot .....which means we haven´t had any consistency on top. For me the problem is our midfield which dosen´t provide anything for the strikers. Our midfield isn´t helping our ok defence either! Goalscoring strikers are important that's why we need to get rid of Carroll and Xisco, Owen doesn't offer much for his salary and the amount of games he plays in a year. Martins is the only one who can create something out of nothing and scares defenders martins is our best striker, for sure! owen i wouldn´t mind staying if he accept a cut in wages. but if he leaves with viduka and 1 or 2 more strikers we need to buy. Agree we could use a quality striker.....personally i wouldn´t mind bendtner to partner martins or someone else who can create something on his own. all i want is to sort out our midfield first!

I dont see lovenkrands better than xisco and caroll....they have more potential i believe! they could partner owen or martins ok i guess....but i wouldnt mind a new good striker like bendtner or some other "big/strong" dude if ameobi, løvenkrands and caroll leaves....just dont believe its the most important department at the moment. Xisco needed adjustment and have been injuried and maybe "looked over" thinking of all the chances ameobi had....couldnt have been worse, too early to write him off (i hope)

basically what we need to do is quiet simple: 1st: Kinnear, most of the coaching staff and D. Wise must leave. 2nd: replace with someone who can work under the budget, but have "full" control over which players goes or comes. I kind of like the idea of a quiet young and unproven (at this level) manager. 3rd: Get rid of players like: Duff, geremi, viduka, smith, butt, ameobi, cacapa (løvenkrands, caroll, owen) keep the defence, cover for LB, buy 1 attacking central midfield or at least CM and buy 1 RW. Depending who goes in attack...we could be sorted in that department if these stays. owen: (which would be good to keep coz we could attract other players and have experience if build a younger side. Has to accept a cut in wages martins: Caroll Xisco

Very true Skirge, I guess this thread all comes down to the choice of manager again. But then with us seemingly looking to do things differently to every other club (the inexperienced DOF system and payment up front/receipt over years), will they be able to entice anyone better? I'm not so sure. 3 x agree Thats just it though, we won't, no manager in their right mind would want the job, I am not convinced even JK will take the new offer if its still on the table, the DOF thing has to go its a stupid idea but then add to it the fact thats its Wise makes it 10x worse again. Every manager wants money but some are able to work on a non massive amount, like Bruce he knows and understands at Wigan that he oes not have fortubes to play with yet has still done a good job. But no way would he want to work under Wise. Works the other way to though, no point having a large budget then giving the money to a iidiot like JK to spend, the balance is what we need, non over the top spending but a clever enough manager whoc an work the trander window. No Wise or any DOF and Bruce with £20mill in a transfer window could be an okay situation, it just won't happen.

cant take this club serious before we get a promising or proven manager with long vision in. I also think a "new" squad is necessary asap: these players have to leave with our manager: cacapa smith ameobi butt geremi duff viduka owen....can stay if he accepts lower wage think about the wages between these players and what they offer wouldn´t be sad if løvenkrands didnt got a new contract either

viduka must leave end of season....which he will do, im sure! If we stay up, im starting to think owen might stay unless he gets 5-10 goals in our survival! ameobi and smith should leave as well! attack next season no 1 first: Owen (if he stays) Martins Xisco/løvenkrands/caroll we will not buy or shouldn´t before we get rid of some

caroll ?

didn´t wanted to start a new thread....but if valencia is going to sell out im really sad about our situation. Would be great to sign some of there players: albiol fernandes joaquin silva (my favorite) villa mata vicente maduro viana know we aint gonna get any of them!

im happy with be no 17th. But would love to end above spurs (not gonna happen) we have so important games left against team around us in the bottom.....its all up to us!

difficult to predict the midfield for this one: Harper S. Taylor Colo Bassong Enrique R. Taylor ? ? Jonas Oba Løvenkrands ameobi should not play.....if løvenkrands dosen´t perform then caroll at half time Its amazing how awful bad our central midfield is. Its the reason for our terrible terrible season....WITHOUT A DOUBT. We hould sack all our central midfielders except nolan and guthrie which both would be decent in the championship next year

im not surprised....all i expected!

The fact that he is still on there proves, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that the management simply don't have a clue. Not a clue. it says everything!

if we go for keeper in the summer it should be kameni....good age and talented out of contract in the summer, i think! keep what we got....i dont want us to spend too much on a keeper!

Aab which i care at least as much for as Newcastle will hopefully be up for the challenge! City have been a lucky to advance in the cup on the behalf of 2 other Danish teams: FCK and FCM....especially against FCM they were lucky! Last night City fielded probably the best side they could.....and i see them as strong contenders to the cup title since the seem to care about the tournament! But it would be truly amazing if Aab could get through! remember we just slammed Deportivo 6-1 over 2 matchees

looked good against everton! believe he can get even better!

to win the second ball

because duff is better

He really is. Bendtner is s***. Though I fear you've heard this before. Bendtner isn´t s...! he is only 20 years old! I would love him here to partner Martins! only thing you can blame him for is his immature and selfish attitude, i reckon!

The answer: take Ashley Cole out, he gets nee assists, and get Maynor Figueroa in. Been excellent all season, Wigan get buckets of clean sheets and he gets lots of assists. hth Don't want to waste a transfer though! Going to be the optimist and pick Bassong. i like your optimism, laddie! we will at least get a draw!

guthrie, barton and nolan is the only 3 that should be considered for the central midfield! ....What a shame smith didn´t left for everton before the start of the season.....think KK wanted to keep him ...also a shame we didn´t sell geremi this window.......i don´t believe they will play any important part in our survival this season anyway! ...what we could have was to save a lot of money, thinking of their wages
