EthiGeordie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The best player at the club. I said it all along may be many of you don't agree with this but he is top talent and he just turned 24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 He's f***ing unstoppable when on form. Him, Owen and Xisco as a front 3 would absolutely rocket us up that table Did you see Xisco in you dreams? I just can not imagin people make stuff up just with names. It is time to appreciate Amobe he have the short now and lets be real.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think Jonas is more important for Martins' game, he thrives when there is another pacy player creating space for him. they looked excellent against man utd opening day of the season and dovetailed really well again today. This is true, he always linked up well with Dyer too when he was here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Next game should be a front 3 of Martins-Ameobi-Owen. With a midfield of Duff, Barton, Jonas. Oooh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Fell on his arse was funny just happy he did not injure himself, he was fantastic last night but still room for improvement, needs to be a bit more mobile antisipate more but fkn hell he caused them all sorts of problems.

merlin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The best player at the club. I said it all along may be many of you don't agree with this but he is top talent and he just turned 24. He played well tonight and scored the goals - but 'best player at the club' he definitely ISN'T. When he has scored 20 goals a season for at least 2 seasons(provided he has been fit) THEN you can start making those sort of claims ; he isn't even the best STRIKER at the club Owen is, and has the International goals to go with it. At 24, he should be almost the finished article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Not sure what's happening to me, but Martins (and Butt) are winning me over time and time again this season after being two players I never really liked (well, with Oba, just not to the extent that most on here seem to.) Obviously he's still got his faults, but he's still here and he's still scoring good goals, and that's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really give a shit if he's the fiinished article or not, he just sunk Villa with his 3rd goal in two games so those of us who were making his case are vindicated. At least more so than those who were comparing him to Franz Carr a few pages back. BTW that doesn't mean he's a world class striker all of a sudden, just one of the best we've got and thank fuck he's here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'd like to see him learn a thing or two from the Michael Owen of old. Hanging on the last defender and timing his runs perfectly. It's not an easy thing to do or teach though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an easy thing to do or teach though. I'd like to see Owen learn a thing or two from Martins. Being able to shoot with both feet and actually shooting from outside the box once in a while. They are both different players. It's something we have to accept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Its impossible to pick a position for him, because in each of the forward roles he has his weakness, i dont think he;s great at running onto the ball, i dont think he enjoys having the with his back facing the goal and i dont think his distribution and decision making is consistent enough. However Id say that id like to see him play the Owen role last season, in the hole where theres space and time to turn becasue its a difficult area to mark. I know we'd get some massive inonsistency out of him be it wild shots or innaccurate passes but i think he'd have the ability to do some good things during the game which could lead to oppurtunities. With Oba undroppable at the moment and Shola putting in a good shift by all accounts who makes way for Owen? I cant see Kinnear going with 3 up front and i cant see Owen being kept on the bench.

Maybe he'll drop Butt, and play Owen just off the front two with Barton dropping a bit deeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant journalism as ever. Magath isn't the manager any more, but has taken over at Schalke + Wolfsburg are said to want offer only 7m Euro, not pound (though the difference isn't that much anymore). Martins would only be a backup player with them having already Grafite (28 League goals in 25 matches) and Dzeko (26 goals in 32 league games) ,unless latter is sold to Milan or another top club which doesn't look likely at the moment.
