Decky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Would it be worth keeping Martins on 65k a week? I honestly think he would be lethal in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 If he accepted a 50% paycut then maybe he too could get one of Europe's real top clubs after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 if I had to lean one way i'd predict that he wont be here come september 1st. But it's far from nailed on, and I actually think he'd be happy to stay So do I, where else would he get almost 70k a week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Martins is a crock of shit and if we can get any sort of fee for him we should get rid asap. Plenty of "fans" on this site used to say the same about Jenas and Dyer, luckily they weren't in charge of transfers otherwise the club would be £16million poorer today. Plenty of people wanted rid of Milner for £0-£4m too. Then have the cheek to have a dig at the boards (including Shepherd and the Halls era). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Michael Owen didn't get any decent service while he was here and so looked invisible the majority of the time as he was not capable of impacting a game in any other way other than scoring goals. Altogether made him look a much worse player. Martins didn't get any decent service while he was here and so for the majority of the time pressed the issue way too much and lacked confidence. Altogether made him look a much worse player. It's really that simple. If I was a team who could provide the service I would personally roll with Martins though. When the confidence and self belief is there he is a major threat in numerous ways. Pretty good summary there - Oba's biggest problem was trying too hard early in the match, getting frustrated then giving up. It was the way he sprinted to the bench after being dragged that bothered me most about him though. Surely a real professional is disappointed and drags his heels exiting the field...?

cubaricho Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Martins is better than Owen even if for the simple fact that Martins does not solely rely on other's service for his goals. Martins can create his own chances and make something happen. Owen is far from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 When Shearer was better than Bellamy ie up until 2003, he COULD make something happen out of nothing. Look at all those fantastic long range efforts and half chances taken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 There is a 0 percent of him being here next year in my opinion. I'm of the opinion he was a prett good player for us, but who cares, he's definitely gone.....probaly to the continent. Same with the likes of Jonas and Colo. All three players are saleable assets as they are all relatively young and fit and have some sort of resemblance to modern day athletes. Colo won't fetch the fee we paid but that's because as usual we over-paid. The problem areas for me are the players who don't look like they can last 90 mins of pub football or are too old. These players are on big contracts and have no football ability and legs made of jelly. I leave it to others to work out who they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I liked his interview, talking about how he won Also his (this isn't exactly what he said, just paraphrasing) "I though right, can't fuck this up, please don't fuck this Oba and I didn't fuck it up so I won".
