James Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Say it is the summer, and we've secured safety, and Ashley lets Keegan chase a high profile striker. Will Keegan use the number nine shirt as one of his bargaining chips, and take Martins' shirt to give to this player, just like he did to Ferdinand all those years ago? And if he did, how do people reckon Martins will react? In my opinion, Martins will never be the type of player (type, not quality) that suits the shirt, and I would personally offer it. I also think though that Martins wouldn't take it as well as Ferdinand did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I dunno really. I don't think he would mind as long as he is in the first team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You over estimate the importance of the NUFC No9 shirt outside of the North East imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 As I seriously doubt that Martins knows all numbers Keegan would be fine... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Unless he is buying a geordie i don't think the shirt number will be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Seeing that taking away his number 9 would be a public statement that he's not good enough, I reckon it'd be a very bad idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Of all the issues, potential or actual, that face this club now and in the summer, this might be the most insignificant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Give him number 6, then when he does his celebration it'll look like a number 9 anyway. Gives him motivation to score more IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Les Ferdinand you mean ?? Well, three points there. 1) Keegan was somewhat making an exception for Shearer, as a Geordie hero, which he hoped would sugar the pill somewhat for Sir Les. 2) According to Keegan himself, Ferdinand still wasn't that happy. 3) The whole gesture was a statement - the first of many - that Shearer was a special case. As time went on, that special status he had within the club became more and more of a problem. So overall, not the best idea in hindsight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
