ujpest doza Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 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. He isn't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicsfingeredmong Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Too much supporter and press driven hype/obsession & player pressure associated with the no.9 jersey imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't good enough. Then sell him. Just don't humiliate him and then expect him to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't good enough. Then sell him. Just don't humiliate him and then expect him to play. Give over man. If he's professional enough he'll play whether he wears 9 or 19. And the only reason he won't wear 9 next season is if we sign a top-quality striker. So either way, we win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If I was considering taking Martins shirt, I'd plan ahead by making endless comparisons with Martins and Asprilla with news stories saying "Martins can be my Tino" and stuff like that, then hand Martins the number 11. Fuck Duff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're dealing with a human being, not a machine. In these particular circumstances, there's no way that taking away the No 9 shirt is anything but a public demotion.

Ronaldo Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 always makes me laugh when i'm reminded of Ferdinand asking for 99 and 69. It's just a number, and who out there deserves it or wants it more than Martins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 He shouldn't care, and we shouldn't care, what number he wears. And i don't think he would either; i genuinely think he loves playing for the club. But Newcastle's number 9s have typically scored goals, which is exactly what he's done since he's come here. He doesn't deserve to have it shifted. Also from a sentimental point of view, it's nice for us to have a 'different' number 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 He's definitely more Wyn Davies than Jackie Milburn, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
