Parky Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I would have had Anelka and have said this on here before and although it is early days for Martins, I am interested after todays game on the general feeling regarding the two while it is fresh in the mind. Ps I have no axe to grind concerning Martins, but don't understand why we didn't follow up on Anelka especailly after all the media noises he was making in the summer.

Cajun Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Im happy enough with Martins, he is showing plenty of promise and is still young. I wanted Anelka in the summer but im happy enough with Obafemi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smoggeordie Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 It's fucking pathetic that people still start threads about Bellamy. Get over it. We have many more problems that a knob heed that left over a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest G Mac Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not blowing smoke up my own arse, but I said we should have gone for Anelka in the summer. Scandalous that he went to Bolton. I like the idea of having a striker that's fast as fuck, but not if they don't have the brains and abilty to back it up. Anelka is no slouch either, but he has that extra game intelligence which is so important in tight games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmac This is the thing with him, he has quietly developed into an all round forward who will also get his share of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Anelka for this team. He was absolutely desperate to sign for us, looked clear to me that he delayed any moves till we had completed our striker search and signed Martins - if we had signed him we would have been that one "big" club that salvaged his shipwrecked career, the type of club hes been desperate to sign for ever since his Pool loan spell. And im certain hed have repaid us if we had. Martins however is the better forward, certainly from the strength of his CL performances for Inter, hes a bigger goal threat - but hes far more reliant on being in a good, functional team than Anelka is. His game is all about finishing moves off, whereas Anelka has far more variety to his game. The main pull for Anelka all along for me, apart from the likelihood that wed have been his last chance to play at a Premiership club that demands/expects European football, has been his ability to play on the flanks as well as a the main central forward. As soon as Owen returns, weve got a problem, because unless ive been watching a different Martins, he plays in the exact same central goal-poaching position as Owen, and itll be a big risk asking him, or even Owen, to play a different role. Weve missed the boat though, theres more fish in the sea but like Owen, Kuyt and Martins, I bet you none of them will be one tenth as desperate to play for us as Anelka clearly was.

Parky Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Nice post and I think truthful in its insight into the Anelka mind. Although as a footballer I'll say Martins can't and never will hold a candle to Anelka. There I've said it. Not saying he won't score 15-18 goals for us mind.

Yorkie Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Poll spoilt by the Bellamy option. Martins. I never wanted Anelka. Career: 99 goals in 320 appearances + he's an asshole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
