Decky Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 We wont sell him, if we do then we will have to replace him, why even bother trying to replace him when we can just not sell him? Its not like he wants to go anywhere. Not gunner happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaetihS Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 if we sell him, will just rubber stamp that we are no longer a big club. Then again, if Martins wants to leave, who can blame him? Who can reject Arsenal espeacially our current dire state of our club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 “Arsenal is a big club that everyone wants to play for. I am thrilled and it will be nice to play for such a team. “But, now that I am a Newcastle player, there is nothing much to say. If it is true, both clubs would have to reach an agreement. “Is Arsenal a good club? Yes. Would I love to play there? Probably, if Newcastle are ready to listen to them. But if Newcastle says no then it’ll be no.” “Because I still have a contract, I expect the club to speak to me when I get back. I am not saying I want to go but, if anything happens, that’s football.” So Martins is asked obvious, leading questions which he answers with 'Yes but only if Newcastle wanted to sell me'. Fair answers from Martins. Give it a rest 'The Sun'. How likely are we to sell Martins when we haven't even got Owen tied to a new contract yet? Arsenal can have Smith and Ameobi instead. Two for the price of one Martins. Bargain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Let's see those same quotes, switch a few words, and I bet the reaction wouldn't be as positive in the player's favour...and they aren't too dissimilar to what we've seen either when the rumours first started... "Real Madrid is a big club that everyone wants to play for. I am thrilled and it will be nice to play for such a team. “But, now that I am a Manchester United player, there is nothing much to say. If it is true, both clubs would have to reach an agreement. “Is Real Madrid a good club? Yes. Would I love to play there? Probably, if Manchester United are ready to listen to them. But if Manchester United says no then it’ll be no.” “Because I still have a contract, I expect the club to speak to me when I get back.

Dave Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Someone pointed out last night the fact the article says Arsenal are haggling over the 15m fee before going on to say there's a 13m release clause. Fucking clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jawesome Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 haha amazing. TBF I'd take 13 million for him, even though we have to, if you know what I mean. Replace him with some unknown Brazilian kid who's just as fast, but actually has a brain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It would be hard to turn down 13 million for Martins, I admit. But I don't know that anyone of similar quality is available right now. I would prefer him to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Is it since Martins changed his agent to the same company that deals with Rio Ferdinand etc from the Italian guys that all this Arsenal talk in the Sun appeared? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 If he wants to go to Arsenal so be it, you cant blame the lad for wanting to trade up. Arsenal are having rough summer with there players looking to go to clubs that are meant/are on the next level up with Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky & Adebayor either gone, going, or in two minds about staying.
