ToonTastic Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can't say I understand why people are having a hissy over the prospect of Martins/Bent swap deal. He's hardly a goal machine. But he's not Darren Bent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thing is, if you ask me, that deal would almost make sense for both sides. You don't have enough decent fit strikers, nor any that are ever able to play effectively on their own. Spurs are pissed off with Bent because he can't play with anyone. Playing Bent up front for you with Gutierrez/Duff on the wings would be more effective than with say Martins alone down the centre. Martins and Bent are a similar calibre of player, except Martins has a lot more potential and could arguably be world class (but probably won't) whilst Bent is at what could be construed as his peak. It would probably make more sense as a loan deal as opposed to a perma-swap, but I can see the logic there, which of course doesn't factor in the apparent 'cult hero' status that Martins has with you guys.

Cajun Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The way this club is run is a joke. Exchange the only player that we have who actually makes the opposition worry about us. For fuck sake man. Do you honestly believe everything? Deadline day in the transfer window is like chinese whispers, especially where SSN are concerned. The guy's are at the training ground working on deals now. You are wasting the skin on your fingers mate, the mongs go into overdrive on the last day of the transfer window.

KaKa Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I love how certain people are havign a go for trying to swap for Bent because it is a negative rumour, but have refused to believe any of the links to any decent players that are more positive rumours. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 As much as it pains me to say it, I actually wouldn't have minded that swap. Oba's almost as much of a permacrock as Owen is. He's our last remaining player with any pace. It makes sense to get rid as our other players could never stay with him if they were trying one-twoes.

Kimbo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can't say I understand why people are having a hissy over the prospect of Martins/Bent swap deal. He's hardly a goal machine. He is proven to our most important attacking player though. Our record without him is abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can't say I understand why people are having a hissy over the prospect of Martins/Bent swap deal. He's hardly a goal machine. But he is by far our most dangerous player... no debate. He's hugely inconsistant, gets injured frequently and hasn't got a good footballing brain. His pace makes him dangerous but he doesn't even use that properly most of the time. Bent is a much better striker. Put him one on one with a 'keeper and he'll find the net, put Martins on that same position and he'll find row J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
