afar Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Not sure if I'm that excited tbh. If this is a prelude to the club being sold then fine but to me is shows a sign that Ashley's taking the opportunity to make the club sale more attrative, and if he's got a ceiling price for when selling a player does not devalue the club's price, then that does not go well for the rest of the transfer window as we still have no replacements in. The money for the sale will go into the club and not directly into Ashley's pocket, of course but an extra income 9mill over however many years will help balance the books a little so too will the loss of Martins's salary from our wage bill. At this moment in time I'm even more worried than I was before, as if this is true, and I guess we are still waiting for confirmation, it signals that despite the talk of transfer embargos, every player has his price. This won't be lost on the rest of the squad and their agents, who I'm sure will push on with their efforts to get a move, leaving us with an already paper thin squad even thinner. Don't assume he's selling Martins because the club sale is just around the corner, and that 9million will really help us build the squad again, he's just looking out for himself as he always has. Need I remind everyone how happy we were with 12 million for Milner only to find the money for that deal not being used in a manner we hoped. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I know, I'm sick of hearing negative crap all the time too, but if there's one thing we can learn this close season is never expect Ashley to do anything that makes sense and he really does not give a shit about the club at all.

Karjala Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Pleased with £9m, overall thought he was a let down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dennis Carter Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 If the people in charge had any sense and stayed away and listened on BBC Newcastle rather than turning up to the game then they'd spend the Martins money on Fabian Delph who I hear from Mick Lowes cannot do wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 9m for a player who did fuck all bar give the linesman a reason to use his flag? superb. Even if he wasnt being sold by the ashley regime he'd of had to go with the next one so it's no biggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm happy with that, I'd have snapped their hands off at half that. He might have been our best striker, but it says more about the quality of our other strikers than it does about the quality of Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Pleased with £9m, overall thought he was a let down. And, of course, it's £9 million that our manager can invest in the squad....... At least it is a sign that there is someone making a decision - Oba had to go, no way can a Championship club keep a player worth anything like that amount and earning £65k (or whatever) a week.

TRon Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The fee is about right for him. No matter his faults, he's still a 15 goal striker who has pace, can create his own goals, proven in the Premiership and in Serie A, and is only 24. Anything less would be a bit of a pisstake imo. A good analysis of the deal. While others are parping hilariously over his faults and have done so for a couple of seasons, no one else in our awful squad will fetch anything like this fee.

1878 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 £9m is decent business. You bought him for £10m right? Since then he's flattered to deceive imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 so, who will get the #9 shirt? Carroll would be my favourite who is here atm to get it. Would really galvanise him before the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's suffered from playing in front of a shite midfield same as Owen has. He's not top class but he'll be a dangerous forward for a mid level team.

You're right mostly and as I said above he had to go - but it's decent business for who? We are in a different place to virtually every other club right now. Rejoicing over transfer fees went out the window in the aftermath of the Milner / Villa deal tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
