Dokko Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 If we could only keep one of these strikers next season, which one would it be, Martins or Owen? Owen has the class, but Martins has the youth, desire and speed for me. Its close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we might (the manager) have to make that decision in the summer, as Martins was only brought in to replace Owen while injured, no doubt NUFC have left themselves skint because of the move.

Guest Ridzuan Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I wish to have both.But if I have to choose one,I probably pick Owen,that if Sibierski signs for us permanently.Sibierski and Shearer has a lot in common,and during Owen's partnership with Shearer,they work very well and I expect the same too.I will judge Martins at the end of the season.

Dokko Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 how i see it: Owen: Experienced natural scorer good pace Injury prone expensive about to peak Martins: super pace tricky young inconsistant poor finishing not fully adapted to EPL Like i say, its close. But for me the youth of Martins, and the injury record of Owen make me favour Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theunis Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 All comes down to how mane games Owen takes to get some form because that is gonna make the difference. Just hope he gets some game time and does not get rushed back. But Rouder has good record nursing players back. Martins for me, he seels great atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Martins, if only because Owen isnt far off being as injury prone as they come. Doesnt matter how good Owen is, in my mind hell always be one collision, tackle, or outstretched boot away from picking up another injury, and therefore we can never build around him. Even if hes fit for 6 months and scoring plenty, therell always be the worry that in the next game hell do his hamstring, or his knee, or break a bone somewhere. The wages hes on is a big factor for me too. Even if released on a free transfer, we could still afford to roughly sign a 10mill striker on 50k per week purely from the savings we would make from his wages alone (100k per week, lets say hes paid 50 weeks per year, 5mill a season, thats 20 mill over 4 years). Add on a transfer fee, and it wouldnt be silly at all to get rid. Even though hes a class forward and we probably wouldnt be able to sign someone of his calibre, I think we'd do alot better with someone of Robbie Keane or Darren Bent's calibre, even though theres a relatively big gulf in class/ability.

Guest Phil K Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Does Owen still play football ? I thought he''d retired as theres not a world cup for 4 years. (He must have - at our expense) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Owen. We'll be very lucky if Martins is as good as him at 26. We'll be very lucky if Owen can run at 27. :winking: That's why, for me ... Oba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen has the class, but Martins has the youth, desire and speed for me. Its close. One misses 10% of games through injury, and the other 90% of games through injury. Tough choice ?

Yorkie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'd be devastated if either left tbh. And it all depends on Owen's form when he comes back from injury. If he comes back as good as he was, Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to why you started up on me in the first place and as to why you like to make up far fetched ridiculous speculation with no proof and ask stupid questions when its obvious we need both these players. I think perhaps you may realise that we do need both these players now that several people have mentioned this, but instead of admitting it, you try and change your tack and try and pick faults with other things like my 'attitude' instead. Really pathetic you squirming like this, just admit it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
