NSG Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Tomorrows rags. Wish theyd fuck off tbh, he only said 2 days ago he'd sign a new deal and would stay for 6 or more years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Bullshit that, he wouldn't go for a small player imo, he's already got Tevez who can play that role, Anelka is more likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 It's on the back page on the Sun. Written by Shaun Custis who is apparently close to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Bad news- it actually makes sense manyoo need a striker and martins has a 13mil buy-out clause. hope it's just speculation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Can't see him leaving, just as he's got his family settled on Tyneside and he's currently in contract negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggybread Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 custis is big pals with allardyce, one day after season finished he said the first player allardyce woul buy would be barton, wouldnt be at all suprised if this has some truth in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonufc Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 It's in the sun. THE SUN! Very much doubt its true , for a number of reasons. While we're on the subject of Martins, is anyone else not worried that he hasn't figured out that he can probably just knock the ball quite far past a defender and run, instead of slowing the ball down to walking pace and using fancy footwork?

ChezGiven Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 He would be a stop-gap for them so he should see the sense in staying. Also like the fact that as NSG and brummie post it, no one asks for source. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Same fella wrote this a matter of days ago: OBAFEMI MARTINS has opened talks with Newcastle about a new long-term contract and told them: “I will stay here as long as you want me.” Toon hero Martins, two-goal hero on the opening day of the season in the 3-1 win at Bolton, is ready to sign a six-year deal with the club to show his commitment. The Nigerian star was bought for £10million from Inter last summer and still has four years of his present contract to run. But he wants to scotch any future transfer talk — after being linked with Arsenal and Chelsea — by sorting out new terms and removing the controversial £13m buy-out clause in his current agreement. Martins, 22, said: “I love it at Newcastle under Sam Allardyce. I admit I wasn’t totally happy last season and heard about Arsenal being interested. “It is nice when other teams want you but I only want to play for Newcastle now. I’m looking forward to renewing my contract with the club. “There are issues and problems with the present one which need sorting out. "We have started talking and I’ve told them how much I want to stay. They know I’m happy to be at Newcastle. “I will sign for five years, six years or for as long as they want me. “I never asked for the £13m buy-out to be put in my deal, it was my previous agent, so we’ll talk about taking that out. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m buying a house and Newcastle is a great city. I enjoy working with the manager and every day there is something new in training.” Martins’ advisor Chris Nathaniel said: “We have proposed some improvements to the contract and Newcastle are coming back to us with their ideas. "They know Oba will stay as long as they want him.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Bad news- it actually makes sense manyoo need a striker and martins has a 13mil buy-out clause. hope it's just speculation No, Man U need a goal poacher which Martins isn't.

KaKa Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I can't believe we could end up keeping Owen and losing Martins ... I would be distraught! If this happens we absolutely have to go for Anelka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
