Martins more likely?

Post by RaM »

Does anyone else think the signing of Martins looks more likely with Newcastle looking like they will sign Alan Smith?

Or am I just delusional?

Didn't Henry say he would finish his career with us?

Didn't Ljungberg say he would never play for another English side?

They were both on skysports.

Not saying its definite, but I'm just saying its a possibility.

Apparantly we are in for an exciting week in the transfer market, as was brought to light by rebel gooner on another thread.

Is a possibility but i'd still rather get Drenthe or Quaresma (am i repeating this enough to outweigh 1886's Matt Taylor offering?)

Chopper I am totally with you my son. Anyway, hard as it is to believe, I'd rather we sign Owen than martins - I have this thing that I always question the reported ages of those nigerian players and sure as jaysus we would get stuck with a player that is 10 years older than his passport says and is only fit for a retirement home.

I have issues I know :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hope you look forward to my copy and paste tomorrow then!

Owen would not be a bad buy (if fit) but Belfast is teasing me on another thread with Quaresma AND Huntelaar nowthat would be a double signing!

Do you really want me to get excited about a centre forward Newcastle are happy to release?

I want you to get excited about a winger Porto don't want to release or failing that a winger Feyenoord don't want to release!

Quaresma looks like to much of a glory player he might rock the boat if signed i dunno about Martins he scored some crackers last year but i dont think he'd fit in

Altho there's little doubt that Owen could do the biz for us, his buy-out is near 10M, his annual wages the guts of 5M, and in an injury ravaged career, he is more injury prone than ever - could not see AW taking a risk on him seein as he takes a players physiology so seriously that not only does he research the number of injuries he has had but also how long it took him to recover, proving whether or not he is a quick healer!
