I quite like Coldplay TBH. Wass reckon, sit outside the Majors estate with coldplay blaring all night? Hating Coldplay is so popular now that the few people that still like them are suddenly really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly he's 5'10''??? Thought he was 6ft plus!!! I always thought he was taller until a while back someone said he was 5’10” and posted a pic of a Scotland team photo, and he was as tall as I thought. Wyscout says 5’10” too. 1 hour ago, JoeAman08 said: I have a feeling Fam and City aren’t getting closer with a deal. I know we are a bit light on the striker front if Fam stays but not light enough to spend 12-15k a week on another one even if free. Imo of course. Also he doesn’t really fit a press either so if we wanted more energy up top doesn’t make sense to me either I wonder that too. As for Martin, if we are gonna build attacks and possession in the final third, he is very good. You can knock a ball into him chin-down and it sticks. He’s very clever with his passing, and someone like Wells (or Weimann) would appreciate his vision and touch. Here’s Martin at his best: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 It seems weird that we could end the season with Weimann aged 29, then Martin 32 and Wells 31 as our forwards. Our philosophy seems to be changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our philosophy seems to be changing. If it means we have a bunch of players in their early 20s behind them in the midfield and at wing back, could be a nice balance.

Kingswoodactor Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Bit of conjecture here but we could potentially have this lot all starting: Moore (23), Nat Phillips (23), Sessegnon (20), Dasilva (22), Morrell (23), Williams (23), Massengo (19) Walsh (22), Eliasson (24). That’s 9 players 24 or under who you could say have a real chance of being in our best starting XI. You’d then add the like of Bentley, Kalas, Wells, Weimann, and Fam to that, which for me makes a really well balanced team. Don't see the issue of then adding a Brunt, Martin to add some experience and know how to the squad, where they can chip in to help out when required. As long as they don’t want stupid wages.

He wouldn’t be bought for his pace. Same way Wells wasn’t bought for his hold up play. Different strikers for different situations. Different drinks, different.. needs.

Robbored Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Like others I’d be more than happy if CM joined us. I remember Flint being asked who his most difficult opponent was and he reckoned it was Chris Martin............ Marin has earned a very decent living with moving clubs so frequently- a very decent signing on fee each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good recall RR....he backs in so well, if you try and pinch it round the side, he’ll roll you with his strength. Generally positive vibes on this thread too. Would rather Martin than Brunt if I had the choice (assumption that we dint know who might be leaving). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
