Most likely enquired about him but Cardiff probably offer more wages. Not sure on Martin to be honest. Bit of a meh signing. Other way round for me. Technically, Martin is way in advance of Keiffer Moore imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Like a retirement home up top. Wells 30 Weimann 29 Fam nearly 28 Martin nearly 32 Must be the oldest set of strikers in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for a couple of years imo. I’ve had a look on the Derby forum and they really rate him even though he’s clearly in the Autumn of his career. He never had a lot of pace so no worries there but has huge experience,reads the game well , links up play well , a little ‘ gamesmanship ‘ and can teach our youngsters a thing or two ( should be good for Semenyo) . I like the sound of this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WirralRobin Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 12 minutes ago, bcfc01 said: Other way round for me. Technically, Martin is way in advance of Keiffer Moore imo. Yeah agreed on this. Moore is much more of a physical threat than Martin, especially aerially but from what I've seen over the years Martin is much better with the ball at his feet, better at linking up with the midfield and a better finisher. I can't see Holden's plan A ever being to swing crosses into the box for a big man so I think Martin may be the better fit for the attacking, fluid, 3-5-2 Holden looks set to have us play imo.

Stead was a nice chap whose attitude and personality made him popular with the fans but his goal scoring record over his 3 year City stay - 9, 6 & 5, really was pretty poor. If Martin is here for 3 seasons I'd hope he surpasses Stead's meagre 20 goal total by some margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Always freaked me out when he was playing against, in a "I wish he was playing for us" way. Happy with this if it comes off, I can see him being a Wilbraham or Sheringham type to bring others into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
