Sorry to be counter-pedantic but I said we could end the season with forwards at those ages. There will only be a week or two between the play off final and Wells turning 31 so pretty damn close. Chris Martin turns 32 in November so very much an elder statesman in our dressing room, which might be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells 30 Weimann 29 Fam nearly 28 Martin nearly 32 Must be the oldest set of strikers in the Championship. Given his age, Martin is an old Kodja. Our next signing will probably be Zimmerman from Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinny Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 He scored every 190 minutes last season. Competition, cover, for Fam. No transfer fee. Good signing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come much more proven than Wells and Martin in this division, Fam and Weimann to a lesser extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 If we are going to play 2 up top then we need backup/competition for Fammy. Good experience at this level and still has goals in him, not to mention service/assists to team mates so imagine Wells/Weimann would thrive off him.

Alessandro Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 After Holden's appointment and looking at the accounts, I think a prudent summer in the transfer market of small fees and unattached players, was to be expected (that may change if NE and FD leave for big fees). With that in mind.... Williams is a cracking deal, but partly due to Wigan's financial situation. Delighted with him though, if he can stay fit. Chris Martin, as free signings go, is a very solid one. He will add to the squad nicely. If he is announced in the home kit, it might just be a timing thing, but that would suggest not a huge amount more 'big' business. I'd imagine a few more in (CB and RB), but loans, alluded to in the comments about waiting for other teams to do their business first before starting the transfer chains.

WirralRobin Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 It's Martin's ability to create for others and link up with his strike partner/ the midfield that excites me about his signing just as much as his goals. A really good compilation showcasing this here....... 80 goals and 32 assists in 7 championship seasons is no mean feat. 11 goals and 6 assists in 25 league starts last season shows he's still got it too. Really excited about this one. He could be great for getting best out of the rest of the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be the most prolific striker around but there's so much more to his game than just sticking the ball in the net. His first touch, his ability to link the play through his passing skills could be invaluable. He may not quite be a Frank Worthington (one of the most skilful centre forwards I ever saw) but he's pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercidered Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 It's a bit of a meh for me. The only saving grace for me would be if he is in addition to what we already have rather than a direct / indirect replacement for one of our likely first 11. If he is additional then I can see the sense in signing him but I won't be doing cartwheels down to the Packet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
