Guest Patrokles Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Bellamy was one of those players who was worth playing even when he wasn't playing well because of his attitude / workrate. Copycat. I was ageeing with you About time someone did! Edited February 16, 2007 by Patrokles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1217 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) he reminds me of yakubu. on his day he's awesome. great shot, pace etc. but he's a bit hit, miss or maybe. you can't argue with his workrate but he ran around a lot last night to little effect. he still needs to hold the ball up better and play the easy pass more often. Do you ever post comments about him when he's had a good game? It seems you can't wait to criticise the lad and pick holes in his game. yes. i think that on his day he can be a great player, but he's frustrating to watch and there are areas of his game where he has lots of room for improvement. is he worth £10m? i'm not sure. you'd have to say yes when you compare him to luque and there are signs that he can be a quality player for us but i think he's going to follow in the line of newcastle forwards like ginola, robert and bellamy that can be brilliant one week, then disappointing the next. Don't agree with that at all. Ginola and Robert only blew hot and cold because of their poor attitudes. Bellamy wasn't anything like brilliant/rubbish. He always gave his best and very often made a difference. You always knew he would be a threat. Martins is more in the Bellamy camp but is currently inconsistent because he's young and adapting to a new league. Comparisons with Ginola and Robert are bewildering. not saying it's a lack of effort on martins part - you can't fault his workrate - but, like robert and bellamy, he can destroy a team one match then frustrate the next. good player on his day but frustrating. a £10m player should do it every week, or more often than not. so far, i'd give martins a 6 or a 7 out of ten, which is pretty good when you consdier his alleged age, the fact that it's his first season at a new club and country and some of the shite service he's had to deal with this season. :D Edited February 16, 2007 by robchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 As its been said many times before, Martins is crying out for a partner to play off of, and although they've not done too bad so far, its not Sibierski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Oba can be fans' hero Feb 17 2007 By Nick Purewal, The Evening Chronicle Goal machine Alan Shearer reckons Oba Martins can make the legend's No 9 shirt his own. Newcastle's favourite son hailed the Nigerian's "impressive" 13-goal return, then tipped the pace ace to nail down his old shirt by banging in goal after goal. United's all-time top-scorer believes the Martins, Michael Owen and Shola Ameobi striking trio will have rival Premiership managers drooling. Praising Martins' persistence after an inauspicious start, Shearer said the strike trio will put the fear of God into defences all over the country. And now Martins has settled into the Premiership's hustle and bustle, Shearer expects to see that trademark somersault with increasing regularity. Shearer said: "It's a very good return - whether anyone likes it or not, forwards are going to be judged on the goals they score and at the moment he's been able to do that. "He needed time to settle down coming from a different league and a different footballing culture. "Slowly but surely he's starting to show people what he can do, and hopefully there will be a lot more to come." Once the three strikers hit fitness and form, Shearer reckons the goals will rocket in around St James' Park - and other Premiership sides won't know what's hit them. Ameobi and Owen are both on the road to recovery, and for Glenn Roeder their return can't come quick enough. But in a season blighted by one crippling injury after another, Shearer said Roeder has worked his socks off without once moaning, and deserves the light now starting to glimmer at the end of the tunnel. Shearer said: "The Owen-Martins combination certainly has potential without a doubt, but don't forget Shola: he's had a serious injury too. "He'll come back into the fold, and when they have got everyone fit they will be a match for more than most. "They're all going to get goals, will complement each other well and hopefully can strike up a really good understanding together. "Plenty of sides will be jealous of that trio, that's for sure." At the same stage last season, Newcastle were worse off in the league, but a sudden burst of form propelled United to seventh spot and a UEFA Cup place. And Shearer hopes a repeat performance is on the cards for Roeder's troops as the business end of the campaign approaches. He said: "Glenn has done really well under the circumstances with all the injuries this season. "I think it was this time last year that we went on a great run that got us into the UEFA Cup, and Glenn will be looking to do exactly the same thing. "United had a great win against Liverpool, so if they keep that going you just never know. "Results like that can really have an effect on a side and get things moving. "With a little bit of luck, and a few more bodies back from injury, you never know what's going to happen. "Hopefully, they can finish in a high league position and get back into Europe."

Barney 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Over the next few weeks we can expect to have almost a full squad to choose from. Will the run of good form end once Roeder isn't forced into a starting 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I know Duff has been shite so far this season, but to be fair, the lad is quality. The runs he was making midweek were far more like the Duff that Blackburn, Chelsea and Irish fans know. If he keeps that sort of form up, we'll have a quality winger. If only he could teach Milner how to take on and beat his man. So many ttimes Milner would get the ball in advanced positions, only to turn around and play it back to Nobby.

bassplayerjj 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 This is what I have been predicting, Martins as the Right Forward of a 4-3-3. Worked brilliantly in my opinion. Ran at the defence, worked tireless, and when Viduka dropped off, was able to burst forward and latch on to Viduka's clever touches. What a fucking player, delighted he is with us.

Anal Oliver will be gutted if he does the business this season, and will still no doubt be insisting that we're selling him to raise money!
