It looks like Newcastle will have no problem selling Oba Martins, if Newcastle do get relegated this season, and are forced to sell a lot of their highly paid players.
Jose Mourinho – said to want Martins
Of course Newcastle signed Oba from Inter Milan three years ago for £10M, and in the People yesterday Jose Mourinho is said to want to bring back the Newcastle United striker to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, better known as the San Siro
Newcastle can still save themselves this season, but with every game that passes the players seem less and less up to the challenge, shame on them. But if do end up being relegated, we will need to unload quite a few of our highly paid players. If we stay up we will need to unload some of our highly paid players – because they’re not worth their wages. 😀
If we are relegated those would include Oba Martins, Owen, Viduka, Barton, Cacapa, Geremi, Coloccini, Gutierrez, Smith, Duff and maybe Jose Enrique.
That will save the club about £33M, from those 11 players on our wage bill of £74M, but of course we will need to replace those players to build up the squad.
Oba Martins, who is now 24, has scored 27 goals at Newcastle, and had spent four years at the San Siro, before joining Glenn Roeder at Newcastle, for £10M in 2006.
But the report suggests that Mourinho would look to take the Nigerian striker back for around £5M, but we should be able to get more than that, for the Nigerian striker. Of course, we also have to remember this is out of The People, so it could be a made up story.

Comment #41Barton’s tackle yesterday wa sawful!
It was always a RED CARD! The tackle was awful and absolutely not necessary!!!!
What a chance Barton had to do something back for NUFC and his fans, by helping them to stay in the EPL; But what has he done; he has thrown away another good chance to change his attitude.
He is a f*cking bastard, who I want as far as possible from a black ‘n white shirt.
I hope it was the last action he made in a NUFC shirt.

Comment #42Cox is a great finisher but doesn’t have the pace to make it in the prem so would be good when we go down.
We need a totally new midfield, it has no energy and zero creativity.

Comment #46Howay Man, I like your thinking. Unfortunately, I’m not too sure if we can score goals at the moment to get us clear of this dreadful relegation zone. Hopefully we can pick up some of those players after offloading of all of the sh!te

Comment #51MARTINS IS ABSALUTLEY AWFULL AND I WILL PERSONALLY DRIVE HIM TO MILAN IF IT MENT WE COULD GET RID OF HIM. people say he has pace. . . when was the last time he beat a player wit it, its his biggest asset and he doesnt use it.
finishing . . . . . is absalutley awfull he has propbly misses more 1 on 1s than scored, has no composure at all and allways tries to blast the ball which in his case means it hits row Z.
movement . . . . . . lacks movement, is very flat footed and never looks to run in behind instead allways comes deep wanting the ball to his feet back to goal, he should be more like bellamy and play on the defenders shoulder but never does.
overall he is awfull and VERY VERY ball greedy and not a team player he would rather shoot then pass

Spot on. Martins is a plonker. Fast he may be but he has no football brain. He has a hard hit or miss shot. And he has no skill…could not trap cement. Riubbish. I’ll drive him to Milan for 5 mil

And, Hull plays vs. Stoke next week, and if they grab a win, we are in championship..

Comment #70But, what I have seen in our games , I`m afraid that Fulham will beat us…I feel sorry for Shearer and all suporters, but with our present players (except Bassong, Beye, Enrique and Martins), we have worst squad in premier league. Only miracle can save us, but I think it`s too late…

I was actually being serious Doocey. There are several things you can do to get alot more people there. It’s part of my job to do that sort of thing, and it’s immediately apparent that there are several things missing from your site that need to be there if Toon fans are going to find you.
