Comments on: Mystery Club Bids For Oba Martins http://www.nufcblog.com/2009/07/05/mystery-club-bids-for-oba-martins/ News, Views and Comment On Newcastle United Football Club By Ed Harrison, A Proud Geordie And Lifelong Fan Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:38:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ian http://www.nufcblog.com/2009/07/05/mystery-club-bids-for-oba-martins/comment-page-1/#comment-351323 ian Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:30:50 +0000 http://www.nufcblog.com/?p=29469#comment-351323 I would imagine that there would be more offers if any premiership club seriously thought Newcastle would be stupid enough to sell him. We need him to get back up and take the pressure off buying a premiership striker for £8-10m next year that would be any good. Most of the other supporters would love us to sell him, then we would have no teeth at all, not one even half reasonable striker or a midfielder who is in danger of scoring.

YES!!! so if the give us €10m for Martins & €8m for Colocini, that would be very nice for us & it will save us around £140k a week in wages too :) Well according to the crap-loids, Lyon are the club who’ve placed a bid for his services after selling Karim Benzema’s to Real Madrid for €35m – http://www.newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=160055

Yes I agree he had a poor season but he has been carrying a groin injury all year and don't forget he lost his mother tragically last year. Still got a huge career in front of him, wish it was with us but can't see him playing in the championship. Good luck to him! Will always remember that goal at spurs!!!

Martins is a popular figure on Tyneside however IMO he has failed to deliver. 1) He appears to have lost a yard of pace. 2) Poor finisher (snatches at chances). 3) Does not read the game. 4) Is unable to form a strike partnership. 5) Totally unreliable. His wages will demand that he has to be sold. spiderpig,

However I would understand if the owners decided to steady the ship and reduce the wage bill. A bid of over £7m plus the associated reduction in wages would be difficult to turn down. Time will tell ... He would set the championship alight, and a front like of oba and big Andy Carrol would work well.
