The fact that Martin has been available as a non quota player for 2 months or so and nobody else has approached to sign him, speaks volumes......very poor signing, should of stuck with what we have rather than waste cap space.

Gentle was quoted as saying, "Each player would be allocated a specific position,no more utility"

Where's that leave Turner now???

I think thats a fair assessment Staffs. Martin's not as bad as is being said, he probably just hasn't got any more than a year in his legs (unless he surprises us all.) He's always taken the eye whenever i've seen him, and although Yeamo is an international he doesn't have Martins experience yet and I'm sure part his remit is also to help Turner, Crooks et al.

Lets not forget also that he won't be a big earner and that has got to leave more £££s in the pot for a bigger signing(s)

Hopefully figthing for the right centre position.

Leeds too

Yeah and the Leeds fans were horrified.

Eh? Yeaman has almost 10 years experience, how much does he need? How can Martin help Crooks and Turner? He's hardly been a worldbeater. They will only improve with gametime and that is likely to be reduced with Martin signing.

We don't need money in the pot we needed a quality centre and if there was no options then we should have stuck with what we had and spent more money on a quality forward.

full agree there paul

cant see the thinking towards martin at all i would rather of had a young talent like kear coming in not an old nobody like martin.

Is the right answer.

I appreciate that people are trying to find the positives here, but I honestly can't think of a single reason why we wouldn't have been better off signing nobody and going with what we already have. Martin brings nothing to the party IMO.

You dont need to be a worldbeater to be a good tutor. Martin has played on the biggest stage in the world and has about 15 years experience to call on.

does this mean that jamie lyon and michael jennings might not be coming.?
