The Mighty Hog 336 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Even the bloke on 606 who regulalrly phones in to slag him is changing his mind. Although he back pedalled and said 20 league goals instead of 20 goals would prove that he's a £10 million player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34504 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 He's really starting to look the part now. I'm just dead pleased that we've got someone in who looks like he is (and will continue to be) a regular scorer in the Premiership. Assuming a partnership with Owen would work, there's tons of goals between those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1055 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Cant see why Oba cant go on and get another 5 goals in the prem without problem. Once we sort out the defence, and get all of our players back, i think we've got the makings of a good team once again All is rosy in the Roeder camp Great what a good result does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd bet 2 goals or more just to be on the safe side after last time, me and my old man had £20 each on him to get a hatrick against Levadia Tallinn only for Roeder to take him off after he scored 2 with 20 minutes still to go! I'd be gutted if that happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19826 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 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.

People need to get past the idea that anything other than gushing praise amounts to slagging someone off. He does say that "on his day he's awesome", but the other stuff he says is also a reasonable assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16683 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Last night I thought he did try v hard but was struggling to hold the ball up. This however didnt stop him from trying and well done to him for stepping up to score the pen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was to be expected after putting up the odds of him scoring a hattrick, wasn't it... (NB: I am pleasantly surprised so far, although thinking there is still a lot of room for improvement - something I wouldn't say about a player with the necessary talent by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
