Oba Martins will not be going to Arsenal in the summer. First of all he loves Newcastle and the fans love him. Secondly i dont think Wenger will make a 15m bid when there are much better strikers around.
If you do sign Oba you will soon find out that he doesnt have a footballing brain. I have lost count how many times he picks the wrong option and his passing is poor. No one with poor passing is gonna be a target of Arsenal. However, Martins does qualities that will appeal to Wenger. The main two are his speed and shot power. I do think martins needs some proper coaching to get the most out of his talent. Since Keegan has been there and since we have been playing 4-3-3 he has been a better player. I personally love Martins. When he plays you can tell just how much it means for him to play for the club. He never stops trying and always does his best.
I cant see him going to Arsenal but if he does there will be many gutted Newcastle fans. We all love lil Oba! |
Let me destroy the above.
First off who's a better striker than him right that's available/
Doesn't have a footballing brain,that's a mighty strange comment.That man is pure footballing desire.
First of all he won't be played out of position like he is at Newcastle ,he is a pure front man make no mistake.Just look at the goals he's scored ,basically drogbaesque,he makes something from nothing.I can't remember when he even got an assist from that garbage Newcastle call a midfield.That's the role Wenger would use him,along side Adebayor or Van pirsie.
You say you personally love Martins ,but i doubt that very much ,because if that were the case ,were was the outrage when Owen couldn't buy a goal ,martins was top scorer and keegan kept him on the bench.
That was unforgiveable and Martins should leave based on that alone.I know that the majority of Newcastle fans love that player and so they should,but are they willing to put him on the filed ahead of Owen?Because he's a better player hands down.
There isn't a person on the planet but Oba himself that can convince me that the only reason Martins is playing is because he would leave the club in the Summer.And just imagine Owen get's injured again early in next season and martins is forced to pay for another team.Te very fact that Wenger eyed Martins in the past should tell you that there is nothing wrong with Martins Footballing brain. |
Destroy? 
You havnt watched many Newcastle games. I can tell. You should stick to NFL mate.
The reason he was on the bench for a few weeks is because he had a knee injury. I could name about 10 stikers that are available to a team like Arsenal that are better then him (want names?). As i said before he doesnt have a footballing brain (im not the only one on here that has that opinion). I see him play every week, i guess you dont. I dont just watch the highlights. In highlights of games you dont see the amount of times he gives the ball away. However, he is much better under keegan, and i cant see him leaving the club in the summer. If he does then we will have to replace him. Im sure we could find a much more clinical striker then Oba. But as you have pointed out (i think) he also offers the team alot with his workrate. Thats why he is loved, not because he scores all them goals.
I find it very funny how you dont think there is a problem with how Martins reads the game. Over the last 2 years i have watched him play more then you. I have also stated that im a big Oba fan, so why would i make something up like that?? Doesnt make sense.
Under Wenger there is no doubt that Oba could be an amazing player, but that wont happen straight away. I would be gutted if he left but your opinion of him is a lil bit high.
I think i know your problem mate. Your in love with Oba. Awwwwwww |
Here's a fact for you my friend .I watch entire
Newcastle games.Don't know if you read my other posts ,but i stated that
Newcastle for a long time was one of the teams i watched religiously along with
Portsmouth.I can say without any doubt that you do not watch more Premiership football than me.I have every game of the season in their entirety at my disposal from my satellite provider and the 40gig digital hard drive they provide.One more fact for you.The only NFL game i have watched since my 20 yrs on these shores was the last super bowl and that was in between watching real football.Now i will concede i am not physically at the
Newcastle games ,but that can be an advantage to a degree as i am not influenced by my surroundings and opinions and therefore have a more honest view of events so to speak.
Now back to the issue at hand.You talk about these ten players better than Oba currently available to
Arsenal yet you don't provide names.At least when i say something like that i back it up in the same passage with those facts.maybe you need time to provide such info,how 's 2 months for you?Because that's how long it will take before you realize that you are talking out of your *ss.
I don't know how anyone can question wengers interest in any player with his track record,you have to be out of your mind to question him in that area.Oba was the best striker on
Newcastle from he day he got there and his goal tally from the lack of service he get's is testament to that.In comparison you look at owen's performance for the majority of the season and he was garbage.He even had to fall into mid field in an attempt to deflect the attention from comparisons in the two players success rate.So i don't give two sh*ts about what you and your beer buddies think ,it means nothing to me.
I watched a game the other day and i didn't hear Owens name mentioned until the 70th minute of the game,i was flabbergasted.I couldn't believe that he had played the entire game nad a never even knew he was on the pitch until the 70th minute ,that is outrageous.That sounds like a player that should be starting behind N'zogbia not in front of,you can't justify that to me in any way whatsoever.
I was adamant that Diarra was the perfect 'replacement' for Flamini. Same type of player, great worth ethic, a force in the middle as a holding midfielder with a bit of vision of going forward when needed. We had a player that could slot in and take Fabregas' spot in-case he got injured (Hleb); but when Diarra left, we lost that player that could slot in and take Flamini's spot.
