We currently have three first team centre backs. One is short term injured and one won't be match fit until September. If we shell out £2m+ for Martin then Dunk is gone (Martin is certainly not going to be on the bench for that money) and we STILL need another back-up CB

for anyone interested, Martin and Murray share the same agent.....

So I'd heard. They'll have to pay a bit more than for the last two :lolol:

Pick a Norwich player you would like to sign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_City_F.C.#First-team_squad

I'd pick Howson, Tettey and most of all Brady.

Howson is absolute class player..........................The Russell Martin thing I would find surprising. CH rarely played him as a centre half and something he once said would suggest that would surprise me if he ever re-signed him

Marshy · Jul 16, 2016

We will only go for him if we sell Dunk Shirley ?

Russell Martin is a colossus in this division. He would be a superb signing if true.

You obviously don't watch him playing for Scotland. He's a liability............I also watched him a lot when Chris was at Norwich. I would have to disagree

I said colossus in THIS division. I've seen him and always been impressed, positionally solid, strong as an ox, a vocal leader, maybe lacks a yard of pace but that's why we may be able to sign him.

Gets caught out of position. gets outjumped at corners.........not bad at right back but hopeless at centre half

Are you judging him on his appearances for Scotland and for a crap Premier League team?

Garry Nelson's Left Foot · Jul 16, 2016

How much would he cost(roughly)?

YES.............................I can only judge what I see and anyhow. Good defenders stick out in bad defensive teams. Russell Martin does not.

All I am doing is giving my opinion on him based on what I have seen. Others on here seem to like him. Their opinions are just as valid as mine are. All I am saying is. because I have watched him for Scotland and Norwich a lot, I have probably seen more of him

Seems like this one is happening. Work with members of his family and had brief chat this morning and they confirmed talks are advanced and expected him to sign possibly today. Was surprised since last I heard from them he was off to Celtic. During the brief chat (bloody work got in way) they said they thought Dunk would go but whether that was opinion or inside knowledge I don't know at this point.

Would be a very steady signing. Bags of experience. So a big yes from me. Also scores goals.

You know what so am I. I would guess a significant cost upgrade on Greer but significant in terms of ability?? I guess he can play right back but again Rosenior was/is cover there. So whilst we needed another CB I am surprised it maybe him.

The Kid Frankie · Jul 16, 2016

Isn't he captain at Norwich? Would be surprised if they sold their captain to a rival. Would love it to go through though.

I am surprised for a different reason

spence · Jul 16, 2016

Seriously don't believe it

I am possibly aware of that reason as well which was another thing that made me think it was rubbish when I read it this morning. Family seem sure but I will wait until I see him holding the shirt until I am.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
