Someone claiming to be a journalist on football rumours, is saying that Obafemi Martins is currently discussing terms with us. Normally I would just ignore it, but it happens that someone called me over the weekend to say they thought they'd just seen him in Hull city centre and did I know anything about it. Seems far too good to be true, so it's probably rubbish, but it's a quiet day so I thought I'd bung it up anyway.
does seem far too good to be true, but you never know, I am never surprised anymore I have to say. The only thing to bear in mind is that he is getting on a bit, if you have read his age on Wikipedia or other sources it's not exactly... Confirmed.
I know he played for Brum this year but wasnt there issues when he played for Inter ages ago that he had given a false age and passport didnt match all his other docs? how old is he really then?
How much must his wages be? I think he'd be a great signing but believe it must be nigh on impossible that this will actually happen.
He's somewhere between 26 and 36 and he's probably on somewhere between £30-40k a week. Brum had a deal lined up to keep him for £5m but following relegation they didn't exercise it. He's moved back to England on compassionate grounds, as he's just had a kid and his family didn't want to move to Russia, maybe there's a chance of a part funded loan for a year?
He is on 60k a week and Birmingham paid 30k of those last year, so maybe we could do the same He is my favorite player and I would buzz if we got him!
hahaha i agree it's probably 5-10k over are budget but he is a class player who would easily score 20 goals!
Awesome rumour but I can't see it happening at all. Would at least shut up the idiots on the HDM site who keep saying "blow your socks off".
No chance. Way too good a player for us. I've always rated him and if he is 36 you wouldn't know it. He still has pace and a great shot on him.
Well just been informed that Martins is a West Brom target, even though there **** he will chose them over us any day
His parent club have announced they want him back for next season. http://www.eagleenstyle.com/2011/03...emi-martins-back-in-russia-and-deny-kaka-bid/
It probably was, he had surgery in April for a broken leg and is not expected to be available to play until late August.
Anything to report on Darius Henderson? I have been abroad for a week and just noticed a rumour linking us with him
