DiCanio has the same opinion of chrissy I do. You seem sure that theres something there. Theres that insinuation of quality, you can sort of feel it, but it can't be brought out. If we could tap what chris Martin has inside of him, he'd be first team for Norwich. So frustrating, what next for him I wonder?
What a tosser, he just might have made it if he had the right attitude. I would have given my right arm (metaphorically speaking), to play for Norwich. He's throwing his career away, the sooner we get rid the better
Strange one this. I thought Martin was told last week that he had to leave Swindon because there was a problem with the owner of the Club, Swindon were unable to buy sell or loan players, and Di Canio was said to be 'considering his position' as manager. I wondered then what Chris might decide to do, as he was clearly not in Hughton's plans. Maybe he and his agent were on the look out for another club, the situation changed at Swindon, he was offered a deal there, but already had other possibilities. Or you could all be right and he's a tosser.
To be quite honest, who cares? As KIO says, a career we would have murdered for is being wasted. I remember the two goals against ColU thought the boy had it in spades. I can't be doing with fools like him.
I think it's all been said already really. Someone with obvious talent but no work ethic at all. We won't renew his contract, and if this championship club never materialises, he'll get increasingly unfit in our reserves again. By September he might not be able to call himself a pro footballer any longer, because very few clubs are going to be interested in him, and his wages.
Shame - a lot of talent wasted on a "laddish" attitude. C'mon Chrissy - there's still time to pull yourself together and enjoy a successful career.
No, in my opinion, there isn't time. There's a balance between arrogance and talent. Every good sportsman needs both. But when the arrogance outweighs the talent, they're lost. He's Bentley at a lower level.
as others have said, i would not be surprised in in two years he is no longer a professional footballer. his potential is large, his application small. what a waste.
If he had used his 2 goals against ColU as a platform to move on to bigger and better things, he could have had a good career - but he chose not to and I always thought he seemed sluggish for a striker.
The fall and...fall of Chris Martin in Di Canio's own words - and in the circumstances, who could blame him? He had even offered to find the money from his own pocket to prolong the loan, yet this is how CM repays him http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/....html?utm_source=TweetDeck&utm_medium=twitter
