Dear oh dear, no thank you. Beat himself far too often while he was with Saints. Getting a little long in the tooth for my liking, aswell.
Martin has played a few times when Seaborne was fit (Yeovil in March) and Jaidi was fit (End of August/Beginning of September 2010 before he got injured for 2months) not knocking you by the way!
Would love this Collins guy as LCB on loan or any other Stoke / Prem league player. Has it all gone quiet with this one ? Can see this happening as the most likely as Pullis is keen to offload.
I also think Collins would be a good signing to end the transfer window with. Stoke are looking to off load him as Stoke have more than share of good centre backs and considering they paid nearly 3 million for him 2 or 3 years ago he can't be half bad.
saw him a few times at Ipswich (local) and he is a good player. Big and strong, not too slow and looks a fairly reasonable player on the ball
