lucky green trainers 0 Posted March 1, 2009 yeah yeah - we all know he''s on a season long loan - he''s fat with an equally sized ego - arrogant little turd,,,[;)]but having seen on itv champs programme this morning - a fitter, leaner, chest thumping, crowd saluting young martin cooly score with aplomb - i''d have him back here instead of curo like a shot,,,he saved us 2 seasons ago...just a thought - mind you --- ched evans or similar would be better - but thats way off the radar...but - if we do drop - then getting young spillane and martin back here would be good for city - they are battle hardened now and could do well for us next season - maybe roedy did us a favour there after all???

lucky green trainers 0 Posted March 1, 2009 oh well - obviously martin is a just a big pile of cr@p piled high on another even bigger pile of cr@p and always will be...couldn''t do worse than curo at the mo - and next season could be a reasonable player for us...[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted March 1, 2009 Even if we stay up, I feel both Spillane and Martin can have a big part in our next season.It''s a fact that Martin has bags of tallent, and knows where the goal is. He kinda reminds of Paul McVeigh in attitude, very, very good in his day when he put his mind to it, but can also be lazy and slow.Mr Martin, your future is in your hands [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he a better player now or is he shining because the standard of league two is''nt that great. Definitely, would have him back if ( sorry, when ) we are in league one. It would be a natural progressive step up, then it would be all down to his attitude and mentality as to whether he progresses further or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
? 20 Posted March 1, 2009 Anyone watch the Luton v Brighton game the other week? Martin was one of the best players on the pitch, played all across the forward line, worked hard and created a few good chances for himself.Bearing in mind that Brighton could well be playing us next season, it certainly looks promising for him. Fingers crossed he''s got his attitude in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some cases, one player can make a huge difference, and i''m sure he would be scoring goals. But, with little service to offer to him, I doubt we''d be much better off than we are now.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted March 1, 2009 trying not to be defeatist but relegation is looking likely, if it does happen then i think Spillane and Martin could be key, they''ve been superb in league2 by all accounts, as you can see by the performance of Posh, MK and Stockport, league1 isn''t that much of a jump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bringing back Jamie and hanging our hope on him was deluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted March 1, 2009 Yes definitely - Martin showed he has obvious quality when he burst onto the scene. Doubt he would have missed all those sitters that Cureton misses without fail every game...!I think Spillane and Martin will both be much better players for their season at Luton and thank God Roeder has gone as I''m sure he would have released them both at the end of the season. Think they will be important players nect season and they are players we actually own!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,606 Posted March 1, 2009 I''d take him back. And i''d start him ahead of Cureton. I''d start most people ahead of Cureton though. Why not start Daley? Can''t do any worse. Seriously, it''s nigh on impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But once again it took Gunn far too long to realise it.I''d put Chris Martin in ahead of Cureton as well but that ain''t saying much. Martin has got a bit of talent but too many City fans have over-hyped and overrated him. He''s got a bit of ability, no doubt, but people get carried away. Same with Spillane, only he hasn''t quite got the ability Martin has, people seem to think he''s something to get excited about. He''s nothing special.

[/quote]agree that spillers looked poor at centre back - (his preferred posi???) but in midfield he showed one or two glimpses of talent - such as vision, and time and space on the ball - which is usually the sign of a good footy player - and as i suggested at the time when he played under grant - he looked like he potentially had a good engine to boot,,,i don''t know where he''s been playing for luton - but at the very least the boy will have some good experience under his belt,,,and be mentally tougher and physically fitter...he has time to develop - and i look forward to checking on his progress when he returns...

GJP 79 Posted March 1, 2009 Can''t I''ve thought Spillane has got vision etc etc when I''ve seen him play. I mean the odd ball over the top and stuff but nothing too inspiring.Looks like a very ordinary defensive midfielder/central defender utility player to me, who would struggle to play regularly and play well at this level.Hopefully I''m wrong.
