24 years old, strong, fairly quick, record stands at a goal in every 3.
We could do alot worse.

Yes, good player. This season he does seem to have been missing more sitters than has happened in the past but that may be down to depression at playing in a dispirited Newcastle squad. TP will hope he is the ideal candidate for the Stoke Dogs home! ;D

Would be an amazing signing if true, and I actually heard this some time ago (his injury v us was rumoured to be because he was signing for us in the Summer).
I did mention it on here, but it was laughed away (and rightly so really). He is a quality player, he is African, is the right age (allegedly - is he really 24?) and his is good friends with a certain Abdoulaye Faye.
All things point to a promising chance. The good thing is that one of my best mates is a Toon season ticket holder and he says that Newcastle have 4 super players...Owen (when fit), Bassong, Martins and Beye who is his favourite cartoon player.
Martins also has a great song, centred around the controversary over his age (he was reported as both 21 and 28 when he signed for Newcastle);
Oba, Oba Fem
Oba, Oba Fem
Oba, Oba Fem
Oba Femi Martins
21, 28
21, 28
21, 28
Oba Femi Martins
;D
Go get him Sir Tony!

Wikipedia does contain this amazing entry for Martins.....
"Martins made his debut on 27 August, in the 2–0 defeat to Aston Villa, in which he was stretchered off with a cock injury. It turned out that Martins suffered a severe dead leg and internal bleeding. "
;D

If Ashton is the alternative to Beattie then Martins is possibly seen as the alternative to Fuller?

Martins would be an absolutely amazing signing if true. However, surely we would face competition.

I have to admit i'm not sure about Martins, however he's better than what we've currently got in reserve by a long way, but if Fuller and Beattie are picked in front he seems like he could be one to spit his dummy out, as he did at Newcastle when Owen and Viduka were picked in front of him.

If all this linking carries on we're going to look like Hull. Maybe someones put this out for a smokescreen for Ashton.
having said that I think if he can get his form back from a couple of years ago would be worth a punt. Weren't Arsenal after him a year or so back.

I agree but not having witnessed his birth with my own eyes I can only go on what his profile says.

Would love Martins, I can't see him going for 5 mil though when the likes of Kevin Doyle is rated at over 6 mil!

the only thing that is annoying is we are being linked with every single forward we all know that we won't sign. would be interesting as to who we really are signing
