    He's a good player, I never felt that his head dropped even when others were having howlers. He's going to be hard to replace, and I actually think he would suit Rowett as he adds physicality, and is pretty good at all the little knock downs. If I remember right, he played in a pair up front with Norwich before they were promoted, so doesn't have to be the lone ranger or tip of a 4 3 3.

    Real tough decision, not many players have his goal scoring record in this division, and he adds so much more to a team. But if Wolves / Fulham get into a bidding war and leave us with £10mil to reinvest, it could be a good sale. Just as long as we don't buy Butterfield / Johnson / Vydra / Anya / Olsen (insert our staring 11)...etc types.

    Sell, sell, sell. He is not what we need going forward..
    Yesterday's man. If Rowett wants to play a more pressing game then Martin will struggle. Impact sub at best.

    I would agree, anything over £7 million and his wages off the bill, would be good business. Nugent and Vydra could form a very useful partnership IMO.

    The way Fulham are going at the moment they look like play off favourites. Fantastic April, ironically except against us, and with Leeds in free fall Chris Martin might have food for thought. Their match against Wednesday now looks even more crucial but will Martin be eligible for the play offs?

    Kind of given up on Butterfield and not sure about Olsen but I'm still optimistic about the other three if we play to their strengths.
    If all our left backs are ever fit I'd make Olsen third choice behind Forsyth and Lowe but I'm not sure the former will ever achieve the level of fitness that is crucial to his game and Lowe seems injury prone for one so young.
