We need 3 players minimum, a left back, creative midfielder and someone with pace on the left wing as permanent signings with a couple of loans maximum
He promised a lot but delivered very little. He was in a team that was devoid of confidence, that didn’t help him.
I would imagine Norwich will have the biggest say on his immediate future.
Would definitely be worth asking the question, I think he has a year left on his contract. As DBR says it’s down to Norwich and if they see him as part of their plans. If they do they will look at continuing his development, which I would imagine is above our league.
Well, that's the strongest statement yet from Norwich. Sounds like GM is aware of higher level clubs that are interested and perhaps in a position to pay a fee. Wouldn't surprise me if Rotherham and/or Wednesday are considering moves. I would be surprised if Martin would take a drop to League Two, even if we could muster the fee.
It's daft if we're not willing to spend a fee when we're likely to see a return on investment.
I despair at the fact we rule this kind of thing out because he’d cost a fee. This is a player we could make money on. Any risk is minimised by the fa t we already know him and know what he can do, because he played here on loan.
I think our league 2 status is the main stumbling block here if he’s had interest from clubs higher up

It's the easiest thing to say when you're not holding the pursestrings and you're not aware of the bigger picture. We may already have signed a player or two with more attacking and goalscoring potential than Martin, in Miller and Molyneux, for free. Who knows who else may be on the radar. We have no clue what the fee is or what his wage demands would be, or whether he'd be prepared to consider dropping to League Two. We already know there are other clubs paying an interest.Would you really want to make a spacial case for Martin? Don't we all agree we have other priorities first? How many special cases are you going to present to the board??We can only trust that GM and Copps have already considered all of those factors and to suggest otherwise is shortsighted really.

Im well aware that it’s easy to say this and that when you’re not holding the purse strings. Contrary to what you many be implying, it is possible to be both eternally grateful to (and supportive of) the owners, but frustrated at the insinuation we’d rule out bringing a top player back because he’d cost a fee. I’m allowed an opinion, and my opinion is that it appears short sighted. That doesn’t make me an ungrateful ****, because I’m not!
