Works on both levels as he could say it reminds him of first club Norwich, as well as his breakthrough hit.

Just read 2 in 32 games for Hull 2018/19, ouch.

Can’t see it happening either

But I am glad we’ve now moved on from wingers on these rumour threads

Knows where the net is at this level. Was Derby's joint top scorer last season though so I'd imagine he's had other Champ offers.

He’s a local lad to me, used to play against him in youth leagues (I was a GK so hated playing against him), and been told by a closer than close family friend.

Derby couldn’t agree a deal to keep him so I don’t see how he’s ending up here

According to some on here we are going to be challenging for the play-offs, so anything is possible really.

Surely he must be on about 20 grand at Derby?

Chris Martin: Derby County return open to departing striker

Derby County tell out-of-contract striker Chris Martin the "door is open" for a return, despite him failing to agree a new deal.

He was on circa £20k p/w yes.

I'm sure Derby tried to reduce it, hence failing to agree terms but interestingly they've said they're "keeping the door open for him" which reads like "Go & see if you can get more money elsewhere, if not our offer stands".

With that in mind he's obviously still expecting a decent wage per week.

Martin leads the forward line very well strong with excellent hold up play bringing others in etc proven championship experience.

Might be length of the deal/playing time thats the issue rather than basic wage. Thought he did okay when he came back from his loan spell this year

His last 3 or 4 seasons have been unspectacular to say the least... And I also doubt we could afford his massively over inflated wage packet

Absolutely not!! I don’t want to get battered with abuse when he signs for someone else. But someone very close to him has told me he’s going to Coventry. If it’s true then you can all hail at my insider info. If it’s not true then I’ve played the “dont shoot the messenger” card and I’m off the hook

His wages I doubt anyone knows he might of been offered just a year without any guarantees on playing time etc so he turns it down knowing he can probably move on with a longer contract & play more football

One site says he's on 562000 a year, that's over 10800 a week, which sounds more realistic than 20k but still a stretch for us surely


However just seen several articles from around 2017 that stated he was on 30,000

If he’s offered a year at Derby & we offer 2 with similar money etc,O’Hare must be on 8k a week here

I would fancy Martin over Godden up front in the system we play in the championship,although Godden & Martin could be a good partnership

Always hated him when he’s played against us. Think it was when he was with Norwich, kept winning fouls for going down in dangerous positions the little prick!


I’d give him a two year deal

We apparently have one of if not the lowest budgets and Derby do pay big bucks but there are issues there apparent problems like Sheffield Wednesday and a possible wage cap to boot so I reckon they will be tightening the old belt a bit.
Do they still have Wayne Rooney on their books bet he ain’t on just £20k a week.

He might have been on good money but he is currently on no money and so will lots of other former big earners
