Obafemi Akinwunmi "Oba" Martins

[Forza ragazzi]

I told that Cruz and Recoba have signed new contracts. I think there si a rule which not allows to sell players if they have just signed new contracts, we need to wait at least one year.

No. This isn't correct. I think this is only the deal with very young players than has got their first professional contract or something.

Thanks now I will now about this rule I already told my opinion (post above)

 

[InterFCAustin]

So, it's good. We can now hoep that Martins will stay and someone from Cruz and recoba will leave :yeay:

no,we can hope that adriano piece of shit will leave ....not cruz...cruz want to be here.

 

[Mustafa]

no,we can hope that adriano piece of shit will leave ....not cruz...cruz want to be here.

I want Recoba to leave, not Cruz. Cruz scores lots of goals, while Recoba is Moratti's illegal son, so why he is still at Inter

 

[Luka]

Recoba won't leave. I don't know why do you waste your energy thinking that he might leave, when it is obvious he won't.

And why we can't play 4-3-3? We played it in the Juve game, the first time, we actually could play. I say there is 80% chance we'll play 4-3-3 this year, as we have players to do so.

I don't think so, I remember that when crespo was here first time he signed new contract and have been sold to Roman in the same summer

well i guess u know smthng better about posting in forums..technically we are all wasting energy talking here...so why wouldnt we wanna talk about recoba leaving? and besides...im amazed how obvious is to u that he wont leave...i'm not suggesting that he should leave...like i said i just wanna see the brazilian leave..that's all...and again..i may stil waste energy talking about this...like all of us...it's just an opinion...

Yeah. But he was already linked to Sampdoria and Torino, and nothing happen?

Instead Moratti said Chino signed new contract which basicaly means, he won't leave.

I'm saying that because we all know what Moratti feels about Recoba.

He is supposed to leave Inter every summer, for around 5 years now.

 

[Mustafa]

I'm saying that because we all know what Moratti feels about Recoba.

Don't you still understand that Recoba is his illegal son

But last 5 years we didn't have Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Crespo together, so he could probably leave.

 

[Luka]

Don't you still understand that Recoba is his illegal son

I said already, I wouldn't be suprised

But last 5 years we didn't have Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Crespo together, so he could probably leave.

That's true.

Although Recoba is not a player who is going to start from 1st minute every game. It is a player who will be our 4'th, 5th choice, and he is good to do that.

He is also a player who can make the difference if the match is not going so well.

I know my opinion can be subjective as Chino is my second favourite player after Il Capitano.

But I won't say I'm mad that Massimo is not going to let Recoba leave, I can tell you that much

 

[Mustafa]

Lukair, you as everybody here has your opinion. Sometimes we have something same sometimes diffirent

I want Mancini to play 4-3-3 formation, so all our strikers will get chance to play and we will not need to sell any of them. But mostly he will prefer 4-4-2 and then one of our strikers will leave for sure.

 

[Hasan]

Importantt thing is that Inter wins,433,442 or some else I don't care, just win something big with the best Inter team in last decade.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

There will probably be a rotation between mainly 4-4-2 and a sort of 4-3-3 this season based on a lot of factors. Players available and also who's the opposition. Five strikers is enough and I expect one to leave. Don't know who, but as long as it's not Adriano it's more or less the same thing for me.

It's probably right that Mancini will use 4-2-2 and 4-3-3. So, it looks that mostly one striker will leave. I think it will be Martins, because Inter have spent lots of money for new players and need to restore some money balance.

Martins packs his bags Monday 14 August, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obafemi Martins is eager to leave Inter after the club signed Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic last week.

The Nigerian striker had already expressed his desire to quit after his struggles last term and a departure now looks a certainty.

Owner Massimo Moratti seems keen on keeping the African though after recently denying rumours that he was set to be sold to Liverpool.

The oil-tycoon, however, is also aware that it will be difficult to convince Martins to stay with little prospect of being in the first team and many alluring offers coming from England and Spain.

Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder has reiterated his desire of having Martins at his disposal this season.

“It's not going to be easy to sign a player of Martins' quality, but I do like him and I don't mind saying that,” admitted Roeder.

“The club is close to signing two or three players in the next 10 days, we hope Martins will be one of them.”

Portsmouth are also ready to present an offer to Inter for the 22-year-old forward and English reports are suggesting that they have sent their officials to Italy to discuss the deal.

The Premiership club is allegedly willing to pay up to £9.5m to convince Martins to move to Fratton Park, but will have to also face competition from Valencia.

The Spanish side is ready to offer £8.5m plus a six-year contract and Coach Quique Sanchez Flores is eager to finalise his squad as soon as possible, thus suggesting that the next week may prove to be decisive for Martins.

looks like hes really going out

"Packs his bags"... I've never seen Martins saying he wants a transfer, lets wait until that happens shall we?

Yes it almost true. I also saw roumors on EuroSport, so it cannot be just roumors. Probably he will go to EPL.

This is very bad for Inter. We will lose young and prospective striker and keep Recoba and Cruz who will leave Inter after one year

 

[Mustafa]

Inter now needs to cover money spent on Vieira, Grosso and Ibrahimovic. Portsmouth offered around £9.5 million its around 15 million euro. I think Moratti will accept the offer, and this deal is almost 90% done

Valencia, Portsmouth and Newcastle are involved in a three-horse race to sign Obafemi Martins from Inter. The striker is almost certain to leave the Giuseppe Meazza after the arrivals of Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ambitious Portsmouth are ready to shell out 14m euros (£9.5m) for the Nigerian and hand him a contract worth 4m euros (£2.8m) per season.

However, Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder has publicly expressed his interest in the 22-year-old, who would provide the perfect cover while Michael Owen recovers from a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Martins' third option could be Valencia, and if the Spanish club meet Inter's valuation of the player they will be favourites to sign him with the possibility of Champions League football this season.

Valencia coach Quique Sanchez Flores has admitted: "We need to strengthen the team, especially in attack," and the pacy Martins would provide a dynamic alternative to Fernando Morientes and David Villa.

I think Martins will not chose Valencia, because it's better for him to be on Inter bench. Premiership probably looks his next destination

I think he will chose Newcastle because they play in UEFA Cup.
