Wow, this whole situation is quite intriguing. What's your opinion though fellow supporters, is North being silly offering him so much?? Will we be right to make sure we secure the likes of Browny etc. for our future?
Like $1.5mill. Jeez. That's a lot. Do you think he actually likes the idea of coming to North as a club???
I still don't see him leaving though.
First off, I don't think we'll have a problem locking up our own to long terms deals if we bring Martin in. His contract would be heavily front loaded for the first year or two, giving us room to move after that. You also have to factor in players on decent coin likely to leave in the next couple of years (Waite, Swallow, possibly Goldy, Thomas, Thompson potentially). Bottom line, we should have no issues with that
The offer is a touch overpriced for mine, but to get a out and out superstar like Martin to leave, that's what it's going to take. Does he want to come? Thats the three million dollar question. Our offer is that far apart from Richmond's that it could go either way at this point, whereas say a month or so ago, it was a near certainty he'd recommit to Richmond given our offer wasn't that much different to theirs
I also see him staying as well, but we're far from out of this
