Already like him. A real f***ing nuisance - first touch isn't all that, but his close control is excellent and he's big and strong enough to bully centre halves.

leroy 100% agree, think he will be top for us this year, see how pumped up he was when coming off for akpoo, top stuff my fave player so far this season.
i thought it was great that when he got subbed he wasnt mopping around he ran off shouting encouragement to his team mate
i reckon hes gunna be great this year
At last a striker that hustles and bustles and when he get's hold of the ball his close control is excellent whilst defenders bounce off him. Makes you laugh to think Andy Gray cost 1.5 mill to lose I mean link play, whilst others wanted Eastwood or Vine. 75 large ones and a decent wage has to be worth it. Whilst Vine would miss a bagful and eastwood would lose possesion to every minor defender.
Looks a good buy, although we need to improve the service into him - too much stuff just being punted in his general direction at the moment.
Martin is the one making the real difference - a player who plays centrally and is constantly looking to get on the ball and make things happen. Great enthusiasm and flair, looks a fantastic bit of busines, just hope he doesn't do so well Ipswich want him back.
Quality signing. A right bloody handful. The crowd have taken to him already. Chases everything down. Runs himself into the ground. Akpo came on, fresh legs should have been helping midfield out but was jogging. Abbot and martin are gonna be different gravy in this league.
He won everything in the air last night and doesn't give the ball away. How ppl can say he looked sluggish is a travesty. 100 times the player Sodje is.

and a young Kevin Davies
i mean when davies was young not that pawell is
i reckon hes gunna be great this year
His touch is brilliant reminds of a league one berbatov although he chases down everything. Play him alongside a fast striker and we'll be happy.
Worked hard tonight, held up play very well in places. Bit slow, but smart! Him & Martin could well be a hit this year!

Absolute steal for the money paid.
very good hold up play and I think we have got lots of scoring options for the first time in a while...
Come on Parky grab some other crackers to add to the squad....
Said the same thing last night.
This.
Knew there was something familiar about him, just couldn't put my fingure on it.
Anyone think Francis ( at a distance) resembles a young Hermann ?
When are we going to sign a Brad Pitt lookalike ?
why didn't akpo take the ball to the corner flag that time?? although he looked slower than abbott so maybe that wasn't possible
