Well we've taken other highly paid, high profile left wingers in on loan in the last few years who never saw too much action on that little patch of grass !0

Thinking the same myself. Seems he is right footed though, so should be able to play on the right. Then again he's been given number 10, so is Parky thinking he can play as the deeper striker?[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]According to an interview with him, he says his best position is wide left.
Which is probably where our best player is.
Going to reserve judgement on this till I've seen him a handful of times. I can't at the moment work out where he is going to play0 -
He comes with a tag that says 'versatile' written on it.
If he's hungry for a place in the side, and he hits form when he gets the chance ....I don't care where he plays or who he displaces.
Parky's problem - and a great one to have!0 -
I know he only got 20 mins but I liked what I saw.0
-
I think he's got a good touch, wants to play football, but a little lightweight and over elaborate at times when a simpler ball would have kept possession - however, he looks like he can play a bit - the defenders in division 3 will try to kick lumps out of him!0

There was a lot of space around so can see why a youngster might sometimes over elaborate rather than play it simple. In short he provided us exactly what we need up the top as sodje looked to have really tired.0
-
Looks like he'll offer something a bit different to our other wingers and strikers. Be interesting to see where we use him. Hopefully he has an end product to go with the tricks. I think he will at this level.0
-
Looks very tricky. A little light weight. He didnt seem to want to stay wide and came in field looking for the ball. Promising start though.0
-
Came on when we had 10 men did okay. Think he will be more useful than Wagstaff who was again ineffective.0

too early to say. As said we were down to 10 but seemed busy, pacy and skillful.
can he convert that into goals and assists? We shall see.0 -
very skillful looked like he is lacking match fitness but very pleased with signing still. agree did some silly long balls but did seem to show for the ball and kept hold of it well0
-
showed a couple of bits of pure skill as well to waste some time
i reckon there are big things to come from this lad for us mark my words0 -
Looked lost on the left, but really good when up front... Skillfull player who can pick a good short pass0
-
'looked lost on the left' '????????0

I didn't want to say anything before the game but I had been told by an Ipswich fan that Martin was Keane's worst buy (and he's made a few). Poor touch and light weight being the main issues. The fact that Keane has let him go on a season long loan suggests that Roy has some doubts himself.
Hopefully today's cameo will be a sign of things to come and he will prove Ipswich and Keane wrong.0 -
Not sure he could have got anywhere near the first team at N
Man Utd with a poor first touch. I suspect he will enthral and frustrate in equal measure. Keane is a knob.0 -

I believe he's 23 now and that we are his 8th Club. I think that the Ipswich fans felt that, given his age and the fact that they are rumoured to have paid £2m for him, he would be a regular. By all accounts he did play at the beginning of last season season for them but his form was woeful.
BUT he may well be a confidence player and with the right management could be special.0 -

*Right, sorry. You know what i meant

Keano has said he doesn't feature in his plans. Couldn't get a buyer so we've got him now. Hope it turns out for the best and he helps get us promoted and stays.0

I asked the Man Utd FM researcher about him and here's what he said. I asked what he was like and if he played as a striker for them.Rarely for us - in his last season for us he played behind the striker in pretty much a free role and looked the best I'd seen him, but can't recall him ever playing as a striker.
Has got loads of talent but is pretty lightweight, massively inconsistent and a bit weak mentally I think. Surprised he's struggled as much at Ipswich as he seems to have though. Seems like a good loan move for him.
Seems there's talent there but perhaps a big money move and Championship football was a big step up for him. Remember when we spent that sort of money on Varney, McLeod and Gray - we expected good performances pretty quickly and neither were they quite good enough or able to handle the expectations.
Get the feeling it won't be long until we see him play just off Abbott or Sodje in a free role. Would explain why he got the number 10 and we signed a winger in Bally Smart.0 -
What I saw from him I liked could be decent for us, couldn't care who he supported as a kid as long as he does it for us in a red shirt then that's fine by me!0

Does that mean we won't now be signing Luke Varney .......?

showed promise yesterday while lacking match fitness. When fully fit and with some confidence i think he could be a really good find for us.0

Found this Martin skill and nutmeg 2:06 mins in
Exciting player, have been impressed so far, but unsure what his best position is:
Right Wing
Left Wing
Second Striker/Trequartista
Forward
For me playing behind Abbott in a 4-4-1-1 is where he will excel.0 -
"Trequartista" someone has been playing FM! Or you are Italian.
Martin himself said the other day playing off a striker was his best position. Apparently that's where he played his best football when at Man Utd as well.0 -

You got me.0 -
read on OS that PP said we wanted him 18 months away but had to wait.0
-
Probably waiting for a shirt sponsor...0

Hopefully he'll be more like the Palace Ambrose[cite]Posted By: CafcAndy[/cite]Why do i think of Ambrose when we signed him..?
