Yeah, he was excellent from 2010-2014

Big clubs were interested in signing him during 2013.

Not sure if his physical attributes have declined due to injuries. Maybe that's why he has struggled.

Vadis would be a good option behind the striker if we need him, but can't be trusted on the right due to his poor defensive work. IMO.

what the fuck was that, Martin was terrible but only one person to blame that's neil (NCFC) - yellows2011, Jan 23, 17:18:27
- impossible to change at 3-1 they scored from the kick off. (NCFC) - harry boulders, Jan 23, 17:30:57
  - we actually had a really good counterattacking chance just before they scored (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 23, 17:35:30
  - and then had the moral upper hand as a result (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:35:09
- Mulumbu is not a CDM. He hasn't featured much since coming back from injury (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:23:46
  - Pretty sure he is predominantly a defensive midfielder (n/m) (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:29:19
    - Box to box player. Yacob was (and still is) the CDM for WBA (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:30:29
      - Thought they both played deep. Did pretty well defensively regardless (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:34:59
        
        In fact if you read that, the stats back me up (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:52:48
        
        Never said he was more defensive than Yacob, just that he does good defensive work (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:05:43
        
        Being a good passer isn't all about assists (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:12:34
        
        Yeah. Been a big disappointment this season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:18:27
        
        Hopefully we'll actually get to see him show it on the pitch at some point (n/m) (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:16:06
        
        Don't disagree that he's a good tackler (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:43:45
        
        Well as a good tackler he'd have been a big improvement (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 23, 18:11:47
        
        Yeah I don't disagree with that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:14:05
        
        So you wouldn't say his contribution is mainly defensive? (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:57:13
        
        He's an all around mf player (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:05:21
        
        Just a bit worrying that he's not getting a game in this situation (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:08:51
        
        I don't think we can afford to loan anymore players out (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:15:54
        
        Did you see him in Man City Cup game? (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:19:46
        
        No I didn't see the game (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:22:46
        
        Hopefully he will come back in at some point, like Vadis, and take his chance (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:25:51
        
        Yeah, he was excellent from 2010-2014 (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:29:31
        
        Agree on Vadis, thought he may be able to play CM but clear that's not possible (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:32:50
        
        We need a couple more in the Tettey/GON mould (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:43:58
        
        That was why I thought SAN bought him. But he doesn't seem to rate him much (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:58:46
  - Would off sat in midfield rather than putting Jarvis and olly on (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jan 23, 17:29:06
    - His game is about pressing high up the pitch, winning the ball and making runs (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:32:20
      - Tetts and GON are our defensive midfielders. Clearly we need some backup in future (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:35:50
      - An extra body is centra midfield is what we nedded (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jan 23, 17:34:53
        
        I do understand and agree with that point (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:40:36
