People seem to think that clubs can afford not to sign players like Martin.
Huddersfield have signed Phil Joseph ffs and Tony Tonks, both of which were shocks to the fans but both will be very good players on quite small salaries who will do what is asked of them.
Why is Tony Martin, a model pro with vast experience, such a bad thing? Nobody at the club has come out and said he is the man Hull will build a team around, he is simply a good old pro who will be low cost and hopefully high value.
Would you rather the board had pipped Wigan to Gareth Thomas's signature?
