Stoke City: No go on Martins
by Michael Baggaley
CHAIRMAN Peter Coates has dismissed reports that Stoke are looking to sign Newcastle United's Obafemi Martins.
-
City have been strongly linked with the 24-year-old Nigeria striker, who appears surplus to requirements at St James' Park following Newcastle's relegation to the Coca-Cola Championship.
City manager Tony Pulis needs to bring in a forward to supplement last season's front line, particularly as Mama Sidibe is expected to be out of action until October or November after successful surgery on a ruptured cruciate knee ligament.

“This would be a fantastic signing, pace, power and clinical in front of goal. The wages would be worth in IMO, he is a far bettter player at this moment in time than Owen.”

“still sitting on his hands regarding signings. meanwhile Wolves have just had a snip with Surman one that Stoke were watching but as usual waited too long. Bikey from Reading will probably escape the net as well.”
