Striker Obafemi Martins has given Roeder Breathing Room
Glenn Roeder at Newcastle was pressured when he signed Inter Milan player Obafemi Martins for £10million during the summer but his goal on the 47th minute and 50th minute over Levadia Tallinn has given the boss some breathing room.
Martins has already scored three goals for the club and he is expected to score 17 more goals to become a worth investment. Strikers are expected to score in that range and it is believed Martins is going after that standard otherwise his stack is going to fall faster than his rise.
Glen Roeder was not only pleased with Martins but was happy of his team’s performance against Tallinn and expected his team to move up the standings.
It is widely known that Newcastle has slightly opened their pockets recently more than they usually do, which brings more pressure to win more games.
Obafemi Martins’ goals bring hope to this squad and may have their boss open up a bit more as he proves worth of his amount.
