Question:
Which of these would you rather have Fulham sign?
Option 1: Chris Martin
Option 2: Cyriac and Enrich
As Cyriac and Enrich would cost 3.5m+2.5m (6 mill combined) and Chris Martin would cost around 7 million,
Which would you rather have?
Cyriac and Enrich so we have more depth

Don't see why our budget would be limited to ?6/7m but if it was id rather take our chances on those two than Martin
Not limited to that, But just these (plus Gyan) are the only names we have been linked with
Cyriac + Enrich every time. Martin just doesn't excite me despite a fairly decent goalscoring record, much like Rhodes. I would rather more mobile strikers, especially with the thrill of the unknown!
Martin doesn't excite me either, but is proven in the championship, so Martin and Cyriac for me
Cyriac + Enrich
The team's remaining need is for what used to be called a 'centre forward.' You can't be one of those if you are too small, so it's Enrich v Martin in the stakes on offer. If Enrich will score reasonably often in this league and also offer the kind of hold-up and linkup play that isn't part of Matt Smith's game (and that Cauley can't quite manage at this level), then his button should be clicked. If not, then it's visible both from stats and from Youtube that Martin was doing this consistently until this year. If a third person who in addition has searing pace then him instead.
Cyriac + Martin, because you need two types of forward to allow for a plan B, and Martin has proven he can score in this league so it's not a huge gamble, and Cyriac has pace to burn
I wonder how much money is left in the kitty, we need to spend big bucks on a striker , have we the funds?
The kitty should be able to stretch to Cyriac and Martin.
To me Martin is an expensive Nemanja Nikolic. Polish press reporting that Nikolic's two-goal performance yesterday was a 'farewell' but we seem to have missed that bus (if we were ever running after it).

Maybe you haven't heard, our owner doesn't spend. We will get nowhere close to spending the 12m we got for Ross on new strikers. Thus, I'd take any one of the 3 and be happy with it.
