arsenal can have martins on loan. Martins is strong and quick - just not serviced enough and is some times hasty.

Obafemi,if u no what is good for u ,come to Arsenal and enjoy ur carrer.money is not all.

Martins is hardly a threat hes just proper clumsy n loses the ball constantly between his feet fiorentina might aswell get a 16yr old insted of him
