Do you really think that Marshall ability wise is not able to get a contract at the bare minimum at a L1 club? Looks to me that he has doesn't really have the hunger for it anymore. He knows the owners at his new club and is doing them a favor more than anything else. He hasn't suddenly turned into a terrible player that can now only sign for pub teams.

Goal stats are not that great at senior level - though obviously he was prolific at youth level.

Not disputing that.

is that non-negotiable on Dacks side? Besides I am more worried that we get the same player back after injury. Not renowned for staying in the best of shape either, so a year off and the temptations that come with it.

He was a 15 mil asset - who knows whether he still will be after his return from injury and a contract that will be in its last year.

Perhaps the plan is to upgrade Walton, release the Canadian, and use either Fisher or Hilton as Number two (leaving space for another u23 keeper)

Pretty sure that you could find many more examples - those are just the high profile ones that everyone knows.

Yes but you are a player first and a fan second. Of course all players still have the favourite clubs that they support and like Shearer, hope to one day represent them.

We need to sign somebody and quick - for the sake of this thread if nothing else.

ITS HILARIOUS - Someone unban Cp Lad or whatever his name was.

HAHA OK

Is everyone in Poland called Wozniak or do our scouting department just like the name?

The best Superman impressions get window seats on the way to Portugal

Because they don't need to yet. Why start paying the player improved terms when it is already set in his contract that the team can automatically extend him for a year? This contract clause is well known and that is why they are asking what they are asking. Whether we think he is worth it is another discussion as that is what they want for him.

Bit of a suicide pass from Tosin actually who went straight over to apologise to Travis on the ground. Travis is always going to go for that ball but yes his reaction was way OTT. When subbed he got a lot of abuse from the Wednesday fans when sitting on the bench and TM sent him off down the tunnel.

No, Maddison maybe but Pompey have a clause giving them the ability to instantly extend the contract of Curtis for another year.

Never heard of him tbh. Been playing RB apparently. Hope they aint been watching Nyambe.

Dont think there is any hatred, just not rated at this level unfortunately.

6 foot 3, looks a unit despite his youngish age.

He is Croatian, but yeah, we are back in Portugal again.

Yes and they almost pulled it off. Deal was scuppered at the last minute because Leeds didnt want to pay the 1.5 million loan fee up front. Swansea rightly wanted it straight away so they could use it in the January window to strengthen.

I think even Parson once mentioned that he was astonished that Mols has not been given a chance yet. I guess midfield is not so easy to push into right now considering we have so many of them. Travis, Buckley and now JRC have come through the academy already in that position and then you already have our senior first teamers in the way as well.

I think Nyambe could also push them if he stays fit and continues in the vein that he has been playing.

While we can bemoan some of our recruitment and the speed at our progression, compared to Wigan, it is clear who has done far better since we both came up.

It absolutely would. I read recently that they tried to do a 3 million loan deal for Jarrod Bowen for the remainder of the season with a view to a 15 million transfer should they go up. Now, while I agree that a club should strengthen when in a position of power, that kind of comes across as a bit arrogant - like they already think they are up. Hull could get that money and probably more for Bowen in the future anyway, the lad is still young. Besides, why would they derail their own season (a point below us) as due to the unpredictability of this season, they still have a chance of the playoffs themselves.
