Blackburn have turned down an improved £3 million bid for Marshall

[Simster]

A Blackburn season-ticket holding friend of mine reckons he's good but isn't worth anything like £3m.

Grabban played against us for Bournemouth as a central striker. He didn't figure against us at the amex for Norwich.

I am wondering if all the paper talk of over inflated offers for Dunk is affecting Blackburn's valuation? I suspect so. Afterall, if a decent centre back is worth 5m, then logic says one of the better wingers in the league will be worth more than that.

 

[southstandandy]

Marshall is good but IMO not worth £3m - time to look elsewhere.

 

[supaseagull]

Is he really worth £3m? I am sure there must be others available as good and perhaps cheaper, any suggestions? Lewis Grabban?

He is worth considerably more...around £4.5-£5 mil in today's football economy. Hence the comment I made in another thread about getting fed up with the club allegedly offering stupidly derisory amounts for highly rated players.

If Dunk, as a defender is worth in excess of £4 mil then Marshall is worth far more as a winger/attacker.

 

[Albumen]

In terms of what we actually need? He could be worth 60m by May. Spend spend spend, go up to 5m.

Ha! Oh come on, we have the dosh after the clear out of good players.

 

[BensGrandad]

Except that we're playing 4-4-2 this season.

,

Are we, who said so? I think it will be a flexible 4-4-2/4-3-3 as is demanded in the game according to how the opposition play.

Hughton. Hence the weeks of discussion on here.

We're already (maybe) approaching the largest transfer fee we've ever paid. I don't see his signing is likely to bring us promotion.
Sorry to be a party poop.

I would take that with a pinch of salt as I am sure we will start each game like that but change as it progresses.

A £4.5/£5m signing for Marshall would, i think, make it the biggest or joint biggest signing by a Championship club in the transfer window so far...
And there have been relatively few that are £3m+ .Even £3m, the current reported offer, makes it Albion's 2nd biggest signing of all time. Derisory ?
(Downing was reportedly £5m, Ince - £4.75m).

I poopoo your pooping Sir!

 

[TSB]

Given this is likely a season of 'potential' rather than glorious success or abject failure, I'd rather we spent a similar amount on two stars of the future/lower league gambles.
Players like Murphy and Alireza, for instance.

Blackburn are not under any pressure to sell with a 14m bid from Mboro for Rhodes..

Unless the Venkys want maximum total cash out of the club this summer.

They sold Gestede quickly enough.

How about Blackburns other winger Craig Conway?

A few on NSC will explode if you mention bringing back a former player
