I think Blackburn want the same for Marshall as we are demanding from Fulham for Dunk.

At what stage does the recruitment team look at the money they're now going to spend on Marshall and think again about who else they might be able to pick up for the same? I know that switching target isn't particularly easy to do at this stage of the transfer window but if we really need to go higher than £3m it must open up the options a bit.

They will set a limit and also have a pretty good idea how much it will take to get him and then decide from there, I would suggest. If the rumours that he wants to come to us are true, he perhaps needs to push things a bit from his side to force the issue. Not a quick resolution though by the sounds of things, which is a shame.

This is bad news. The club are going to have to look elsewhere, or hope that Marshall isn't happy and asks to leave.

They've always been looking out for alternatives. They look at options in all positions all year round.

 

[El Sid]

Wouldn't Buckley cost about half of that?

 

[Bozza]

He wants to stop doing things like this - it doesn't help us at all.

[Driver8]

Time to move on to other targets I would think.

Chuck the Iranian lad an extra 500k signing on fee and see if that changes his mind, still work out cheaper than £3m on Marshall.

 

[Hugo Rune]

They'll sell for a reasonable price nearer to or on the 31st Aug as was the case with Baldock last season. The question is, can we wait that long?

 

[Notters]

Wouldn't Buckley cost about half of that?

Yes but only because he would be injured for half the season. I'd rather have noone back than Buckley.

Never rated Noone. Although he'd be cheaper.

 

[El Turi]

If we want to spend that amount on a winger how about Jota from Brentford or would he be an unrealistic target with the ambition Brentford are showing at the moment?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This. If only we had a chairman who is used to playing poker.

Just need Marshall to hand in a transfer request.
