Marquis

[GazLaz]

Won’t be going to Sunderland by the looks of things. They are signing Marc McNulty.

[dickos1]

Gone?

[Retdon1]

He won’t be going to a fellow league 1 side. 4 championship clubs want him but non have made firm offers up to now

[dickos1]

Hope the fee is around the 2 million mark and the board give it all to Moore to re-invest

Looks like he’s chosen Sunderland over charlton

[Dare to dream!]

Maybe this is why DM hasn’t signed anyone yet?

[jamesrover17]

I personally don't think he will be going anywhere, we know what we want for him and no-one wants to pay £2mil plus for a player who is out of contract in a year, get the goals here, get promoted, new contract at the Rovers, its a ballsy strategy, if he wants to play in the championship, prove it, get us up and enjoy himself

[GazLaz]

We either sell now or give him a new long contract.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

We either sell now or give him a new long contract.

We might have the option of neither.....

[anton123]

U can’t make him sign a new deal though

[Sprotyrover]

If we are only offered peanuts which seems always to be the case we should keep him for the season it’s worth 650 k to us if we get promoted

[selby]

 I asked Gavin Baldwin last night specifically about this question, the answer was we don't have to sell anyone and contracts will be discussed  with the board shortly. Only if offers meet our valuation will they be considered, and at the moment nobody is for sale.

[godlike1]

In fairness to John no one would begrudge him a move up the league and if he felt the valuation was either too much or blocking a move he really wanted I'm sure he'd put in a transfer request.

Id be amazed if he signs a new contract though and can see him either going in Jan for v little esp if we're having a poor season or for nothing in April if we don't go up

There hasn’t many occasions when our players have attracted the attentions of other clubs and make them offer a fee . Circumstances drove Sunderland to make an offer and for what ever the reason the club made a big thing about rejected it . Since then Marquis has been thrown into the lime light and to his credit  has kept own council and not advertised his desire to leave or handed in a transfer request .
Marquis  career has grown and he has scored plenty of goals and gained awards by the Football Authorities and still he has not thrown his dummy out . Yet we keep talking as though he has been caught climbing the fence trying to escape and it’s only a matter of time he succeeds .  The club want Marquis to stay but realise financially it’s going to be toll order as his replacement isn't going to be found without big money , so they put a sensible price on him but they will let go sooner and take what’s offers as loosing him for nothing may well be where they could see themselves.

Only if you assume the club is the stumbling block, Clubs have enquired and met the Clubs valuation the fact he is still with us isn't because we have over valued him.

I thought there hadn’t been any firm bids?

If that’s your question ... Then how come their saying it meet the clubs valuation . You can’t have one without the other .

[Chris Black come back]

Bear in mind how ‘approaches’ happen.

It is probably almost never the case that unsolicited a club sends a detailed bid with a specific figure involved ie a firm bid.

Will more likely be range of approaches from calling up and enquirying if they are available and what broad fee is being talked about, or with a lead from agent. Could be a call saying “if we were to offer xxxxx amount then would you be interested in talking?”. Could be that “we heard that xxxx amount was offered by xxxx club so how much extra would you want to exclusively deal with us?”. Possibly a few clubs have called to express interest in Marquis but also have other business so will leave it as “let us know if anything moves in next xx days / weeks”.

So asking questions of club like “has there been any formal bids?” will tell you nothing. Better to ask “what contact have we had over Marquis?”.

[Axholme Lion]

My mate heard he was coming back to us. He heard it in the car park at The Den, so it must be true.

[Move DRFC]

He's got a deadline day panic buy from a Championship club written all over him. I just hope we have identified replacements.

[keith79]

Do we need to sell him to strengthen  the team or are funds already available

[dickos1]

🙄

[NewDonny]

Well something needs to happen either way. He gets the move he wants, the club get a return on him, everyones happy and we have funds to find a replacement. If he's staying then that needs to be sorted and quickly if Saturdays game was anything to go by.

It was embarrassing to be honest watching him on the pitch, falling/tripping over feigning fouls, mistiming his runs and play acting and generally being very disruptive. We cannot have a CF who clearly doesn't want to be here anymore play acting around in friendlies, he helps no one and is off putting and disruptive to the rest of the team around him. No wonder we don't look like scoring when we have him playing at CF, he's not really there on the pitch, his head is elsewhere and it shows. How can the front 4 work as a unit if attacks and build up play constantly fall down around your CF, he is the foil to the side that when attacking everyone plays off.

It needs sorting.

If we have to sell to buy it surely the cue for the current owners to do one I’m afraid enough is enough

[glosterred]

We don’t have to buy if we don’t sell him


COYR

[firestarter]

Has nobody been paying attention to what’s been put out there by the club.. we do not need to sell anyone and funds are readily available for DM

[NickDRFC]

If this hypothetical scenario is even true, how many other millionaires are out there who are willing and able to fund our loss making club?

[Michael Gibson]

Obviously we do..... look at the evidence, all the big earners getting replaced with kids and loans you lot need to smell the gravy there’s clearly something not right.... I might be wrong but I severely doubt it, if they were serious about the championship they could do a lot more but they don’t want it it’s obvious, it’s time they went.

[biggle]

Lol

[dickos1]

Which big earners have been replaced by kids?
