Marquis

[vaya]

Against all the odds, a discussion actually about football has broken out.

Must be the heat.

[steve@dcfd]

For me I would like to see three new players behind John. Pace, height, creativity and goal scorers. Crawford, Copps and Sadlier would be on the bench. Copps would be in there if we could only sign two quality players.

[steve@dcfd]

Matty Blair is a useful utility player who can cover 2 or 3 positions. He isn’t technically good enough on the ball to play centrally in midfield

He can’t pass consistently to play midfield utility player at best to cover right back and front three. Bench sitter

[Dare to dream!]

Blades have today signed Ben Osbourne from Forest for £5m. This could push the Marquis to Forest deal through if the rumours are to believed.

[sedwardsdrfc]

I'd take 500k and a Tyler Walker for him think he'd be one we could sell again for more than Marquis in the end. if they don't want to sell £2m and a season long loan would sort our replacement out for the season at least

[Dare to dream!]

I watched Tyler Walker play for Mansfield in play offs against Newport. He was dog shit.

[dickos1]

Well he got into the team of the year so I assume that was just a poor game

Thats the kind of signing i’d like to see tbh.
A young lad with potential whose best days should still be to come.

You watched him for 1 game presumably on the tellybox and came to that conclusion!!? Strange that, my builder who has been a season ticket hold,  for yeats at Mansfield really rated him and he watched him all last season. Think I know whose idea of a decent player I would take

500k!? Walker in exchange is not worth £1m-£1.5m. We'd be getting ripped off in a deal like that.

Not saying Walker wouldn't be a decent signing like, but we can't be selling Marquis for peanuts.

And if that doesn’t happen are ya just gonna whinge and whine for the whole of the season screaming “ I told you so, I told you so “

[Red wizard]

For me we have to hope we can pick up a good loan player or 2 for the attacking area of the side. We haven't got the funds to sign a proven 15-20 goal a season striker. There also isn't many who get that many goals. So we either take a gamble on a lower league striker or we get a prem teams youngster. Even a striker from the conference who gets 20 goals is costing 250 K plus add ons. Lucky for us we have a proven striker we just have to hold on to him. Every side in the league is looking for a goal scorer so I can understand why we haven't found one yet.

[IDM]

Who says we don’t have the funds.??

Plus, at the moment we have one of the best L1 strikers.  If he goes, we definitely would have funds..  a league 1 or lower prolific striker going to another league 1 club is going to cost less than one going to the championship.!

Ya said “ we” 7 times?
do you mean Darren Moore the Manager, or we the supporters?

When we talk about the Rovers, we always refer to them as "we".

[selby]

 We are all one aren't we?

[sha66y]

It doesn’t matter what “ we “ want....

that way only leads to disappointment and despondency..lol

I'm talking in terms of now though, not next year. If we sell Marquis now we can get upwards of £2m for him, far more than 500k.

[the vicar]

If we could get upward 2m then why has no one put in a decent bid or nothing in weeks

I think that you are delusional - if we get £1m for Marquis I think the club will be more than content.

[the vicar]

If he extends his contact and he gets another 20+ then we will get more for him

[Metalmicky]

Agreed...... we'll probably get another 20+ for him - although I think he has to pass his 11 plus yet

What i'm saying is we'd get a replacement we'd probably have to pay a fair bit for (so a chunk of any Marquis money is gone) and he'd have better resale value than Marquis. Don't think forest would go for that anyway probably not much in it between Marquis and Walker in reality

You have referred to DRFC as we at least twice on another thread.

How many goals has he scored and how many could he still , I doubt money is the problem . I would imagine JM has been told he could play at a higher level and just wants the opportunity. If he doesn’t go to Championship club then he may just go to a club who will just pay him more money .

[Spilsby Red]

Or he stays at DRFC, main striker who gives his all, would he want to go to a club where he isn’t number 1 striker. We gave him his opportunity and maybe he might repay that. Just a thought !!!!

It has been his success that has turned his head and the recognition that went with it . He is a 1st rate player and person . If he starts the season imo he will see it through . It’s endless speculation that creates problems when he hasn’t even put in a transfer request .

[PDX_Rover]

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.

Wow. What an amazingly ignorant post that is. Truly amazing. And you claim to be a fan? I dare you to ask that at the next MTO.

[PDX_Rover]

We’ve brought in five players haven’t we?
