Marquis

[sha66y]

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.

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

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

I know......I do understand context and how to be glib

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

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.

In a years time we won't have a choice...

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.

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

I'm not delusional, Marquis is worth more than £1m in this market, even with only a year left on his deal. £500k is laughable unless you're swapping him for a proven goalscorer, and a prospect like Walker isn't that.

The way things are going he will be worth nowt at the end of the season and we’ll have a disgruntled unhappy player not wanting to play for a club that’s restricted his career

LETS JUST DORT IT OUT QUICKLY for him and us

How are the club restricting his career?

I think he may be a bit disgruntled now.....and the only restricting I can see is the valuation not being met....but if some of the championship clubs that have been mentioned are still interested, and want to table a bid that’s acceptable , they will be getting a great striker ...... I would prefer him to sign an extension ....just don’t think that will happen

Not in the squad today. Ominous?

[IDM]

Who is in the squad.?

[karldew]

Think it’s a big sign he might be going.

Glad to see Whiteman back in though!

[IDM]

Or maybe he has a slight injury - like Whiteman recently..

Notice there are three triallists on the bench, I expect they would be the ones training with us.?

[adamtherover]

Fb saying that the QPR loan keeper is part of a deal involving marquis?

Saw him at Cantley shops yesterday morning and seemed to be limping a little when he got out his motor

Really! I'd say so.

[Copps is Magic]

Didn't he take full part in the open training session yesterday? Moore also distinctly said after the Huddersfield game there were no injuries in the squad.

Dearne valley rover.  If you were him and the club had prevented you moving on for bigger wages etc I think you’ld be pxxxed off
Forget all this he’s signed a contract garbage we are in the real world
I don’t want him to leave if he can carry on playing well and scoring but I’m a realist    It’s just gone on too long. 

If the club intend to hang onto him for the remainder of his contract they should come out and say so. His valuation is going down all the time

[IDM]

But also if he’s still here yet wanting to leave, his best way to stay on the shop window is to play well and score plenty again..

[dickos1]

If he stays without signing a contract he will have a host of clubs wanting to sign him for free next summer regardless of whether he doesn’t score as many goals this season

[ravenrover]

Word has it Notts Forest for £1.4m

[IDM]

Would be disappointed to lose him but can’t complain - top scorers in this division will always be sought out by bigger clubs higher up..

Your assumption it’s the club who is stopping him from moving which isn’t true in fact none of your post is

As has been said if it's going to happen i'd rather they just get on with it and let us look for a replacement. the longer it goes on it's inevitable he'll be a deadline day panic buy and we won't have the time to replace him properly. At least if it goes through fairly soon we can have a proper look at options

The window for championship clubs to buy him closes in early August.  The window for league 1 and below at the start of September..  ok maybe not for the very start of the season but there is plenty of time to replace him..

[sedwardsdrfc]

That's not so bad then we'll have a month to replace. Can we sign players from divisions who's window has closed? just thinking ideally his replacement will be a younger championship or prem striker

[redarmy82]

No, we don't have a month to replace him. Where are the goals meant to come from for the first 5 or 6 games?

If he's going, he needs replacing quickly.

I wouldn’t replace him...just stick another defender on and hope for 6 nil nils.....

Yes ideally we would replace him quickly, but it’s more important to get the right player for the other 40/41 games in the season, and beyond..

[dickos1]

Everyone has known that marquis probably will be leaving this summer.
If we haven’t got the replacement already sorted then there’s something up

Maybe they have players in mind, what makes you think they won’t have researched this.??

[dickos1]

I never suggested they hadn’t so If they have then it wouldn’t take until 5/6 games into the season to sign will it.
