Marquis

[Retdon1]

I would have thought any club before they could speak to JM officially would have had to have our consent first having met our valuation?

Are you guessing about him talking to Portsmouth?

I’m guessing that’s the case

No I know that’s a fact

[Metalmicky]

He’s going for talks with Portsmouth today

Where's that come from?

Spoke to someone I know last night that speaks to him regularly. He’s gone there for talks today. He prefers Portsmouth over Charlton as his mrs family all live nearby in Brighton and Bournemouth... it will happen next day or 2.

A few things....... You apparently found this out last night, but waited until 1:24 the next day before you decided to tell the world.....why?

Does JM regularly talk to this person about his future plans? - especially as this fella is prone to telling you and you're likely to spill the beans on a football forum. 

Thirdly, you say his wife's family live nearby, but I wouldn't call 50 miles particularly 'nearby' - especially when you consider that Charlton is only about a further hour away - and JM could still play (and be paid for) the Championship football that he yearns for.....

OK fair enough, but did you ask your source whether Portsmouth had agreed a fee with us? I think this would have been my first question.

No all he told me was it’s looking like he’s off to Portsmouth and will be talking to them today. He said Charlton were also interesting but at this moment he favoured Portsmouth due to the location of his mrs family... he’s told me a few things this summer which have turned out to be true so I have no reason to doubt him now.

[DearneValleyRover]

Well Portsmouth fans are usually on the ball when it comes to knowing who they are signing and they haven’t heard a thing down here, I’m in Gosport so I might pop down the road to see if JM is knocking about.

[glosterred]

I’d be disappointed if JM signed for Pompey, as I think some on here would be also. Thought he wanted Championship football? In which case Charlton would be his best bet, Pompey aren’t a guarantee to go up this season, whereas Charlton are already there.

[Spilsby Red]

Plus Portsmouth have four other strikers. Not guaranteed a starting place.

He might not be meeting club representatives at the ground.

[Chris Black come back]

Up to him where he goes. Would be marginally happier if he is not playing in same league as ex-players always score against you, but so long as they are offering the asking price then who cares!

[RedJ]

Please not f**king Portsmouth. One of these clubs I dislike for no real reason, especially as the media f**king fawns over them.

[Michael Gibson]

If he goes will it be undisclosed or about 500k, no way Pompey will pay more than that

[Retdon1]

Maybe now things are moving in regards to him talking to Pompey, championship clubs like forest and qpr may decide to make their move.

[RoversAlias]

The Daily Mail were reporting last night that Pompey and Charlton both wanted him, so it's hardly something plucked from thin air. As a result, I'm not sure we can take any "ITK" posts stating this as potential fact. No offence intended to Retdon1, he may be speaking complete truth but we'll never know.

Just have to trust that the club will only sell him for his market value (or above) and have spent ample time in recent months identifying potential replacements.

As for the suggestion that he'd only go for 500k...don't be ridiculous. Far too low for a player of his pedigree, age and calibre.

Like to prove that assertion.?

Non taken, I’m only writing what I’ve been told by someone Idd class as reliable... Idd hope the fee is around £1.5 million. He’s worth more but unfortunately for us the length of his contract means we don’t get big money.

[Boomstick]

1.5 million would be terrible business by rovers. But I wouldn't be surprised.

[Copps is Magic]

When you post a rumour that big, you look a bit daft if it doesn't come off.

[IDM]

Why would that be terrible business.?

I know the last bit was tongue in cheek although I am in Gosport

He’s got 10 months left on his contract. We won’t get big money for him

[Copps is Magic]

We'll get the club's asking price. That's been their position all the way through since January.

It will be undisclosed anyway, triggering years of debate whether it was 200k or 4 million plus add ons.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yet some in the Facebook group are saying £1.5m is too much.

Whatever it is, there will be moaners, even if it's undisclosed, there will be those claiming they know and will be having a dig at the club.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I think it's the managers phone in on RS tonight at 6pm.

No doubt DM will be asked about Marquis.

[DonnyOsmond]

I'd love to know how much just to know if we're passed the era of under valuing all of our players.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Thing with the fee is often its buying potential. With marquis it isn't, he is 27 so he is unlikely to be a big fee in future, he may well be at his peak, that will put suitors off. For a guy who's scored plenty goals, the bids havent been flying in....

[IDM]

Any club buying JM now would be paying for what he can deliver over the next couple of seasons, rather than resale value..

[the vicar]

1.5 million would be terrible business by rovers. But I wouldn't be surprised.

but the club have only valued him at 1m haven't they

[IDM]

Have they, where did they say that?

My post was tongue in cheek too DVR. We really do need that Imogee adding to the options,

I can imagine you peeping round corners all day in Portsmouth.
It would be a bit like the Monty Python World Championship Hide and Seek Final.
(If you remember that).

There can’t be a resale value as by the time any club bought later him he’d be in a similar situation as of now but 2 or 3 older and near the end of his career, that’s why we need a good fee now and fore go any sell on fee to make it worth getting a better fee .
