Marquis

[RedJ]

Could be wrong I suppose but my pal has good connections at Forest.

5G internet AND Sky?

[Bentley Bullet]

I'm not sure Marquis would settle in Nottinghamshire. It's a place not known for its strikers.

Lol, perhaps to that as well.

[drfchound]

Just been thinking about this.
Copps tried them and we got him back in six months.

[john_donc857]

Can’t begrudge the bloke a shot at the championship can we. It’s a short career and no doubt he wants to do the best that he can for his family financially. Did we actually pay a fee for him? It’s good business all round. We get 1,5 million quid and John doubles his wage with a signing on fee on top. Also the  money men running our club will only have to find half a million quid this year towards the  annual 2 million shortfall.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Thing is, even if club accepted the bid, doesn't mean he'll end up there.

[DonnyOsmond]

At tonights managers special Stendel said if he could take one player from another south yorkshire club it would be Marquis..

But he’s too old he added on after, too old at 27 wow.

Darren replied with I’ll take Sharp then

They had a team last season where no player was over 26, so can understand that comment.

Nice thinly veiled dig there, almost didn't notice that you were implying the club won't reinvest any transfer fees received.

[john_donc857]

I thought someone would notice 😂. Not much gets missed on here. It does go to show though that there’s much more to being a manager than getting results. Was it fergie who signed him? That blokes made a lot of money for the clubs he’s managed through his scouting system

[the vicar]

I have just had a message from a Forest fan saying that DRFC have a £1.5m bid accepted from NFFC for John.
To be confirmed in the next couple of days.

that is true I.5m within the next 48 hours, so we need a new striker

[Spilsby Red]

And we will get one

[coventryrover]

If true, good luck.to John.   Given his all for husband has to think about himself and his family

[Dare to dream!]

Seriously doubt it's forest

[the vicar]

Players come and go, John is no different, and another player will appear in time maybe but we will get there

[Spilsby Red]

Exactly. Players come and go a part from copps. I am grateful for what Marquis has done. Amazing for us. When he goes, all the best John and thank you

Hey, you could be right.

I suppose that sooner or later one of these stories will turn out to be correct.

[DRNaith]

So it’s a fact then that this value goes down the closer you get to the end of said players contract

I believe so, because it is actually the current contract that a new club is buying the player out of.  The longer the contract the more you a depriving the current club of that player for.

Exactly the point I’ve been trying to make,

It’s nonsensical to suggest the price is the same now as it was 8 months ago.

But if we don't want to sell, it's irrelevant what other clubs think they're willing to pay. I think that's the counter point being made.

[IDM]

Like all commodities which don’t have a fixed price, the value will be dependent upon what is agreed between the buyer and the seller..

Marquis could have more value for Portsmouth than for Charlton.. therefore they could pay more up front..

Regardless, there will be a limit on what the club will agree to.

Go and have a word with the people who make the decisions at DRFC and tell them that because they definitely don’t see it they way you do.

[dickos1]

Why would I do that? It’s a common fact of football as many have attempted to point out to you not just me, although you only seem to want to reply to me.

If you know the price we turned down from Sunderland, if you know what we would accept why don’t you just say rather than constantly dropping hints you know more than everyone else but won’t say what it is you know.

[Alan Southstand]

According to ‘NottinghamForestCommunity’ on Twitter, Forest have had a bid of £1.5M accepted and deal will be done in next 48hrs.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

[DonnyOsmond]

They haven't got that from here, have they?

[dickos1]

That article was posted yesterday but apparently isn’t a very reliable source
I’d much rather believe Moore

Probably because you are the only one who isn’t listening. I fully understand what you are saying and would normally agree but in this situation it’s different. I’m saying no more

What makes you think that DVR?

But why would it have changed? Player depreciation isn't a straight declining line. There are certain times when it will dip, that's for sure, but I fail to see how he's worth so much less at this point than he was in January.

[ChrisBx]

You could even argue that his value may go up so close to the start of the season...
