Alex#40 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Let's be honest with the speed of our media department during last year's window when Twitter had people taking photos with new signings hours before we announced it there is every chance he's signed, met everyone, picked his number, gone on holiday and come back, trained twice, moved to Bristol and met a nice Bristolian girl before they announce it!

123red1 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Personally would understand this. Both Luton and Peterborough good producers of good footballers who get well coached and schooled. Done well in League 2 for Luton and strong first season in League One ad knows how to score. Looks a more complete striker to me than Bobby (I personally think Bobby is best as an attacking midfielder but also has a poachers instinct), and at 23, could improve past him. If he had a 15-20 goal season in the Championship, under a 3/4 year contract and only 24 I would expect him to be worth in the region of 7-10m so as a business deal, it makes sense. We could buy him for 4.5m, and sell Bobby for 6m, have a decent replacement who is a more all round striker, and is younger and open to improve past Bobby and have some spare change in the bank from the sale of Bobby. I wouldn't be disappointed with this signing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks this signing goes against everything that the club has said about signings over the last few years? This is not us unearthing a relatively cheap gem from the lower leagues or abroad ala COD, Magnussen, Moore. Nor is this us signing lesser known but more experienced players like Kodjia or Diedhiou. whether you agree with those signings or not, the reasoning was clear and fitted with what the club said was our strategy Marriott looks like us paying over the odds for someone in my opinion. Something we said we wouldnt do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Peterborough asking in excess of £6m for him so would expect substantially more for Reid. If Matty Taylor is part of the deal it could work for both sides, depending how much Taylor’s value is. We don’t want to ‘do a Rovers’ and give him away for nothing.

Kid in the Riot Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Bristol City have emerged as favourites to sign Peterborough United striker Jack Marriott. Bookmaker Bet Victor stopped taking bets on Marriott’s next destination after a flurry of wagers on the 23 year-old moving to Ashton Gate. Dwight Gayle is Posh's record sale. Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony was asked on social media last night (June 5) about reports of Marriott joining City for £4.5 million and he replied, mischievously: “That figure is incorrect as is (the case on) most of these rumour sites.” One report has suggested City have offered striker Matty Taylor as part-exchange for Marriott. City manager Lee Johnson said recently: “It could be that we can’t compete with Premier League finances. You look at players like Marriott at Peterborough and you are talking four or five million for a player in the Championship.” Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday have also been linked with Marriott. Posh are demanding a fee in excess of the club record £6 million Crystal Palace paid for Dwight Gayle in July, 2013. Posh paid Luton Town just £450,000 for Marriott last summer, but the Hatters are understood to have inserted a significant sell-on clause around the 20% mark.

Something we said we wouldnt do. When you consider that Wolves are apparently bidding 35m for a right back and Fulham 25m for a midfield player and Villa quoting 40m for Grealish can 4.5m on a youngish goalscorer from a league below really be consider over the odds? I know we are no longer competing with the first two (for this season anyway) but I would say this transfer would be less than the Nicky Maynard transfer from 10 years ago (taking into account the rate of inflation transfers have increased by in that time) and that didn't turn out too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something we said we wouldnt do. Is it really over the odds though? The market is hugely inflated in this country If Kodjia (20+ at championship level) - two years ago - is worth £15m then is £5-£6m for the best end of L1 over the odds? Goalscorers cost a lot more money than other positions. Is £400k over the odds for a 2 bed flat? You’d say so of course but in the context of the market it’s just the going rate. As long as we’re recouping market rate for the players that move on it’s all relative. I would say signing a proven L1 goal scorer doesn’t go against the grain of what we said we’d do at all. It’s the sort of signing you’d expect a club of our stature to make as opposed to paying 2 or 3 times that for an established Championship striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxo Jr. Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think people on here are still judging this rumour, Diedhiou's signing and others we've made recently by the value of money in English football 5 or 10 years ago. There's so much money in English football, baulking at a £4.5 million fee for a young striker scoring for fun in a lower league will unfortunately get us nowhere. As I've said before, why should we care about how much we spend on a player, it doesn't affect us? Sure, it would be nice to know we're making shrewd signings just to know that the club's being run intelligently, but (within reason) I couldn't care less what the figure is if we're signing the top scorer from the League below us, young, two-footed and a poacher, I'm just excited that this could happen.

Question can go either way really. Would Mings be over the moon if it was Forest, rather than someone else? Mings has no playing history at any of the teams Marriott is linked with, but is from Bath and played for non-league teams in our local area.

So many factors beyond the sheer ability of the player. How much do the selling club want to keep him? How much did they pay? Financial situation of buying club? Squad depth of buying club? Contract? Player attitude to transfer? Pulling power/reputation of buying club vs selling club? Agents and their agenda? So many variables that comparing Grealish and Reid is impossible. Grealish is obviously going to command more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
