Doesn't mean he couldn't have in a different system. And his lack of goals doesn't prove he played badly. Managers use players in different ways. Maybe his role was not to just score goals at Brighton, but to be more of a team player. In his first season for them they played him left wing iirc and then got injured!

Some people can’t have anything better to do than spend time complaining about them! Some comments may be unfunny, but 90% of the speculation in the transfer section is rubbish. Nobody with any sense who really wanted to know what was happening regarding transfers would read the forum. It’s a form of entertainment. Don’t mock the jokes, as Martin Luther King jr said: Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its the off season but Mark Ashton is very quiet. How often do we ever beat the likes of Forest or Leeds in a battle to sign a player. As soon as you see that you can be pretty sure we will lose out. I presume the foreign market is where we would look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think this is a load of Bull would Barry Fry really come out and say which club a player favours it sounds like fake news to me. Iam still looking on the positives his old physio at Ipswich congratulated him and hash-tagged BCFC. He seemed to fly out of Malaga earlier this week (Hopefully to Lulsgate) returning to Mijas a day later to carry on his Holiday so fingers x'd he's coming to BS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 If we ' miss out ' on this lad the huge compensation for me would be not to line the pockets of Fry and MacAnthony. I hope Ashton isn't stupid enough to play their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I am not convinced on Marriott and would not be too dissapointed if we missed out. What will concern me is if he was our out and out number one choice to potentially replace Bobby. We are then already fishing around plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I like the look of Marriott but at £3-4m....not £6.5m. I think Fry is trying to drum up a bidding war, but most clubs out there know how Peterboro operate....however they do get good money for their players.

This isnt pele we are talking about here, 6 million for a slightly uprated version of matty taylor doesnt sound great to me, especially as lj and ashtons track record doesnt exactly inspire confidence.... kodjia and reid were here when they arrived, leaving tammy as the one real shining light that they have brought in. and the evidence from people who are in football circles like mings who are quoting #bcfc in their tweets (btw **** ‘tweets’ and whoever thought up that crap name to appeal to 6 year olds), would appear to be a more reliable source than the evening post or any other news outlet, so im not jumping off a bridge cause of this deal collapsing just yet. There is the usual sense though of the usual frenzy building up on here, desparate for some kind of news update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I think he is over priced, but we have to pay over the odds because 'of our history', if he can get 20 goals then all well and good, but it is a big step up from league 1.

BLRed Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Getting bored of all this now. Zero activity from city. No kit still, no sales, no purchases despite all the links in and out. Absolutely nothing coming out of the club. this Marriott nonsense is getting boring now as well. Rather us not waste a big chunk of our budget on a player unproven in championship. Probably worth 3 mill tops. anyone have any idea why there is bugger all going on at the club? The only thing to have happened is Magnussen's sale and I don't even think that's been announced officially by the club. Where are the sales of engvall et al? Contract situations regarding Reid and Bryan or their subsequent sales? Players linked to like Henderson, McQueen etc? just nothing and it's bloody annoying given the window has been open since 17th May! Grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Zero public activity from City as we rightly don’t conduct our business through the media. Its the same every year, players contracts often don’t end until the end of the month so that’s when announcements tend to be made, Players wait until their agents have the best deal so we can’t determine the timescale. Plenty being worked on I’m sure and no need to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I really now hope we don't sign Marriott. If he's just interested in Nottingham Forest's history then it shows him to be a gullible unintelligent football player. Everyone knows Robin Hood was made up.
