Davefevs Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 2 hours ago, TonyTonyTony said: Too true. Every transfer has an element of risk. When Man U signed Di Maria for 60 odd million did they expect him to play like Stevie Wonder ? Nope. Did Liverpool pay 30 odd for Salah expecting him to be worth 5/6 times that in one season ? Nope At our level that risk level is magnified quite a lot. 2 hours ago, chinapig said: There are others you could add to the United list. Veron stands out: a world class player who didn't work out. The examples used above are proven players - might be from abroad, but top pedigree. The players Bob and Redcherry are talking about are players lower down the ladder that they’ve scouted (professionally scouted in some cases) who they think have serious potential above the level they were watched at. I know Bob instantly saw FINISHER in Marriott, because he’d DM’d me in the past. We could’ve got him for £200k probably. No guarantees of success, and of course for every scout, they’ll have their “he’s the one that got away” player, but it must be frustrating for them to push a player under City’s noses, and see interest, but no purchase. It’s probably part and parcel of scouting too. RedCherry had talked to me about Watkins for ages. I won’t go into detail, but over the past few years the amount of Exeter players who’ve gone on to better things is pretty impressive. We talk about Angers and their scouts, Exeter do it bloody well.

Ska Junkie Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Kodjias Wrist said: ahem any update on Marriott According to a poster on the Cardiff forum who has a mate closely linked to midlands football, Brum, VILLA (?), Forest and WBA are in for him. We can't compete with the money some of them pay I would imagine although Villa (and Blues for that matter) can' spend anything can they? WBA would be a concern if they're after him. Maybe it's time we called their bluff but after seemingly losing out on Reid, that could be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 This is a RED LINE for me. Sign Marriott and I might let Johnson stay on as manager. Its up to the club now - I have made my position quite clear on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want Marriott and have done since the start of the summer, he's back from his holiday next week so I expect it to hot up. Us or Derby, depends on what happens with Vydra and when though.

Possibly so, they certainly seem to have to sell to buy. Much talk of Vydra to Leeds but Bielsa has only just got his feet under the desk and may look to loan players from Man City.

JoeAman08 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’d rather just buy Eisa and him be a flop than spend 7m on Marriott. It is all good and well getting good fees for your players but just would not do business with them at Peterbrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get both - Diedhiou, Djuric, Marriot, Eisa and Taylor is a nice group of forwards with lots of different strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Watkins and possibly the lad from scunny to that and I see a LJ Plan B. 3-5-2 going forward, 5-3-2 without possession and on the break. Shame if JB does go as he'd be ideal in midfield especially going forward. If he goes I can see him playing that more advanced role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 442 is staying honestly which I don’t mind as long as Brownhill stays central this season. Think the press affected the central midfielders the most. Rotate Smith, Brownhill, Pack, Walsh and maybe COD. Wouldn’t say no to another either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a plan B, not suggesting that we will change system, just looking at the picture I see emerging for a plan B, something we missed so much last year.

Pack for some reason I see as the next to depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
