Get eisa for £1m, offer him to Peterborough for £1m and 50% sell on. Then buy Eisa for £6m. Easy, way cheaper than Marriott.

Why not just buy Eisa for £1m and keep him?

Some are saying we have already signed 4 players pre-season. Marriot is the 'Man of Mystery", the "Scarlet Pimpernel" , "a sausage wrapped up in the cod lot"

Per year though no? My, thats a long set of installments.

It is per year but you can transfer in other Eisa's from previous tax years.

Eisa at 1 million would seem better to lansdown as well I expect 

I've championed Eisa a bit now.

I don't think SL & LJ by the signings we've made are likely to take a punt for a mil, more likely, for now at least the policy looks likely to be buy proven quality, I don't think we will pay Marriott what his agent wants in wages however.

[Ska Junkie]

Let's get this one sorted and a replacement / additional keeper and we're looking pretty damn strong IMHO.

Go get Marriott LJ.

Leeds turning attention to kodjia instead of vydra. Extra bonus for us. Get bonus payments from kodjia re-sale, plus Derby don't sell their most valuable asset leaving us free to complete Marriott purchase. Win win!

I think we are offering what Peterborough want but Marriott wants too much in wages and rightly so we won't pay stupid wages.

You are correct.

On pitance at Peterborough and now expects 20k or more a week.

That wont happen at Ashton Gate for sure. 

What the lad has to understand is that he could quite easily use Bristol City as a stepping stone to much bigger things.

Yep, exactly this. Still young enough to rise to the very top if he wants it enough but if it’s been stalling this long because of his wage demands then I think we should just sack him off and get a player who wants to be here. He’s got to realise his place in the pecking order value wise and realise he must earn the right to top money by proving he can do it at this level.

Negotiating this deal must be a nightmare for MA. Out of the Barry Frying pan into the Marriott's of fire

Didn't fat Barry state that none of the interested clubs have bid enough for him to take it to the board? I'm sure he did.

“Eight clubs are chasing Jack, but I still haven’t received a bid worthy of taking to the board of directors,” Fry said to the Peterborough Telegraph , speaking from the EFL chairman's conference in Portugal.

He's not correct, we haven't had a bid accepted for him yet but have bid 3 times so clearly we think we can meet his terms if we're given permission to speak to him.

Grabban has signed for forest, does that clear the way for marriott to come here?

This is kind of what makes me excited about the signings we’ve made so far, they’re likely to have been on very similar or even more at their old clubs, Derby/Shef Wed especially pay big wages compared to us, so the fact they’re willing to come here for not much of a wage increase, if any, shows their intent of playing and succeeding, not trying to squeeze as much as possible into their already overflowing wallets..

But a bid can only e accepted if the player wants to join the said club.

Peterborough don't have to say yes to any bids unless the price is acceptable to their valuation.

A player not wanting to join a said club wouldn't be broadcast as it's a tool to drive the transfer fee up.

How stupid would they be to say, we accepted a bid of ?million but Jack doesnt want to join.

They can continue saying we've not had an offer that's acceptable with all party's.

You don't go to a poker game and show your hand and cash with the first or last hand.

Agree with that mate. Wednesday and Derby have been close but missed the boat in recent seasons and the players must want a similiar but fresh challenge.They must be thinking that City are worth the move and of course they have the promotion push experience we need.

They'll face a team of overpaid individuals who will want to show off their skills but will be crushed by a real team .

IMHO .

[Loosey Boy]

I don’t think we want to sign him anymore....ever since Weimann was a done-deal.

Lets be fair, £6.5m is too much for a “One Season Wonder” in League One

That's not how I understand it. You have to have a bid accept it before it goes to wages etc.
That said , no doubt the agent will talk to the club, the club will have an idea of what to offer and if the player is viable. But you have to meet the owning clubs demands first. Didn't we have a bid accepted for a striker , which after talks he decided to go elsewhere.

[The hand of RO'D]

I’ve got a feeling this one will be a long drawn out transfer.

I think we’ll eventually sign Marriott for a lot less than the quoted figure once all of the other ‘interest’ fizzles out and we’re the last team with money on the table. I can see him signing for between 3-4m late July.
