Simon79 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Have only just seen that video of him, so obviously only going to be good snippets. But he doesn’t snatch at the chances & it’s often finished with the instep. Certainly looks like he has potential. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finds side netting often and that is natural. Also when he drops that shoulder and cuts on his right looks lightning quick for any defender. Also the FK was superb. Pace, dip and curl. Don’t think anyone save that. Also, seemed to be a poacher of sorts too. Picked up some dangerous spots in the box. Obviously highlights but you can pick up some minor details.

Taz Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Red Right Hand said: It seems he`s one who didn`t take rejection at a young age lying down but knuckled down and got on with it which now seems to have paid off for him. I like players with that sort of attitude, they know they`re only a gnat`s bollock away from being a failure and are more determined and hungry because of it. 1 hour ago, lenred said: Yep, great point RRH. Here's hoping that hunger continues now he's reached the championship and that he wants to go on to the very top. Can only agree with both of the above. Could have the next Jamie Vardy, but if this does come through, the lad needs a bit of time to find his feet. That's unless he takes to the league like a duck to water...

xerox6060 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Yes excited by this and the pace we're putting together in the squad, Marriot could turn out to be a good buy for someone but way too expensive and fed up with Peterboroughs little media game, was hoping this would be one instead.

MC RISK77 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Does this mean we have moved on from Marriott @Harry..funny we are taking their potential replacement from them and not paying the £ for Marriott. a decent punt for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 If this happens will be a similar outlay to Engvall. Surely it can't turn out as bad as that punt. Seems a much more sensible chance to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Nice to think LJ sold the benefits of joining us not just to the player but to his existing manager too, who I am sure wants his player to make the best move possible. Can't remember who the Cheltenham manager is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Well if we are really interested in him, and I haven’t been following but have seen his name mentioned, there would be something wrong if we aren’t given first refusal at least given the family ties and loan deals from us in the past.

Think more the loan deals to be honest. I am sure financially they favoured Cheltenham. Meaning I doubt they were paying any fees and probably paying only a small portion if any of the wages(probably some on Taylor Moore but the others would be on very little I’d imagine). The only benefit for us would be the experience which you can’t put a price on. I am glad we are(seemingly) taking advantage of this situation because lets face it, anyone else would be. I can see other forums saying they could not compete because of the family connection and he would not have to move. Lets face it we have said similar before. About time something favoured us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Would prefer Eisa at £1.5m (after add ons) than Marriott for £6m plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear a week or so back that we were still interested in him, but I can only imagine it was a case of one or the other and Posh have acted like ***** so we’ve done the right thing.

As I said I’ve not really followed this, so probably totally wrong, but were Posh hoping to sell us Marriott at at premium and then buy Eisa as his replacement? But have we snookered them by jumping in for Eisa, if so well played LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Marriott has had his ‘head turned’ by Derby and this may have influenced the final decision M Have to say I know little about Elsa so hope that we come out of this the better I like Marriot but no guarantee he would have delivered in Championship and I wasn’t sure whether I’d have paid £6m or so that was being banded about so let’s hope the gods / fate have pushed us in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezey Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 As someone who has watched Mo on numerous occasions I can tell you he is ready now. He works hard and scored goals in a very poor Cheltenham side last year. He’s very quick and strong and is decent enough with his back to goal. He’s never been bullied by league two defenders and I honestly think he has every chance of making the step up. Really pleased, according to someone within the club it will be officially announced on Monday. Terms have already been sorted already apparently and it’s a done deal.

If they buy someone they might be held to ransom themselves. It works both ways doesn’t it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
