Happy Fox Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/229058/Nigel-Pearson-s-Ben-bid/ NIGEL PEARSON is lining up a shock £600,000 bid for Stoke winger Ben Marshall. Leicester boss Pearson will battle Hull and Charlton in a scrap to sign the playmaker this month. Marshall has impressed on loan at Sheffield Wednesday this term and the Owls are keen to extend his stay until the end of the season.

Happy Fox Posted 8 January 2012 Author Posted 8 January 2012 Ive just read this, but the Daily star..........meh. Same the credibility isn't that great but he is NP's kind of signing young with a point to prove and is a winger.
Happy Fox Posted 8 January 2012 Author Posted 8 January 2012 Homzy Mark Holmes If you haven't already seen, the Mirror and Star say Leicester are lining up a £600k bid for Ben Marshall. Star stays we'll sell Ric. As if.
dave_the_fox Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 Glad Pearson/Walshy are still looking for this sort of talent, not just the big money transfers.
Happy Fox Posted 8 January 2012 Author Posted 8 January 2012 Glad Pearson/Walshy are still looking for this sort of talent, not just the big money transfers. I doubt he is going to make the Stoke team anytime soon we are probably the best option for him, so lets bring him in.
dpjfox Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 maybe this is percys twitter link between us and sheff wednesday
dpjfox Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 not sure if hes right or left winger (in stoke os listed as striker)
Cumbria Fox Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 I've seen him a few times when he was on a long term loan at Carlisle, (last season) and he was impressive. The Carlisle fans loved him and the manager tried to sign him again this season but he chose to go to Wednesday instead. He's only young and may be well worth signing. He is only going to get better!
burni Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 would be a good signing without breaking the bank and hes a winger!
FrankieADZ Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 when I saw him playing on loan at Carlise I thought he looked impressive; good to see Pearson & Walsh looking at some young talented players looking to prove themselves.
Dan Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 I'd take him, Sheff Weds fans I know absolutely rave about him.
Bugg Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 Ben Marshall is a very good player, surprised he isn't in the Stoke team yet if I'm honest
foxfanazer Posted 8 January 2012 Posted 8 January 2012 Can anyone tell me his strengths and weaknesses? I've never heard of him tbh

jamfox Posted 9 January 2012 Posted 9 January 2012 The ginger winger seems to rate him ? Sheffield Wednesday manager Gary Megson is struggling in his attempts to sign Stoke winger Ben Marshall. The 20-year-old has been a success since arriving at Hillsborough on loan in August and is due to return to Stoke on January 15. Megson is keen to keep Marshall either on loan or in a permanent deal but negotiations have stalled and Stoke have prevented Marshall from playing in Sunday's FA Cup third round tie with West Ham. "At the moment, the negotiations have not gone brilliantly and Ben hasn't been given permission to play against West Ham because of that. As it stands, Marshall will go back on January 15 unless something changes," Megson told the Yorkshire Post. "Hopefully, we can still get Ben sorted but there is more than one way to skin a cat. We might be able to try and buy him. That might be an option. "There will be nobody more pleased than me if we can get Marshy to Sheffield Wednesday whatever the circumstances. If we can't, we will have to get someone else in or one of this lot will have to see what Ben has been doing and try and replicate it."
