Marshall Joins Blackburn

Recommended Posts

Posted

A younger and slightly better Gallagher that has made no real improvement in the year and a half hes been here.  If he really had as much talent and potential as some believe then Stoke wouldn't have let him go so cheaply in the first place.  Far to many people on this site unshakably believe in the 'hes young so he will definitely improve' mantra. .

Shame as he definitely has ability. As some have alluded to I think he is a bit of a luxury/confidence player. No doubt he will go on to do decent things in his career and I bet he makes an impact at Blackburn for sure. Decent money for him and hopefully we can get a couple of loan signings in from this. One centre mid and another winger...

 

Probs some twitter rumour but saw someone had posted on there that we may be after James Henry from Millwall now Marshall has gone? I reckon that would be a good signing. Always thought he was a dangerous winger.

Given NP plays quite negative but effective football my bet would be on a defensive midfield player (the other Arsenal youngster?) coming in

 

Marshall was talented but I'd prefer NP to develop Knocky and he is unlikely to play both.

 

£1m is decent

 

NEXT!

I do feel abit sad that we couldn't get him to replicate his early promise that he showed. I wish him luck in his future career.

 

I agree. I suppose that's the danger with younger players, many don't realise their potential. Don't think he ever did enough to force his way back in the team after Knocky started playing regularly. 

Just hope we can get someone in as we're still light in the wide areas.

He still got the most assists out of any of our players last season. Shame to see him go.

That's true...

£1 million is a good fee. I've got a feeling his Blackburn career might go exactly the same way as his time at City - he'll introduce himself with a bang and then I reckon he'll fade away.

I just get the feeling he'll be one of those players who never fills his potential - hope I'm wrong though.

Need a playmaker more than anything though I suppose Knockaert could fulfill that role, in a 3-5-2 but if we are playing 4-4-2 we need a pacey Right winger.

I think you're probably right buddy..

I'm amazed that Blackburn would offer him a 4-year contract.

 

I would have thought in the era of FPP, Blackburn giving a 4 year contract to someone who could for all they know never fulfil their potential and not break into their first team is a bit risky.

I meant fulfilling HIS potential by the way not fulfilling 'ho's' potential!

He does have a history of fulfilling ho's potential though :D

With the players we've shipped out on big wages and for fees, namely Beckford, Wellens and now Marshall, we can surely afford a reasonably priced permanent signing?

I doubt we were originally within FFP so this may not be the case?

Haha fair play. Agree with a lot of what you have posted recently. Have you been hacked? ;-)

 

lol Not yet.

 

Was never a massive fan of that chant personally.

Good luck Ben. Just hope you dont play against us !! Still think this is a shame BUT lets just hope the DOF allows NP to bring in a couple of players.Does anyone think Ward from Derby will now be a possibility?
