Cam the Ram Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Posh name their price for hotshot Peterborough have told Championship clubs eyeing 33-goal hot-shot Jack Marriott to cough up £6million. A number of clubs are weighing up bids including Derby, Norwich, Bristol City and Nottingham Forest. Former Ipswich trainee Marriott,23, is unproven in the second tier but is regarded as a natural penalty box finisher. He handled the step up to League One with ease last season after a summer switch from Luton. Derby are likely to bid once their top-scorer Matej Vydra goes with Leeds leading the race for the £11m-rated frontman. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-manchester-liverpool-12748653 @17:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckoBeast Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 No way with that price tag, that’s ridiculous. Get Maddison instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be an argument to say that that is actually a good price for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 That’s quite a lot for what will be a big risk. He’s obviously got talent to score that many goals, but what about his all round play? Can’t say I’ve seen him play so I’ve got no idea, but there’s more to a striker than being a “penalty box finisher”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Very risky at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Whereas his goal record is good, I think for that price we would be better off looking at Reid, already had a good season at championship level and offer quite a lot other than just goals, or maybe Gayle from Newcastle if we can afford him...

Same Dwight Gayle that Palace spent over £5m on from Peterborough 5 years ago? Surely Marriott is a similar type of risk as the likes of Gayle & Assombalonga once were?

EraniosSocks Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Just putting trust in Frank and Morris to pick the players they think will be a right fit for the team. Onwards and upwards and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If Posh want £6 mill for Marriott we should buy Bobby Reid instead. Assists as well as scoring plenty and is proven in the div. If we could somehow hang on to Vyds too, well, I'd be like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I can't see him going for quite as much as that. Posh have already made their stance, and I don't think it's the best way to go about it. They've publicly came out and advertised that he's transfer listed as it was a promise if they didn't go up. They've promised him he can move on, so they either sell him or break the promise. I'm not sure what kind of personality he has, but I can't see him being too happy about it either way. They'll name the price high, see if any Championship side takes a bite. The longer the window goes on, the price will gradually drop. If clubs hold their ground, I reckon a couple million could be knocked off that price and 3-4mil is much more reasonable. Peterborough have committed to selling him, so he'll go at some point this window I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Marriott & Reid in with Vydra money? I would be happy with that. You replace his goals, you get 2 players who got alot of goals & assists last season at this level & league 1 as well as a young gamble who clearly has the quality if the coaching team can get him to make the step up. A front 3 of Marriott Reid Lawrence would offer pace, youth & creativity - id be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong , if we sign him I’ll back him to do well I just think you could spend £6m on Marriott or £7million on Reid or I’d imagine similar on Gayle seeing as he hasn’t been playing at Newcastle. Doesn’t seem a lot more to get someone who has done it at this level too and are still relatively young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was deadly all season long, strong quick and he definitely winds the opposition defenders up. Certainly on my ones to watch list, him and Bayliss have the potential to make the step up.

I doubt very much Gayle would be let go for less than £10 mil. When posh say £6 mil that’s the starting point. In reality it’s more like £3-£4 mil with add ons and getting him for around £5 mil.

Jimbo Ram Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 All this talk of multi million pound signings. Is the talk that Judas left as we haven't a pot to pi*s in and Mel saying we have to tighten budgets and radically reduce the wage bill all poppycock then? I was under the impression that the sale of Vydra would cover these shortfalls?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has come out of the club saying we have no money to spend just no 'significant' money - selling Vydra would raise significant funds to spend. The reason for selling Vydra would be A. Lampard cant see him in his team B. He is one of the higher earners (we need to cut the wages) C. He can demand a high fee to funds Lampard's own signings.

Comrade 86 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Guys don't forget that Stevie Mac (I think it was under his tenure) was quoted £4.5 mill for Ollie Watkins who ultimately went for £1.8 plus add-ons. Asking and selling prices are often pretty disparate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
