RamsPolls Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Really can't see him coming here unless Vydra leaves. We don't have that kind of money to throw around without outgoings first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Until we sell he wont be coming here. No point in speculating until someone moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If Frank and Jody can come up with Mount & Wilson I don't see why they can't come up with someone cheaper for the risk than the £6.5m Posh want for this guy!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again - Fair point - But I prefer to have a couple of plans on the pitch already - So you could play to feet or to head - That way the opposition doesn't know what kind of ball you're going to play when the move starts - If you change your number 9 during the game the opposition knows what you're going to start doing (ie, with Jerome it goes high or in behind but try to avoid going to feet cos his passing isn't great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there really aren't that many championship-level players who can do both and work in a high-press game. Marriott would be settling on someone shorter, but for more impact in the other areas of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The long ball game is more a defensive strategy than an offensive one. Launching it long towards your centre forward is unlikely to result in your team retaining possession. It does give you territorial advantage like in rugby. If your CF can put pressure on defenders such that he wins the header or puts off his opponent then there's often a scramble for the second ball. If you are bringing on a big guy looking for goals, you should be thinking in terms of more crosses from the wing rather than long balls from your half.

I still think martin will be a good short term answer cause we all know he is one of the best with the ball at his feet.can he come up with the goods im not sure as we all know hes never gonna run the channels but gonna be intresting to see what frank can do with him if anything at all.

Old Spalding Ram Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Seen Marriott a couple of times and the local Posh fans down the pub seem to agree with me that he does seem ridiculously overpriced. Mind you, at the time I thought the same when the cash was splashed on Charlie George, Roy McFarland,Mark Wright, Shilton, Nish, Stimac, , Gabbiadini, Rioch, Todd, Saunders, Davison, Hector, Gemmill, McMinn and even Eranio on a free transfer were all in my opinion vastly overpriced!!!!!
