Absolutely ducking ridiculous. What an absolute shambles: first spending the amount of money on him we did and then just giving him away to apparently bring in no replacement. This club is an utter embarrassment at times. How can we possibly get out the rut of signing bad players and then giving them away for next to nothing if absolutely nothing behind the scenes ever changes? If we don't bring in a replacement for him, then you seriously have to question the thinking going on behind the scenes at this club. Send Jack Marriott to a rival, let Chris Martin go, bring in 34-year-old journeyman Colin Kazim-Richards on a one-year-deal as their replacement? I mean...wtf? And if Marriott is having a medical at Wednesday right now...then who plays up top tonight?!?! I'm so confused. I hope something comes out later that we're signing another striker but knowing how this club has done deadline days in the last few years, I'm not getting ahead of myself...

They backed the manager who wanted Marriott - Made him a priority signing Then that manager decided to leave New manager can't make Marriott fit in the way he wants to play Not sure how you can have a go at the club for backing their manager?

A washed up journeyman from Mexico. Letting Marriott go means we will need another striker. If we don't bring someone else in to replace Marriott and Kazim-Richards is the replacement. Then this club is the absolute pits. Me right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, Rooney was anonymous against Norwich. This is baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have read this wrong somewhere, but doesn’t the window shut at 5? We’re getting very close to that without any concrete links. Saying that, we’ve been pretty tight lipped this window.

Animal is a Ram Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 EDIT: Beaten to it. Must be confident of that replacement... so I hope. Else this window has gone from promising to depressing on the final day. Interesting that we have a Jan recall clause... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Our transfer business for a striker has been nothing short of shambolic. If we don't get someone in today we have Waggy, a washed up old journey man, and academy players. Unless we want to play another old man up front in Rooney.

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This is a strange one for me, not because jack has been a revelation for us but because it leaves so short up top. I could get behind the CKR signing as I thought it was a stop gap until Dursan in Jan. He would have provided a different option with Waggy and Marriott. Now it seems we’re pinning our hopes on him and we’ve now not got any match fit strikers for the game tonight ??♂️. I pray for a good result tonight because I feel the meltdown will reach new heights after the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The fact we’ve got a recall option in suggests to me that no one will be coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Marriott has offered very little since the play offs. In a totally different set up he may get goals. If we don't get a replacement in, then this your chance JHI and Duncan. And based on current form, I don't think they could offer less than Marriott. I imagine it will be between Rooney, Waghorn and CKR. With the two youngsters as back up. Will that do us until January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well, if he finds his form whilst taking points off other clubs in the division then fair enough. Either we think Duncan is ready to step up or we are bringing someone else in. Let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inter politics Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 So if Marriott is flying, we will recall him in Jan? Very strange move all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
