We're a team desperate for goals, we've got England's all time leading scorer as manager... nah don't want him! That is of course assuming "Rooney decided..." doesn't actually mean "the club decided, over Rooney's head, because they can't afford to take the hit on the wages....." Couldn't agree more. Painfully light up front and we loan out the person intended to be our main striker, to a rival. Not pulled up any trees in a while, but if we don't bring someone in, it looks really worrying.

Millenniumram Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Good news imo that he’s gone back to the Wendies. He’s not got any future here, and we don’t need any more players who aren’t contributing needing payment. Keeping him off the wage bill as planned is excellent news, especially after this weeks events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a future here as we just gave him a year extension - I assume to maintain his value interesting that he could be playing for a team in direct competition for a relegation spot - I’d Derby were relegated his pay would go down whilst sheff Wednesday could stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Marriott could have some record this season though. It’s looking a strong possibility that he will have played some part in the relegation of two clubs in one season!

If we go down we can sell him or use him in league one - sensible really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 7 hours ago, AGR said: I wonder if in the history of football there's ever been an instance where a club loans a £4m striker to a team one place above them in a tight relegation battle. It just sums up how we've been ran the last few years. For the record, I'd like to see Marriott given another chance but can understand loaning him if we're skint. I think if Lampard didn't take the Chelsea job when he did, he would never have got it if they'd had a chance to analyse his permanent signings at Derby. £9m for Jack and Waghorn is some of our worst business in recent memory. I think it's marvellous plan as it's Marriott who we are talking about! Problem is, they have seen through it and do not play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimmerman Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Maybe it's agent Marriott, destroy the opposition from the inside, stops them signing someone else We've under estimated him.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Top name change from @Boycieta. I agree with others that it's gauling we're threatened with relegation yet in such straits we have to send our striker to a key relegation rival.

Shang Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I think it could be that having him around not being first choice/playing regularly is detrimental to the dressing room. He could be a bit of a negative minded player and a bit of a moaner, which is the wrong type of player to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
