Or perhaps Stockley is on his way out along with Davison (extension only activated so we get a fee?).Chris_from_Sidcup said:If it was 2017 i wouldn't mind signing Marquis but the guy has got 9 goals in 2 years. I can't believe we'd be seriously looking at signing him.
We don't need a Stockley replacement because we have Aneke and also Davison is a lump as well. Why would we need 4 strikers who are all over 6ft? Perhaps the new manager will be John Beck.0 -
The black box is designed to find players forgotten after falling off the radar for a while but with decent previous stats = John Marquis.Chris_from_Sidcup said:If it was 2017 i wouldn't mind signing Marquis but the guy has got 9 goals in 2 years.

Lyle Taylor anyone ???? Forest looking to loan him out for the season13

And even if that is true i still wouldn't be looking to sign a striker who had a shit goalscoring record for a team we finished above, and a worse record than the striker we've just released.Scoham said:

Agree, I hope the majority of signings are first choices who improve on what we have, not back ups or like for like.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Cawley’s heard Marquis is a player we’ve considered.

For him to be bought as a replacement option he’d have to be a) cheap, and b) on a relatively low wage. He’d also have to be happy to be number two choice at 9.Richard J said:I can see the logic in signing Marquis and feel that it shouldn't be seen as a replacement for Washington but as a rotation option for Stockley.
When Sir Alex Ferguson signed future Addick Jesper Blomqvist, it confused many experts because of his similarity to Ryan Giggs. Fergie explained that it was presicely this that made Jesper an attractive signing, so Ryan could be rotated.
I see Marquis providing a similar option for us as an alternative to Stockley. Aneke can then be more of a number 10 sub option as well as providing further cover for the 9.Can’t see it myself, but I’ll probably be proved wrong.0 -
Not sure what to think of that. If true, it feels like we're heading for a repeat of last season.Scoham said:Cawley’s heard Marquis is a player we’ve considered.0 -
If we sign Marquis, I will lose the little faith I had left in this recruitment 'team'.28

If Marquis is under consideration then I’d hope Steve Gallen knocks it into touch. If SG seriously thinks that Marquis is going to get us promotion then perhaps SG needs to be replaced too. It would be an outrageous declaration of mediocrity.3

Was one I was hoping we'd be after, sure a lot of people would say the same.cfgs said:Jack Tucker3 -
To be fair, Marquis provided me with one of my favourite moments at The Valley. The little blub, right after the playoff semi final penalty shoot out.3

The true picture will only be clear in a couple of months.If the Marquis rumour is true then I’ll not have an issue with it providing he is here as a 4th choice striker behind Stockley. We were so lacking when Stockley got injured last season and realistically we’re not going to get much better as a 4th choice striker in this league. His recent couple of years do seem to have been a decline however.
If he’s coming to play and others are going then I’ll be concerned.6 -

Letting Washington go and bringing Marquis in (if true) is madness.Pompey fans absolutely hate him.2

This. If we are expecting loan signing these don’t normally arrive until late in the window after teams have been knocked out the league cup.RC_CAFC said:The true picture will only be clear in a couple of months.If the Marquis rumour is true then I’ll not have an issue with it providing he is here as a 4th choice striker behind Stockley.

Tucker was a player i hoped we'd be in for. Centre back, young, good fitness record, free transfer, wages wouldn't be stupid, local lad so would surely prefer to stay close to home.
Fair enough if we got outbid on wages but if we simply weren't in for him at all considering it's an area we badly need to strengthen then again i'd question what the recruitment team are doing.7 -

Not quite, due to his age, will be a fee/compensation.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Tucker was a player i hoped we'd be in for. Centre back, young, good fitness record, free transfer, wages wouldn't be stupid, local lad so would surely prefer to stay close to home.

But would have been reasonable.0 -
What makes you think that SG has the casting vote in the recruitment team ?ShootersHillGuru said:If Marquis is under consideration then I’d hope Steve Gallen knocks it into touch.

I'm fairly chilled about the Marquis link to be honest. He's a 10 goal a season striker generally, more if he's having a good season which he does every few years. Stockley has been our on-pitch captain all season, was a big signing and is clearly going to be playing as first choice next season. We suffered without him and Chuks should be counted on as an impact sub but not a player who could have an extended run if Stockley is out. If Marquis is being brought in to act as a backup to Stockley in case of injury, with the impact coming from Chuks either way that's not the end of the world. You can't expect much more than a 10 goal a season backup. That's exactly what Washington's level was and that thread's gone for pages with people not sure if he should have been let go. The link might be nonsense and it's still unclear how we'll set up but if he's aware he's there if Stockley is out and not much beyond that then it feels like a logical signing in terms of type.

Agree. We would definitely need an upgrade on Washington as a replacement as well though Marquis would have to be a Stockley back up not a Washington replacement.Garrymanilow said:I'm fairly chilled about the Marquis link to be honest.

You just wait til the new manager plays him up front alongside Stockley. We'll look like real dicks thenLeuth said:
