  • Marquee was a great music venue, I just wanted to say that, thank you and good day

    I understood the marquee signings to apply if we ever reach the premiership.

    It's always best to go for marquee signings in the prem.
     Man city made all their marquee signings when they were in the prem.

    Have a look at clubs that have made marquee signings outside of the prem.
    It usually never ends very well.

    I understood it that the fella from Peterborough was called Mark Key.

  • On record of having a five year plan to get to the Premier League which by any standard is very ambitious. They didn’t have to say anything about a five year plan but chose to do so and have therefore increased both expectations and pressure. Naive or confident ? I’m guessing and hoping that we will see some half decent signing over next couple of weeks and providing relegation can be avoided the summer will tell us all we need to know.

  • Now Bowyer is signed I am so much happier, in fact after that performance tonight I am just feeling so much better. 

    Players coming back, the seniors starting to look like their old selves, and Cullen, he just steadies the defence so much. 

    So I'm all chill again.... #bipolar
  • Is this thread about to disappear from the first page and never to be seen again, hopefully?

    Only if people stop posting on it.

    Oops.
  • Yep. the Marquee signings bit has been massively taken out of context too. when he said the phrase "there will be marquee signings" it was in the context of Lyle's contract offer and talking about 'the model'. He was accepting that there are players worth breaking the model for - in fact he was saying there are some players you have to break the model for to get or keep hold of. It was at this point he mentioned Shearer at Newcastle when Bowyer was there - he implied that he was on a significantly higher wage than the rest of the squad but that worked because he was a "marquee player". 

    At no point did Matt say anything about "there will be marquee signings" in reference to this window. 

    People have taken that out of context and massively overdone their expectations.
    Matt Southall said "there will be marquee signings, there will be players for whom we need to go over and above if we feel they will strengthen the team".  But the words he used immediately before this were "The players we're trying to bring in now...". 

    So, it's right that he did not, specify that marquee signings would be made in the current transfer window, he did preface the "marquee signing" comment with the the word "now".  

    "Now" might not mean in this current window.  But, I am struggling to work out what it does mean, if not.
