Transfer Rumours January 2020 Transfer Thread

It'll help if we're getting rid of salaries for Henriksen and Milinkovic though.

 

Where does he fit in then? small forward isn’t he?

 

McCann obviously rates Kane highly and has worked with Marriott. Hopefully any early incoming transfer business gets sorted quickly.

 

Saw him in the play-offs last May, a nippy number ten type player. We could do with a specialist in there.

 

He reminded me of Matty Fryatt in the way he is in and around the box. One of those players always in the right place.

I'd still like to see us have a go for Marcus Maddison at Peterborough, though.

 

Good call.

Has Marriott been injured or simply out of favour?

 

Thats the lad I mentioned earlier that Derby are after. £2.5 million release clause.

 

I think Cocu prefers Waghorn and Martin, both have made more appearances than Marriott has.

 

Imo we will take him on loan and play him when needed, so we can then send KLP out on loan lower down the league's to get proper game time rather then have him getting odd minutes here and there once all forwards are fit

 

Disagree

 

If he is as good as this not tall 5’8” player I will be happy.

Maddison would be a great signing.

 

Favouritism mate...

Merry Christmas.

 

Yeah, if we sell Bowen, KLP seems like a straight replacement. He may be inexperienced, but you've got to start somewhere.

 

The thing is though, the game time he is getting is doing him the world of good; he's only 18/19 and he knows he isn't going to dislodge the first team strikers at this stage. A start in the Rotherham game, against a team that were in the Championship last season, would be perfect.

 

Dropping down a division and playing much more would do him much more good then the odd few mins, once we have the other 2 back from injury and possibly another new forward to add in the mix, realistically how much game time will he get? At his age, with his potential and at his stage of development, a loan to a L1 team and playing more games and for longer periods in those games would be best for him

 

I think having seen him play a few cameo roles he’s good enough to play in the Championship and he’d be better off continuing his development with us.

 

A lot of Derby fans don’t seem too keen on Marriot, saying he’s not fit, which is the reason why 2 managers haven’t played him regularly!
Could be just bitter fans?

 

He almost certainly is, but he's not going to get the minutes needed at this stage of his career to really push on, it would be best for all parties if he went and played regular for half a season. We would see the benefits long term
