Would Wolves selling Ben Marshall to Cardiff City be a huge risk?
By Danny Owen


Friday 15th December 2017


Wolverhampton Wanderers look set to battle Cardiff City for promotion - so why would the Championship leaders let a rival sign one of their players?


It may feel like Wolverhampton Wanderers are running away with the Championship title already but it is worth remembering that Cardiff City are still only four points behind and breathing down their neck.

It goes without saying, then, that Wolves would be taking a risk selling a player to their nearest rivals in the January window – even if he does not seem to be part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s immediate plans at Molineux.

According to the Daily Star (13th December, page 43), Cardiff are interested in signing Ben Marshall in the New Year with the winger out of favour at Wolves.

Neil Warnock manager of Cardiff City celebrates towards the Cardiff fans after the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Cardiff City at the iPro Stadium on February 14, 2017...

Marshall, who only signed back in January from Blackburn Rovers, has started just one Championship game all season and has fallen down the pecking order since Nuno replaced Paul Lambert at the helm.

Though the former Leicester City ace may find game time easier to come by under Neil Warnock at Cardiff – though he would face a challenge muscling the in-form Nathanial Mendez-Lang and Junior Hoilett out of The Bluebirds’ side.

But with Cardiff keeping up the momentum and waiting for any slip ups at the top of the table, surely it makes more sense for Wolves to sell Marshall to fellow suitors Sheffield Wednesday instead.

Wednesday are 15th after all and 21 points adrift – so it’s fair to say they provide much less of a threat to Wolves’ promotion prospects.

Possibly not, but Wolves (if their fans are anything to go by) are certainly arrogant enough to think they've got it cracked this season, so selling one of theirs to their nearest competitor wouldn't worry them

Agree, he is a good player and would fit the ethos at the CCS :ayatollah:

Two things spring to mind here,1st,I think I'm right in saying he's under contract until 2020???so it would need a sizable fee and at least a 3yr contract and second,given I'm right on the first bit with that length of contract is he good enough to have in our prem squad.(if we get there) ;)

Look at Villa giving us Bennett on a free? Crazy and at least that was last year when we were shit. This year Derby letting us have Bryson? Mad.

Mind you they had to create space for Ledley who is a lot better than Bryson.

Weird this, after the Leeds United game I caught up with someone who told me speaking to Warnock a week or so before that game that if we was still in the position we was would he strengthen in January and he said if the funds were there and players were needed that he was a fan of him and Bradley Dack.

Think Ben Marshall would be a great signing and far better option than Feeney has been. Bradley Dack is also a player I think would suit us who covers a lot of ground and plays just behind the striker. His goal scoring record in league 1 has been really impressive for a number of years and he's clearly ready for the championship judging his record at Blackburn this season. The only issue is he only signed for Blackburn in June and paid 750,000 for him so I'm guessing they would want between 1.5m - 2m, which I'm not sure we'll pay.

I was gutted he didn't say Tom Cairney, can't stress how much we could do with a player of his quality here.

He's a big fan of Bradley Dack, I think he is only 22 or 23 and done really well in league one.

I think been slightly unfair on Feeney, he is a loan player and tried his best here and hasn't done anything wrong but would welcome Marshall on a permanent signing.

Was signing Ledley. Bryson was his last choice.

Personally I quite like Bryson.

he signed for Derby 3 weeks after the window closed.. a three month contract { which has since been extended } but if your honest a 3 month contract is what you offer if not sure.?
