Would you accept £10m + Jose Fonte?

In Carl's last update, he said £10m for Marshall plus Jose Fonte is being talked about with Southampton.

Would you take that?

If Marshall wants to go then yes I would, as that would be a great deal, but if Marshall was happy too stay, it would be a no, as a reliable and consistent keeper in invaluable.

I think that would be the best transfer business we would have ever done.

What about signing Steve McLean on a free then selling him for 500k 6 months later? :lol:

Am I missing something here?

Why would a player who was a first team regular in the Premier League last season for a side who finished in the top 10, drop down to the Championship?

IF Marshall wanted to go (and he doesn't particularly want to go at the moment ;) ) then that would be a good deal IMHO :thumbup:

He dropped down from Palace to Saints when they were in Champ and League 1 respectively so he;s done it before.

The fact we went up as champions without having any player on double figure was nothing short of phenomenal off marshall proves how good he was.
I just don't see light at the end of the tunnel without him beetween our posts

My only worry is who would we put between the sticks if Marshall was to go.

A choice between a young inexperience keeper or one who hardly set the world alight at Macclesfield.

I dont want marshall gone but that would be a good deal.

We would have to reinvest some of that 10 million to replace marshall though.

How much would a replacement cost?

It would be good business, but I'd still prefer to keep Marshall here personally. I just think he's so valuable to this team & individually getting extra points. :ayatollah:

The points he has saved us since he joined if accumulated and put on a table we would be well on our way to promotion.

Makes good business sense, BUT, for me it's a no.

We need a proven, top class GK - which we have. And we should do everything in our power to keep him.

Very tough to answer.

I went with yes, I would love Marshall to stay but it would be wrong to step in his way, he deserves Premier League Football and it benefits the club, amount of times we knocked teams back for millions and how we lived to regret it, remember McCormack and Ledley for 6-9 million to Hull, ended up getting 500k for both of them, one gone on a free.

Fonte would be a top signing for us.
