Gazred Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Was a rumor on here about a midfielder not happy and seeking a move a little while back, think it was implied it was Cisse though. We do have other options in his position so its feasible i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We turned down 2 million from Mad Mick a few seasons ago, would say he's worth about 800k now. He was total class in his first season here, and when i say class he looked like he would play in the prem one day, however he has never recaptured that form of his first season, but still a decent ball winning midfielder who will chip in with half a dozen goals per season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ITFC Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Outburned in his first season, carrying central midfield (both directions) by himself, Elliott recovered somewhat last season (although played out of position). A good header of the ball scoring nine don't make you a offensive central midfielder. Elliott would do great for you in his correct position as defensive central midfielder without any involvement in the offensive play except on set pieces and offensive runs into the box - Should you pay very good money that is. Well we are looking for a defensive mid..., our midfield is so lazy especially tracking players back, I think it would be a good signing for us Bullard & Elliott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 errr first rumours were around £1.5mil That would be an excellent price for Marv., and no doubt City would accept it. We seem to be open to good offers on many of our long standing players with a view to a thorough squad shake up, and Marv. fits into this category along with the likes of Fontaine, Johnson, Skuse and no doubt others. Marvin's a very solid and popular player who, while never quite recapturing the incredible form of his first season, is a player who will always give 100% and at his best is a real powerhouse in the middle. He'll get a few goals as well, something we would very much miss from midfield. I'd be sorry to see him go, but much less so at that price.

CiderHider Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 No way 1.5m is a joke, beside, he's just signed a new deal. We would need to bring in 2 replacements if he did go. Very underrated player I think, Jewball should look elsewhere, unless Marcus opens his 'war' chest...Ohh the irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Did someone just say he's one of our better players??? Hes one of the not good enough players in my eyes been rubbish for 2 season and a poor start to this one! Poor passer, awful first touch that means his 2nd touch is a tackle, no speed out the blocks since his knee injury! only disguised by the fact he gets the odd goal and is seen as a decent return from midfield, if we are even being offered half of the 1.5m reported then we go to sell for that money!! Think a new challenge would do him good! Not a patch on the player of old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I echo wat Nogbad said, i will be sad to see him go but a lot less at 1.5 mill. Thats a very decent price.. Remember all that interest from Wolves back when Marv was actually good on a regular basis? The bids back then were only 1.5 - 2 mill so to sell him for around that now when he's not really that good would be nice bit of business IMO.

I just think for that type of player, proven Champ player it's a steal. I mean, Do you think you could find many players who would give you 45 games at this level week in week out and pop up with some goals for £1.5m? I'll go with Nogbads evaluation he talks sense, and sees city play where as I've not been at the Gate for over a 18 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think we would do well to get 800k odd. Been a good player for us- especially in his first season and last season when he weighed in with quite a few goals. Maybe time for a change with his deal up next summer.

Mad Cyril Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Elliott would do great for you in his correct position as defensive central midfielder without any involvement in the offensive play except on set pieces and offensive runs into the box Common mistake - Elliott is NOT an effective defensive midfielder - sliding around with Inspector Gadget style long legs never achieved much. A good defensive midfielder possesses a strong competency to predict the play and stop it building, as well as come take the ball off his own back 4 and play simple short balls to better gifted players. Marvin has been far more effective supporting the loan striker with late runs into the box. As many shots/headers (on and off target) as any player we have.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 He used to be decent- first half to a season he was immense as Mr Gow and others have said. So lacking technically whenever I've seen him- put it this way he lacks a certain amount of finesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
