    I would say no.

    In the 2011-12 season he did not play in the last 19 matches. Watford managed to score 28 goals which is nearly 1.5 in each game. Before he left he played in all 26 of 27 league matches where Watford scored 25 goals, Marvin scored 8 of these goals. Allowing his substitution in the first half against Doncaster Rovers and playing only a few minutes against Hull, when Watford had already finished scoring their goals and two goals in the match he missed I think trying to bring him back would be wrong.

    The team managed better in statistics when he was not there. The club had a bad start which can not be said to be Marvins fault but the results did get better after he went.

    Was he the weak point in the team and in leaving allowed Troy Deeney and Chris Iwelumo to find out what they were really able to do? I think the answer is that he was.

    I am beginning to think that Bolton brought his as preparation for the Championship - they will get rid of their high wage Prem players and bring MS on.

    Better balance without, he needs a different setup to flourish and move on.

    this for sure.

    Definitely no thanks. We're a better team without him...i think if Bolton had stayed up he may have been back on loan, now that they're in the Championship, i can't see it, and thank goodness for that!

    No thanks. Ever since he scored his first goal for England u21's he's been lazy and selfish. Plus more improtantly, Deeney has found his shooting boots and has been scoring goals since Sordell was sold, we wouldn't want to disrupt that would we.

    Fair play that was a cracker of a goal though !! If you are talking about his goal at the vic for the U21 (the second in the vid). Now that Bolton are in the Championship why would they want to loan him back?

    Personally I wouldn't want him back although I rate him. Yes he was lazy at times, that pen he missed against Leeds really annoyed me, but he is still a talented goal scorer. When he left I though we might get relegated, I was so chuffed to be proved wrong. Time to move on for all concerned. One of our attributes is our work ethic, not much room for lazy talents EVER !!

    Oh and I'd like to add that I hope he doesn't turn into D. Sturridge part 2. Apparently he has a bit of an ego, not really going to help you in the long run, unless you are CR7 ! <whistle>
