    ... Robert Koren?

    I remember when Koren signed for Hull I was personally very dissapointed, he plays that role in behind the striker very well and notches in some lovely and important goals for Hull, just as he had done for a long time for WBA.

    But after seeing Marshall play the last 3/4 games in the same position I can say with a bit of confidence that Ben will be a brilliant player and will be better than the Slovenian.

    I think we should be building the side around the lad and I can see great success (maybe an England call-up) if he continues as he has done.

    He is a fantastic player and has a lot of the right attributes for a midfielder: good close control, strong in possession, strong tackler and a fantastic foot! All very promising. Id love to see him play alongside a fully fit and at his best Andy King - could be lethal!

    good signing though and will only get better.

    he could do with adding a yard of pace and an ability to beat a man one-on-one, but so far i have been very impressed.

    He plays that role well and it's evident he possesses a good football brain. He got himself into good positions vs Forest but I still wanted more in terms of a final decisive pass. In future, he could play that No. 10 role but in the short term, I feel we'll see him operate more as a winger.

    He's 20 and he's as good as he is now.

    If he continues then he'll be in the PL before long.

    Very good prospect. Marshall, King and Drinkwater will be great players for us in years to come
