Ben Marshall

I've seen a million and one opinions of him on various forums and everybody is saying this. Plus I have mates who are Stoke fans aswell as a Wednesday supporting mate and the guy who supports Wednesday said he was their best player during his time there.

Everyone says he's in the Nugent mould rather than the Stewart/Zaha type mould.

The kind of player that'll run his socks off and put a good shift in defensively while still knowing how to make a pass and beat a man.

A young Robert Snodgrass if you will. Plenty of potential and a bargain under 1m.

 

Better value for money and the he's more of the type of player we'll need.

We don't want luxury players who'll throw in the towel when the going gets tough. We want young, hungry, hard working players like Marshall.

 

Fair enough if that's your opinion. Although it would appear you are implying Stewart is one of 'those type' of players, which he isn't. He doesn't really defend as Marshall may do but he certainly doesn't throw in the towel when the going gets tough. He has a lot of self-belief and at any point in a game is willing to take men on and make the oppositions back 4 look like fools regardless of how the game is going.

 

I'm not saying he is.

I'm saying we have enough luxury players as it is in King, Gally, Beckford ect.

We need some real grafters at the club.

 

I think if they were the same price, NP would go for Stewart, purely because he knows him better. But since Stewart would cost us four times the amount, I know which I'd prefer.

 

We need more pacey players as apart from Lloyd Dyer no one can keep up with Beckford and Nugent

 

If they was both at the same price, then its a tough one but i would edge towards Stewart purely because he has played in the championship

 

Marshall isn't raw pace. Neither is Nugent. They just both put themselves about a hell of a lot.

 

No but Nugent isnt slow

 

No of course not. Neither is Marshall.

But he's no Lloyd Dyer who's main attribute is pace.

 

I wish we didnt get rid of Dany N'Guessan, on his day he was unstoppable but when it wasnt he was pretty useless. But he was still a very good player to have. Nigel used him very well and he scored 6 goals as a bit part player

 

I would quite like us to sign Ince from Blackpool - looks a good player! And Danny N'guesan was a tank on his day!

 

I would love for leeds to be in for him then if thats the case. (although snodgrass isn't old by any stretch of the imagination)

 

I'm not saying Snodgrass is old.

But they both share the same sort of characteristics and Marshall is 20.
