Vincent Tan....aka the corporate raider

Marshall hasn't gone.....yet. If he does go i will be sad as he has been a great servant to the club and at least we get a fee unlike when Heaton went for nothing. Although people have mentioned a fee of 5 million, I think the BBC are reporting an offer of 2.5m up front, plus add ons taking it up to 5m. I don't think that is very attractive for the club, however if it was the full 5m I think the club would accept BUT I really believe Marshall would;t go. 1) because it's Hull 2) he like living down here and his family are settled 3) He sit on the bench.

I'd rather he add to his total of appearances for us , where he has now made the second highest number of League appearances for a City goalkeeper, only behind Tom Farquarson.

At least Digkacoi went today so that's a positive, along with Adeyemi out on loan. So only Macheda and Le Fondre to unload by next week although I think they'll just stay and pick up the wages sadly.

Also worrying is that we appear to be signing Joe Bennett, who is a decent player, but on big wages at Villa apparently, so why are we doing this?

As for our summer signings Gounongbe was a free, and I have no idea what we paid for Zohore or Immers, can't be that much can it? Hows was undisclosed too and I thought he signed of Wigan for about 500k so would have been surprised if it were more than that, but Wikipedia says that Swansea received 250k as a development fee when he went to Wigan as it was 10% of the fee!
The thing about all these fees is we cannot gauge whether we think they are good value or not.

Nobody has come in for Manga either, and I think Pilkington is out of contract next summer. So I would imagine the club will either let him run down his contract and try and get the best out of him this season or he'll be gone next week or in January if we get an offer too.

I just hope by next Thursday that Marshall is still a City player.

We already look like relegation fodder so please stay Marshall.
