Speculationish Tyler Robert’s and Jack Marriott

[Stranded]

At 30, Jack Marriott really wouldn’t be a great piece of business for £500k and whatever wages he’d be on.

What’s happened to us signing younger League One standard players with potential to develop?

At the very least a Sam Smith-style signing where he still have three or so years at their peak left in them and some potential resale value.

The key to building a squad is not signing just players who are young and may attract a decent sell on value - you need to add to that with the odd player who will do a job now and will have little to no sell on value - I'm not saying Marriott is the right signing (if it happens) but spending money on an experienced player in a position of need makes sense.

We may "lose" 500k on him but if he helps a player elsewhere shine i.e. then that may raise their market value by double or triple what we paid for them, it makes sense.

hark at Peter Risdale over here

Mr Risdale please.

Noel saying a couple of deals have been agreed "to a certain extent" but nothing before tomorrow.

Brogue & ITK's any ideas?

still nothing on my side. Twitter is awash with Marriott talk so he's the most likely i guess. As soon as i get any news i will update.

Most Wrexham outlets seem to think we are the favourite for Marriott. Think this may end up being the senior striker.
