Marlon in the Champions League

[JJ-AV]

Liked Marlon but he was absolutely shit and no doubt a disasterous signing.

Yes he scored a few important goals, but so has Emile Heskey. Take away Marlon's rampant beating of the chest whenever he won a corner and he'd be on similar levels of hate as Big Ivanhoe.

Atrocious piece of business and, as nice a bloke he was, the quicker he's gone and vacates the number 9 shirt the better.

[TheSandman]

At the end of which match did Harewood and Young/Gabby (?) fall out somewhat when the latter would not pass to the former when running in on goal?

I thought that was Gabs and NRC?

[Legion]

I'm sure it was Marlon F. Harewood.

[Risso]

I'm sure it was Marlon F. Harewood.

It was.

[hawkeye]

Harewood is just one in the long list of our Martins transfer fuck ups in fact you can put a team together from them
Carson
Beye
Knight
Davies
Shorey
Sidwell
Downing
Routledge
Salifou
Harewood
Heskey
 now that is a relegation team, even worse than DOL put out-

When did he ever play this team?  

The answer is never.  

I will allow you Salifou and Routledge as players that haven't really worked out but hardly cost a kings ransom did they?  It's too early to write off Downing and the rest who are still on the books we will get something back for our outlay should we decide to sell.

But hey, why bother putting some balance to MON's acquisitions when you can take only the negative and use it as this week's stick to beat him with.

And how many are in the first team now? Downing who thats all and he shouldnt be based on his 30 performances, i think there are 11 sticks to beat him with here 11 signings in 4 years that are not good enough according to the manager that bought them, this is some transfer history

It was Gabby and I'm pretty sure it was the 2-0 win over Everton at VP in Sep 2007.

[Greg N'Ash]

There's this myth that he was a back up striker. You don't spend 5m and 27k a week on a back-up. Salifou is back-up, Kevin Phillips was back up, MFH was brought in to challenge the first teamers and failed miserably

 now that is a relegation team, even worse than DOL put out-

Davies was a success, but lost his place when he got injured.

Downing hasnt had yet a full season with Villa, he missed preseason.

Heskey is going to S Africa, we bought him for 3.5m, how bad a signing can he be? And many clubs are interested in him.

Knight had some decent performances and was sold for almost 5m.

Salifou, Routledge and Carson didnt cost us anything.

And we will probably get our money back for Shorey.

That leaves us with Beye, Sidwell and Harewood. Now that's not a long list..

[Dave]

Salifou, Routledge and Carson didnt cost us anything.

Depressingly, those three cost us over £3m in transfer fees alone, before you even start on wages.

[tommy_boy]

routledge cost us 1.25m and was sold for 600k to qpr.
salifou's wages our like 5k per week.
and carson was on loan.

[JJ-AV]

Knight was a good signing, he was pretty solid overall, happy to sit on the bench, scored some important goals and had some 'big' performances and we made a profit on him.

He was one of us too, he was always given unfair stick because he was seen as one of the reasons Cahill left and was immediatly placed in the MFH bracket. Decent player.

[Dave]

routledge cost us 1.25m and was sold for 600k to qpr.
salifou's wages our like 5k per week.
and carson was on loan.

Carson was a loan which cost us a loan fee of £2m.

[PaulWinch again]

We spent a horrible fee and wages on Marlon. We never should have, but in his defence he always gave his best and never complained. M'ON was just completely wrong and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

You call £9mil for him a success
Downing hasnt had yet a full season with Villa, he missed preseason.
This arguement is a bit tired, he played 30 games, he did nothing at boro the previous 2 seasons £12mil, marvelous

Heskey is going to S Africa, we bought him for 3.5m, how bad a signing can he be? And many clubs are interested in him.
Says who, 3 goals

Knight had some decent performances and was sold for almost 5m.


Salifou, Routledge and Carson didnt cost us anything.
They did £2mil on Carson

And we will probably get our money back for Shorey.
Probably what about his wages?

That leaves us with Beye, Sidwell and Harewood. Now that's not a long list..

yes keep trying to justify his transfers, MON can do no wrong zzzzz

I thought so too - on more than one occasion.
