Marquis for sale?

[mattco]

According to some press reports Rovers would let John Marquis go for £750,000.  That seems cheap for a young successful striker.

[keith79]

missed a '0' off that

[DearneValleyRover]

Apparently Barnsley have made that bid today

[Alan Southstand]

Absolute garbage.

It would cost us more than that to get someone in who was equally as good, if not better.

How does anyone know what we are prepared to do? We can't even find out if a certain player is playing until we arrive at the ground!

We simply are not that stupid. And I believe we'll hold onto him - why wouldn't we?

[DearneValleyRover]

The bid however is genuine Alan

[GazLaz]

Who the f**k in their right mind would pay 750 for a player who has had plenty of goes in L1 and never really had any success? Why didn't they sign him 9 months ago for free? If I was a manager I wouldn't embarrass myself by throwing money around like that. I'd sell him for that money.

No bids received and he's going nowhere;

Be rumours set off by Plymouth manager lol

[Dutch Uncle]

Thanks SM

Looks like an interesting summer ahead - let's hope it is for good reasons with incoming surprises rather than outgoings.

[goalkick]

At last some sense from sm.

Exactly what you would expect Fergie to say. Means nothing. If John wants to play championship football next year, he'll go. Simple as that.

The bid however is genuine Alan

Yet Fergie says no bids have been received? Did someone tell you but not him DVR? Or did it arrive after he gave his press conference? Or maybe they just dreamt about making it? More info is required here.

Are we in talks about a New Contract for him

They speak to the player before they speak to the club in most circumstances.

It came today so Freepress and SM wouldn't be aware

No he won't. He has a year left on his contract and the price has to be right.

[PDX_Rover]

f**king dingles. Six figures is a lot of adding up for them... the extra finger has its advantages I suspect.

[DearneValleyRover]

It's a bid, no where is it stated that the club have excepted or that Jon wants to go

[MEGA1879]

It's on the Dingles site😠

Patrick Cryne is seriously ill and is having nothing to do with the running of Barnsley at the minute. The CEO resigned several months ago and hasn't been replaced. So who will be allowed to dip into the Barnsley piggy bank?

Don't be so naive. If he wants to go he will go.

Riiiiiiiight. Ok. Contracts and getting a fair price mean nothing. If his head is turned then we won't let him go cheaply. Nothing naive at my end. FACT.

[Rovers91]

I think he will sign a new contract this summer, it's the first time he's settled at a club and played regular I think he will have common sense to stay with us and try and push on next season with the club.

Load of bull Gaz!! He cant just go because he wants to go he is under contract for F@£%s sake.
As I have said previously regarding this speculation, we are looking to get to the same level as all the clubs quoted as being interested, we have no need to sell as we are financially stable and I believe that John himself would be happy to get to the Championship with Rovers if possible.
I think we should offer him a three year extension to his current deal on a much improved salary maybe with a clause stating that if we haven't achieved promotion to the championship by the end of the second year of his contract then he can leave if the price is acceptable to the board.
I believe that would put an end to any speculation!!

Why would it, we got  him for nowt last summer.

[tommy toes]

I spoke to JM a few weeks ago. Believe me he is extremely happy here and wants to stay.
