Apparently they turned down a bid of £2m from Sunderland earlier in the year https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...land-john-marquis-doncaster-interest-16363734
I wouldn’t trust anything a Bristol City fan says. Heads in the clouds. I work with a fair few as well, very fickle. On the subject of Matty Taylor, a Gashead I work with claims City signed him from Rovers to stop their ascent up League One, as City were dropping down the Championship table. They couldn’t bear the thought of the gas overtaking them, and saw Matty Taylor as the catalyst for this unlikely eventuality, so they signed him. This is all very far fetched and goes deep in Bristol rivalry, however if you look at Taylor’s goal scoring record for City it’s pretty abysmal, whereas for Rovers he was firing them in. In terms of KM, who knows? Hard to know what to believe when it comes to City. They do go on about their new stand though and how their ground is now ‘Premiership-ready’, as if this automatically gives them the right to ascend there at all costs. They’re a very hard club to pin down, in terms of identity and their perceived ambition. As for Rovers, they are pessimistic realists, down-at-heel, and their reaction to the Adeboyejo loan was along the lines of ‘great, a non-prolific striker from Barnsley’, poor lad hasn’t even kicked a ball for them yet. I hope Victor bangs in twenty goals for them this season.
That figures untrue according to a guy on their board, he's the SLO as well or something and very in the know with regular contact with their board. He was speaking to the board and relaying information over their new manager a few weeks ago.
Well if he's going to go for £775k I'd be highly surprised given his contract and the fact he knocked in 21 goals in 44 appearances last season. If Moore is worth £3m+ and even isnt proven in this league, then Marquis is worth much more.
10 mths of his contract left, lucky to get a million. Edit. Looks like he's off to Pompey for over a million.
I just can't see this happening or us buying Marquis. He's signed for Pompey so definitely won't be signing for us.
I was only passing on the message. My boss is a Brizzle fan and he told me the grapevine news. His mate is one of the keepers at BC. He’s not one for sensationalism in the main, so I tend to believe him. We’ll see anyway. There’s something though that doesn’t seem right about Moore’s usage in the pre season though imho.
Seems odd there is no mention of his name specifically on their forum though? We ve named loads of players on here some we've got some we haven't. No mention from what I can see.
