Surely a youngster from one of the Premiership teams on loan for a season would be better???

Malpas said he wanted players that wanted to play for Swindon Town. Obviously Betsy didn't, why push for him when he was in two minds. Marshall is desperate for a chance, at least he wants to prove him self and give it his all.

betsy would rival jpm for a starting place.marshall would be lucky to make the bench.we need players already good enough imo, as we have a load of youths that are nearly good enough already.why add another nearly player?

I agree with Mr. Arriba. I still think a loan will suffice for now.

I also agree. Thought he showed glimpses of potential and pace v Portsmouth, but a "Kaid" level rather than anything better . Didn't see him in the Hampton game though
Loan is the way I reckon

I think he would be one to sign with a view to him not being a first team regular but acting as cover and developing and to become a first team regular next season

I don't think MM had doubts about signing him, for the sort of money he'd cost in wages, I just think that the Heaven's to Betsy signing was first choice in that RM slot. I'm guessing Fitz will be getting a call now that ones goen tits up.

Yea, you could've told Malpas so he would have had time to get someone else...that's just selfish keeping it to yourself

It was money. He waited for whoever offered the most.

Of course it was - hence the umming and arghing - you can't blame him although I'm glad the club didn't go desperate and offer him more for the sake of making a signing.

But that's the point isn't it? He knows that we tried to sign Betsy and are now after Marshall. Just knowing that has presumably given him the kick up the jacksy he needed.
