Given the very vast majority of our youth players never make it anywhere of note, surely the right thing to do is bite anyone's hand off if they offer money for them?
As for the argument that they haven't been given a chance - they are not being signed based on current ability, they are being signed as a gamble based on potential in several years time. It's what clubs further up the chain do with their Elite programs - hoover up anyone with a sniff of a chance, because they can afford to stock pile- when one of the 1000 they go for pays off, they rake in savings (see what Ibrahimovic is currently likely to costa club for one year). Even players like Byrne are treated this way by clubs like Wolves - big money for us, a bit of a punt for them. If Byrne can't make the team at Wolves, I'd imagine Marshall will about 80th in line at Weds.

Cheers. Would like to see him given a run at some stage so we can all make an informed opinion on him. |

Out of contract in the summer, so as mentioned above somewhere, maybe his decision.
Should have had more of a chance this season with all the injuries we've had.

Probably being touted about by his agent after being told he is unlikely to get another contract here. |

We tried that with a certain striker and half the people still think he might come good, despite seeing precise what he can do. |
