Well, if that's the case, let's sign Tony Parkes from them. Shouldn't cost any more than £25,000

Blackburn have turned down an improved £3 million bid for Marshall

Nah, he's a professional Northerner, he won't sign...

Help me out here - we've played Blackburn a few times of late and I'm struggling to remember the guy. Can anyone remember his games against us - did he do well/badly/nothing much?
I've liked Murphy since his Motherwell days and I'd be chuffed to see him here, think he is very creative exciting player.

Nope, I did not notice Marshall. Not when we played them or on the Championship highlights. Nothing good or bad.

Reckoned as a skilfull player but not a speed merchant. Fades out a bit as wingers tend to. 7.15 rating last season.
Stats seem to be good. Now we have a second striker, he looks a better bet as an out and out winger, rather than a winger/striker.
Not sure we could do any better? I still like sheer speed though.

PS: I would like to see him play before forming an opinion. How good can he trap a long ball etc.
Reputation for long shots. Not sure if that is what we want as long shots usually miss or are saved.
Ben Marshall had four long shots at the Amex, Two missed, one saves and one blocked. One from a free kick. All early on and then he faded out of the game. Won a foul. No key passes or crosses. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29860092
I think I would prefer Buckley. I Giggs had hamstring problems early in his career and later on he did not have injury problems so I don't think hamstring problems are such an obstacle

Last season Murphy took Clyne to the cleaners against Saints in the cup, also has an excellent cross.
He seems to have a reputation of a speed dribbler. Do you remember Lee Steele? Fast dribble and cross on to Bobby Z's head against the old WimbleDOns if my memory is good (probably not).
Jamie Murphy looks more like the speedy style I like.

F@#k Marshall, save a few million and get Murphy in. He looks the business, albeit in League 1.
This. Much rather we snaffled Murphy than Marshall.
Could not agree more.

Would cost us 5 million+, that may be why.
Greedy but I like it, are we even after Murphy anymore apart from a few mentions on here it has all gone quiet.

Without wanting to sound like perseus, I would love to see Buckley back - and Murphy. We need two wingers.

Offer 1.7 million plus add ons for Murphy, include a nice apartment down by the marina for him and his Mrs, still A million cheaper than Marshall. Job done. Other clubs seem to be so much more able to unsettle players than we can,or are prepared to do. Think Norwich with Bennett, Sunderland with Bridcutt, how they turned the players heads, Surely we can offer Murphy more financially than Sheffield Utd let alone Championship football and provoking the player to slap in a transfer request?
Two for the price of one, makes sense to me, although the way Buckley left still leaves a nasty taste.
