You could tell playing as fullback was not his natural game. Lua Lua exploited his defensive naivety.

Your judging him on the basis of one game?
Your post reads like someone who's wet behind the ears rather than a seasoned old b*gger.

I can only base my judgement on todays game as I know nothing about him other than we have apparently offered £3m for him.

Let us help you out. He is a winger who had to play as a full back today.
But surely when you scouted, you watched a player more than once.
But surely you realise that one game, where he was played out of position, is not enough to determine whether he's any good or not? Yet you have said you think £3m is too much for him.
I think we're both hastily jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Yes I did but first impressions stick and have to be removed.

Absolute crap.
As Hughton & LVG have shown, probably best not to play players heavily linked with a move. At the moment the poor lad is in one of those infamous holes in Lancashire dreaming of playing with King Kayal, breathing the sea air & not being part of a relegation dog fight. Judge him when he's happy!
WTF are you talking about now?
If you had been asked to scout Marshall, and this was the first time you'd seen him play, I'd expect you to note that he hasn't done well as a full back, but not pass much comment on his ability as a winger. If you were told that as a winger he gets a good number of assists and scores a bit too, I'd expect you to look forward to seeing him play as a winger, not file your report (or even pass comment) that he's not worth £3m.

Don't wait for me!
Played way out of position, showed his frustration at the end. His shot was great and passing was pretty good so I hope the deals not dead.
You have been charged nothing for this piece of scouting.

Quite.
Great point and yes, this is what we want.

You are so right Hugo, I also said to my friend he is not happy playing for this team, but he did enough to convince me that we need to get him.
Cannot believe that Blackburn had to play a winger at right back, and did not have a spare defender to play that position. Were the chicken sxxx farmers hoping that we would lose interest in him if he had a mediocre game ?

They had two players taken ill the night before the game, Adam Henley and Jason Lowe. Henley is a full back and Lowe is a midfielder who can fill in at full back. That is why Marshall had to play fullback. They only named 6 subs so I am guessing they only had a squad of 19 players travel down.

Exactly I would watch him a few times if there was interest to form an opinon. My point is that when generally just scouting for nobody in particular just looking for talent if the first impression is poor you wouldnt follow it up.
This is what happened - unfair to judge him on the basis of his performance yesterday.
