Yellowbeagle 0 Posted October 13, 2008 It wasnt really Glen Roeders fault here, Peter Grant signed Marshall for what was large fee for norwich in excess of £1m and he''s a good goal keeper in his own right. But GR got a decent offer for Joe Lewis who wasnt going to get in ahead of Marshall, I guess you could say that someone (i.e Peter Grant) should have got in a more short term replacement to cover a season until Lewis was ready (he could have been loaned out in this time), then we could have spent the money on an outfield player. Then again maybe they feel that Jed Steer is better than Lewis and who knows if we had had different keeper other than Marshall last season we may have been relegated.

Hairy Canary 668 Posted October 13, 2008 There are a few points to make here if this is true.Peterborough saw that Lewis was worth £400k and that they could make a fat profit very quickly. How come they could see it and we could''ntIf it was a matter of developing Lewis'' carear at a lower league, why did''nt we loan him to Peterborough our any of the other interested clubs? If Marshall is better than Lewis how come nobody is looking to bid £2m for him?We have an aging second rate keeper on our bench who is putting no pressure on Marshall for his place.

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Lewis may become better than Marshall, but currently I think Marshall has the edge, the problem is we had already outlayed the money on Marshall and Norwich were not going to take a loss on him in such a short period as there is no way a 1.5m keeper is going to sit on the bench behind a 19 year old.We arnt sure that anyone is going to pay 2m for him yet, the papers say alot of things that never come true.

Personally, I blame Grant - the season before we had about 5 loan ''keepers (Warner, Marshall, Camp, Ashdown etc) and not once did he give Joe a chance in the first team. Wolves did it with Hennessy and now they have a £5m rated goalkeeper. I''m slightly biased, but I do think he will go on to be a fantastic Premier League keeper.

[/quote]yeah, and lets not forget the boy bounced back well from a horrific head injury sustained on loan - those type of injuries can unnerve players especially if you are a goalkeeper and have to dive at on-rushing players feet,,,i was very surprised to see lewis go last year, and all the more cos we seemed to do jack with the money we got in the jan window...
