William Darby 0 Posted May 12, 2009 [quote user="Mister Chops"][quote user="Old Shuck"]Did Marshall ask for a transfer/put in a transfer request?If not, don''t we have to pay his contract up?[/quote]No, Cardiff bought him from us, no doubt using a release clause in his contract.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted May 12, 2009 Gotta laugh at the ''worst keeper in our history'' comments.How long have you people been watching Norwich? 2 weeks?! Well, it''s either that or you''re just plain stupid.Shame to see Marshall go. He''d have been easily the best ''keeper in League 1, and would undoubtedly have been more solid once we''d sorted out that shambles of a defense. I doubt there''s a ''keeper in the country who''d look very solid behind that back 4.He got a lot of very unfair stick. I''ve been watching Norwich a little bit longer than two weeks and have savoured many fine keepers. Of those the regular, established keepers have been Keelan, Woods, Gunn, Marshall, Green for the last 40 odd years. The only one he could get near is his namesake and he is an awful long way behind the other four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes, he''s nowhere near the other four you name. But then, it''s harsh to say he''s the worst keeper in our history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Cardiff City to sign Norwich City goalkeeper David Marshall (Action Images / Paul Redding) David Marshall Times Online Norwich City have accepted a six-figure bid from Cardiff City for David Marshall, the Scotland goalkeeper. Marshall was one of Norwich''s best performers as the club slipped to relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time since 1959-60. The 24-year-old expressed his desire to move on to preserve his international career. "We can confirm we have agreed a fee with a Championship club for David Marshall, but there is nothing further to add at this stage," a Norwich statement read. "When we have anything more to announce, we will announce it." Peter Ridsdale, the Cardiff chairman, has since revealed it is the Welsh side who have made the offer. After appearing for Scotland B last week, Marshall said: "I want to play at the highest level as quickly as I can. If a club came in, I would be silly to turn it down and stay in a lesser league but the right move has got to come up. "Norwich need to be happy to let me go as well, so it''s out of my hands a little bit." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ 0 Posted May 12, 2009 A good deal for everyone. Marshall wasn''t going to play in Lge 1 with his international ambitions, we need the cash, Cardiff need a keeper, everyone''s a winner. Lets get a solid, experienced number one in now and put Rudd on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhalsimsrightfoot 0 Posted May 12, 2009 [quote user="crab"]Good riddance. Worst keeper in our history. Probably the one player who contributed most to our relegation.[/quote]i think Paul Gallacher, Paul Crichton and Simon Tracey would have something to say about that!!he has had a poor season but had the odd good game - he pretty much won the 3 points against forest by himself. definately time to go though, i think he has potential to be a quality keeper but almost didn''t seem bothered in some games for us when the sh!t started to hit the fan. he also seemed to get nutmeged pretty much every time he found himself in a1 on 1 situation which was very frustrating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do me a favour![/quote]Simon Tracey I will give you was worse, but only here on loan if memory serves. The keepers you mention along with the other Marshall form the vast majority of the years that I have followed City, and it''s not that he''s not as good as those you mention, he''s not even remotely anywhere near them. God knows we have always needed a reliable keeper as a Norwich keeper is always likely to be busy. I may have a mental block regarding Hansbury or Benstead as I cannot remember either playing many games.Ok give me your opinion, even if he couldn''t kick straight and went on to become a scummer, which Marshall would you take? I would take Andy Marshall over David Marshall, and believe he was only at the minimum standard we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bungay Canary 0 Posted May 12, 2009 andy turncoat marshall was twice the keeper of his name sake ,the bloke was a joke never gets off his line from corners ,doesnt dominate his six yard box ,distribution poor other than saving some good shots what did he ever do . those of us who went to charlton found out in the first half hour fxxx all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chappers 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I always think marshall looked nervous or lacking confidence. Good shot stopper but poor at collecting crosses and commanding his area. No great loss if you ask me. We need all the cash we can get now anyway. Serious squad rebuilding has to be done. Clingan to go next I reckon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted May 13, 2009 [quote user="lincoln canary"][quote user="jas the barclay king"] dont agree that we dont see other keepers mistakes.. we see 23 other keepers at Carrow Road every week... none make the howlers that Marshall doesand with TV being everywhere in the Premiership and Championship mistakes will be highlighted.Nelson not being up to it doesnt wash with me either... people think Marshall is "good" purely because he once played for Celtic, conversely people think Nelson is "bad" because he played over 100 games for Leyton Orient....the same Leyton Orient who could well finish above us next season... Nelson knows this division, yes he is fiery and has had a run in with the Swindon fans that came back to bite him on the arris but he is an experieanced keeper who knows how physical this league will be and will be able to advise his defenders accordingly..Marshall would just mooch around the box pretending to care.. like the fat kid at school he makes no effort and occasionally does something good... litter picking is more his thing.jas :)[/quote] you dont know what your talking about mate! i speak regulary with a brentford fan who sais he is awfull. very escentric and cannot catch for toffee.marshall is a quality young keeper who will only improve, his shot stopping is superb and considering a position in the league our goals against aint that terrible - why do you think that is?[/quote]yes.. his shot stopping is so superb he pushed the ball out to Burton against Charlton for them to score..theres more to Goalkeppeing then just shot stopping, distribution, command of the penalty area, using your voice and the ability to come for the ball are all skills a keeper needs.If playing in goal was standing there and letting the ball hit you in the face we''d all be goalkeepers wouldnt we?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted May 13, 2009 I thought Marshall was ok but nothing exceptional as a goalkeeper and so I''m not too upset at his departure. Replacing him will be the least of our problems, as there are plenty of good ''keepers out there. I''m sure that finding good defenders, midfielders and strikers will be much more difficult for whoever is manager (it will be Gunn, I''m sure). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
