The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 27, 2011 According to this website the general feel is we need a recognised goalscorer to play along side Holt?So the 2 names I''m giving you are Marlon King of Conventry or Lee Hughes Of Notts County both proven at this level but both with a past.Would you want either of them here?

CDMullins 435 Posted February 27, 2011 Hughes no way, no just because hes not good enough but because he killed someone!King im 50-50, hes scoring, we need a goal scorer. Id take him til the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted February 27, 2011 No. The club''s reputation is paramount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted February 27, 2011 No. Also we must rememeber what a great team spirit we have; bringing in one of these players may not only upset the fans but also the players, disrupting the dressing room and causing more harm than good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Allman 1 Posted February 27, 2011 I think that playing with ten players would be preferable to having either of those two in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howson is now! 0 Posted February 27, 2011 [quote user="When Saturday Comes"]Pointless question really.[/quote]It''s not that pointless. It''s interesting to see everyone''s opinions on this. All our fans are banging on about bringing in a proven goalscorer, Marlon King is a proven goalscorer and is still scoring. The question was would you have either of the two players mentioned at the club.It comes down to whether you put the reputation of the club over success. I would rather look elsewhere but when it comes down to it, it''s a results game and Marlon King''s goals could get you the results.In answer to the original poster''s question my answer would be no. One''s not good enough and the other has shown no remorse for his 14 convictions and doesn''t deserve to be in his position in life. I''m all for second chances but 14? Even a cat would be dead 5 chances ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowOne1 0 Posted February 27, 2011 I would take Marlon King in an instant , playing very well for Coventry and putting his chances away .Bad boy yes but Chris Martin is hardly whiter than white and he doesnt score either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Largey 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Although he is a great player at lower level, I don''t think Lee Hughes would be good enough for the Championship. He is slow and is getting on a bit now. Marlon King is good enough for this level, but I don''t think he would fit in well at this club, and I don''t think the fans would take to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]It''s entirely hypothetical because I don''t think we need a recognised goalscorer, what we need is Holt leading the line and our midfield to carry on scoring bags of goals.But in answer to your question - no, and no.

Mister Chops 7 Posted February 27, 2011 King had his contract cancelled by Wigan after being convicted of sexual assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm on 29 October 2009, and being sentenced to eighteen months in prison.Incidentally, found this on the BBC site - he''s not the brightest, is he?Former Premier League footballer Marlon King has said "he will fight tooth and nail" to overturn his conviction for sexually assaulting a woman in a club.

Largey 0 Posted February 27, 2011 I may be entirely wrong, but to me King seems to be a much bigger idiot than Hughes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
