Gordopolis Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I forgot how long Marshall's been around. Still only early 30s too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Does David Marshall count as someone who "never reached their potential"?Man of the match performance at the Nou Camp at 19 before ending up a Championship standard goalkeeper No. If anything he's a superstar in Scottish terms. Played in the EPL, Scottish international, linked with big money moves a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he had one magnificent match against Barcelona when he was a teen, but so did Tony Watt. I don't think Watt will have half the career that Marshall had. So yes, I do think David Marshall fulfilled his potential. Let's be honest, no one thought that he was going to be the next Peter Schmeichel or anything. I'd say David Marshall made the very most of his relatively limited ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all suffering with broken hearts but there are plenty more fish in the sea. Just as we found a way to move on post-Dryhorce, so too, can we learn to live again PS (post-slayer)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tangled with him on the remarkable 'Brexit will mean we can't play in European Championships' thread and I've been following his P&B career. This thread was referenced elsewhere and it's been well worth a visit. I'm not quite clear about what exactly is going on. Perhaps he'll return in a glorious blaze of telling us all how stupid we are; or perhaps, as you say, it's gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of the match performance at the Nou Camp at 19 before ending up a Championship standard goalkeeper I get what you are saying but Marshall was never really spoken about when he was coming through the youth ranks. He still is an outstanding shot stoppper but lacks any command at all which was always going to hinder him. I am surprised though that he has spent the majority of his career in the championship and and not the premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think he's back at Chelsea, waiting for release and retirement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Can't quite believe that he's still under contract at Chelsea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeJay Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 He 'earned' a new long term deal in 2014, and signed a further contract extension in January 2016. Transfermrkt and Chelsea's wiki say he won't be out of contract until summer 2019 when he'll be turning 24. What a life he must have, banking £10,000 every week (at a guess) for doing square root of f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised though that he has spent the majority of his career in the championship and and not the premiership. For a while he was Scotland's best goalkeeper and was well regarded down south despite playing in a struggling team. I genuinely thought that the likes of Arsenal (who were struggling in the goalkeeper department at this point) should have signed him. At one point both Arsenal and Spurs were interested in signing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he made more Scotland appearances than I would have expected, especially considering he came up during the Shagger/Gordon era. He was always the lesser of those three in terms of talent. I'd definitely say he made more of his talent than Gordon did, although injury had a lot to do with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this talk of Chelsea making a profit out of sending players out on loan - surely they haven't, in his case. They've been paying him for seven years and, forgetting about the amusing 24-hour loans, he's amassed the following: Four months at OFI Crete, Hibs, and Mouscron A month at Swindon Couple of weeks at Blackpool If he's been anything other than a money sink for Chelsea, they must literally have been paying him peanuts, or the aforementioned clubs have undisclosed wealth they're trying to cover up. I'd suggest they could use some better financial advisors, if it's the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest they could use some better financial advisors, if it's the latter. But they're not saying they're making a profit on sending every player out on loan. They send a ridiculous number out, probably a lot of the higher profile ones with monthly fees and/or wage contributions. Those ones will probably subsidise the rest. Decent enough strategy from Chelsea, they can let players develop at other clubs while owning ultimate ownership, either with a view to selling further down the line for more money, or keeping them when they turn out good. Some will work, some won't. Feruz definitely hasn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
