Jack Marriot is 28, nearly 29. He is in his prime years as a footballer and will be in those prime years for the entire length of his contract here.
Bayern just spent £100m on a 30 year old Harry Kane.
Can't believe there is so much fretting over resale value. We already have players with resale value, we've signed players with resale value and we will sign more players with resale value in the next two windows. Manning and Waldron have clearly gone back to our traditional "model" in that regard this season which we are happy with.
Our squad is looking good now but lacking experience, especially upfront, if you want experience you have to sign players with less resale value, it's as simple as that. The Robbo playoff chasing sides were good but also lacked experience and that showed when we couldn't get over the final hurdle (I know there were other factors!).
Marriott has played over 100 Championship games including a fantastic performance in a playoff semi-final. He is probably the most experienced striker available that is happy to fit into our wage budget and can be snapped up with a transfer fee we can afford.
The only thing I will fret about is whether he can stay fit all season, thankfully we can rotate him with Harris and GOD and won't be completely reliant on him every game.
