Marshall going for £1.85m according to the agent's mouth piece.

Not a chance.

Telegraph reporter Sharpe now saying it's 'as you were' with regards to incoming transfers.

What does that even mean?

Why not just say that Venkys aren't allowing him to sign anyone?

I wonder who will do well out of this deal?

Wolves - yes - get a Championship standard player at a knock down price

Paul Lambert - yes - gets a player he knows well

Ben Marshall - yes - gets to move to a real club on more money

Ben Marshall's agent - yes - cut of the transfer deal

Giles Barnes - yes - gets a route back into English football

Giles Barnes' agent - yes - gets a cut of the deal

Owen Coyle - yes - gets rid of another problem and might get a chance to use the dosh to sign his mates

Venkys - yes - another £200k or so in the bank and another £200k saved in wages

Mike Cheston - yes - helps with the balance sheet

Blackburn Rovers Football Club? - almost certainly no - another player down - one of the few good enough for this division - unlikely to see the money reinvested - whilst replaced by inferior quality and almost certain relegation ahead.

Edit - forgot to mention Paul Senior - who has already proved his worth to the organisation by quickly getting this sorted out and some cash in the bank - well worth it.

He's had Barnes primed and ready since he walked through the door. Jobs for his agent pals nothing else just like the Feeney and Brown farces they were in the min the goon got his feet under the desk the club just spun it along.

Barnes might offer more than Marshall short term but he'll turn out to be another dud before long. Marshalls gone off the boil but in losing him we lose our best right sided midfielder/left winger/right back all at once. There'll be a scatter gun scrabble around to use whatever they are allowed to of his 15k pwk no doubt tied up on free transfer crap on 2 year deals.

Marshalls departure will take the incoming fees since Cairney was shunted to c30 million. We are being shafted good and proper again and Coyle is in it up to his bat ears.

So Barnes & Ba... how inspiring. Also, not a chance Marshall's gone for 1.85 million.

Don't worry, the self-deception has already begun in earnest from Parson & co.

Good riddance to another talented player who's lost patience with the club. I'm sure his replacement will be top-notch!

This window has been crazy for prices. Villa have overspent for 2 players out of contract in the summer. 4 mil for Lansbury and 3 mil for Houllire from Barnsley.

Dont know much about Ba. Barnes has played for Coyle so I can understand that one. Look good on Youtube. But its MLS and the championship is very competitive and nothing like he been playing in.

We need a right back in, keeper and pacey striker still. Only expect a right back to be signed

If they are the 2 no marks we are after signing then id rather we didnt bother.

Barnes is terrible, hes not gonna play right back so hes more of a downgrade of Emnes.

And Ba is a no mark who will need to settle, if our manager knew what he was doing we could get through with Greer alongside Mulgrew for a couple of weeks until Hoban is back, or alternatively sign someone who can come straight in.

We need a right back, Caddis has just been released by Birmingham and I'd rather have him than see Nyambe floundering around, well out of his depth.

Coyle needs to go before he signs any more crap.

Wish it was Ashley Barnes as he's decent.

Instead it's Giles Barnes, former league one Doncaster failure.

Shows how much I care these days... but yeah, Ashley Barnes, Giles Barnes, Barnes and Noble... we're @#/? whoever it is.

Rather Mahoney play than Barnes come in. Least you are Guarenteed effort and the possibility that he might get better plus have games under his belt and experience ready for league 1. Same with nyambe if the towel has already gone in. Don't be surprised to see Marshall scoring wonder goals at wolves and premier league interest this time next year
