Close to a deal. 26 goals last season for Doncaster at 24 years old. ideal move for all involved except Donny fans and their almighty wisdom, he'd never even consider lowering himself ya know!
Different to what we have already have. Will be a good addition I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's from a rumour account on twitter. Same account said on 3rd July that we were going to announce McBurnie in the 'coming days'.
I would welcome that signing. Some of my mates from Donny who support Rovers really rate him. I will have to listen to Radio Dee Dar if we do sign him. They have a fan who always phones up to slag us off. I'll take great pleasure in listening to him whingeing if that deal does go through.!
Very hard grafter by all accounts. His goal record at this level in the past has left a little to be desired mind. But (if true) in Hecky we trust ️ Sent from my WAS-LX1A using Tapatalk
As much as I'd love this to happen I'm pretty sure it's all ********. I think he's just high on most fans wish lists. I rate him massively as I've stated before on here. Natural finishers are worth their weight in gold.
Derek the Donny Dong . Heard him in the past . What have we done to upset him ? Apart from being better than them of course .
No it won't be him ,he never slags us off. I'll bet it's Brian The Blade he's always harping on about signing Marquis, would bust his gut if he signed for us and not them ,especially if he turned them down. Oh please let it be true ,just for that
All I can find on him is... Transfer Centre Live @TransferCentreL 3h3 hours ago Doncaster Rovers have rejected a bid from Mansfield Town for striker John Marquis
It'll be interesting to see how he does at this level if it does happen. Got a few friends who support Donny and they've all said he's a grafter though. Sent from my iPhone using Barnsley FC BBS Fans Forum
sounds like another rumour without much substance to me. Hope I'm wrong like. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk
I work in Donny and happen to know ALL their fans. There's Derek, Malcolm and Big Roy who occasionally takes his wife too, boosting their home attendance to 4. Seriously though, I have joked with a few that we're on the verge of signing Marquis, and they hate it. Not just thought of losing him, but losing him to us, the 'bigger club' (which I mention probably a bit too often).
Yes would be a coup . So which Donny fan am I thinking of . Their version of Bushey the Millers fan .
Ah so you know Big Roy too They would hate it and that's possibly why I want it to happen Seems weird us being labelled the bigger club, doesn't happen too often, does it?
I get what you're saying but he'd hardly be a coup. He ought to be banging Fergusons door down insisting on a move to us . One decent season in the forth division that's all he's done .
That's him Derek. He sets their standards to either match or better Barnsley's. Flattering but quite sad really.! Always phones Praise or Grumble when they win. Conspicuous by his absence when they lose. He's like la de da Gunner Graham re- "we're gunna do this or we're gunna do the other". With four games to go he was on every night " we're gunna win the Championship etc etc". They lost their last four and finished third behind Pompey and Plymouth.!
