I think we deffo were trying to sign him but Fleetwood then played him when he returned from his loan spell at Carlisle, so he can't play for another club this season
(I think that's the rule!)

If true, don't let Port Vale know  Grin #bants
Makes no Sense in Port Vale signing him

There is an awful lot of re writing of history on here

 For every Marquis fan there was someone who didnt rate him. "We  can do better" " He is not a goal scorer " He misses too many chances"

 Through Collins into the same discussion.Not many argued we should sign him, a few maybe but not the majority. Where is he now?

Bunny was,after his second game constantly vilified on here.Some of the posts became very personal. Now we have let our saviour go! The facts is that he doesn't want to be here and who can blame him.

Now,apparently, its all because of NTFCs decision making and policy.  Please tell me with the split in opinions,  an being example on this board, how on earth are we going to introduce fan ownership. We couldn't and cannot agree between us. The answer I am sure will be but we will employ someone to make these decisions for us.

What do you think the current shareholders did?

Its a messageboard, its all about opinions. Yes there were people who sung Marquis' praises.......at times I thought he looked lazy and couldn't be bothered. As I said earlier I thought Collins was the better and more natural striker.
Bunney as a left back was shocking, as a wing back about average. nothing special but hey, we're fourth division!

There will always be differences in opinions. This is where people air them for all things Cobblers related, from the way the club is being run to the colour of the exit gates.

Don't try and stifle opinion.....this board is already a less populated place than it used to be.....many have left. Others will surely follow.

Keep the debate healthy, reasoned, and non-personal...............

Anyone with an ounce of sense could see we should have signed Marquis, it was an absolute no brainer! He was already something of a club legend in my book, scoring the most important Sixfields goal in history during his first spell and then going on to help us win the league as part of the best team we've had in a generation.

He was young - perhaps still slightly raw when compared to Rico - but already more than good enough to be playing every week and was only ever going to get better. He also made it public that he was desperate to sign for us and was available for nothing!

We literally couldn't lose by signing him, but we ended up with an ageing journeyman in Alex Revell instead and the rest is history.

The single most catastrophic non-transfer in modern NTFC history.

Couldn't agree more but some on here think you needed hindsight or a crystal ball to predict his rise. Maybe they should try another sport?

Joe Bunney's loan to Blackpool has been cut short and he's signed for Rochdale again.

I thought Marquis was a bit of a club legend after his drunken rant about Oxford from the top of the double decker on the Market Square.  Grin

I think Joe Bunney's move is classed as an "Out". It's mentioned on the BBC transfers page as "Northampton to Rochdale"

I wouldn't say so - yes he chased & worked hard whilst here, but no one could see he was going to be a 20 goal a season striker in lg2 let alone lg1 - he hardly set the world alight whilst here. Hindsight as I say is a wonderful thing!

The best thing now would probably be not to sign someone. It would feel a bit desperate and we would probably pay over the top. The money can be better spent.

Loved Marquis the first time, even more so the second time and HE wanted to join us...

Never thought he'd be as prolific as he has been but his workrate & nuisance value was much appreciated by many fans...

Proudly part of the #signjohn campaign too  Cry

Nevermind, we go again!  Grin

I must admit I wasn't so keen on signing Marquis, however I did want to sign James Collins while many thought he wasn't L1 standard, so theyve been proved wrong. Opinions eh

So you honestly thought he'd go on to be a million pound player scoring 20+ goals a season in lg1 Huh???

Bizarre that people seem to spend so much time beating themselves & the club up over decisions taken nearly 3 years ago.

My understanding of the situation is that even if CW had remained as manager, Marquis & Collins would not necessarily have been signed permanently as at the time neither had any serious credentials as league 1 goal scorers.

Clearly the subsequent signings by Page did not fit the bill either but what's gone is gone.

Point is, he was keen to stay. We missed out then, but it was his second loan to us. Thought he showed enough on his first loan to get signed up. Think there are few who would agree that we missed out. I wish him all the best because of his efforts when playing for us.

I believe it was reported that Marquis wanted to stay but thought he went and signed for DR prior to Page's appointment.

You are correct evers - He signed for Sonny before Page was appointed from what I remember
