CalgaryDon Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 He looks like a physical type. Tall and apparently lightening fast. Could be our Simon Church 2.0. He's available on a free at the end of the season so if he is any good he might be a permanent feature for us. I'm looking forward to seeing him play tomorrow and hope he can put in a good performance. 2 Link to comment
SGlosReds Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Bristol City fan here who also watches lots of the SPFL on the box. I think Marley will be a good signing. He is quick, can play anywhere across the forward line, decent in the air, physical and plays for the jersey. He has been unlucky at City that he has been competing with 5m + strikers like Nakhi Wells, Bobby Reid and Famara Diedhou over past 3 years. Given that most defences in the SPFL will be below Championship standard I think he can be a decent performer. Hope so as I've always had a soft spot for AFC. 2 5 Link to comment

His name does sound like a Rastafarian paedo though. Fucking hell - Vernon Watkins was his grandad? In the context of that braindead interview, that is freakin bizarre news. Mibbe he just affects verbal retardation out of modesty. Link to comment

My post wasn't intending to imply Simon Church was Tall or fast. Rather highlighting Simon Church was on loan during our last striker injury crisis. He's also welsh and comes from the English Championship. I'm hoping he can replicate Church's goalscoring form while on loan to Aberdeen. Link to comment

He has some of the strangest mannerisms (constantly licking his lips) and he actually does sound a bit like Frank Spencer. Loves to start a sentence with yeah.

If you read comments from various Norwich fans on Twitter, to put it mildly, they’re not so diplomatic & complimentary. I suppose zero goals on 24 games would have that effect? I do wish the lad well. i just don’t think he’s what we need at all. We need an out & out centre forward. 1 Link to comment

Yes Norwich fans hated him, we heard all that when we signed him. However, Barnsley fans loved him. Sometimes players click at a certain club. I just have a feeling Marley will do really well for you, I hope so anyway. Winning goal at Ibrox anyone?? 1 Link to comment
alscotoz Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Tall strikers? Never liked. Until YouTube video was put up thought his name implied he was a black guy. Good luck though ? Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Don't like McInnes' strategy of going back in for players who've turned us down... hasn't worked out well in the past. Hopefully this time is different. Link to comment

Having spent time in Scotland and played and scored in a SFA Cup final I'm sure he knows all about the size and ambition of Aberdeen. I'm sure he is excited about joining the club. 1 Link to comment
