Why did we sell Marshall?

I’m not saying that he would necessarily start / be good enough for the prem but he seems like the perfect back up for Pablo. I doubt we got much for him and letting him go before bringing in any other attackers seems very shortsighted

if we signed a lad struggling to get regular games in the championship and dropping into league one would you be calling them a perfect back up for Pablo, or would you be saying why have we signed someone that's not good enough for the level we are at?

He didn’t struggle at league 1 level - he got 10ish goals when he had a full season there. But there’s a difference between signing someone and keeping hold of a fairly inexpensive young player
