Welcome to the Club John - personally I’m pleased that Joe preferred you as his new number 9 - you’re going to love it here!

He is a replacement in terms of a wage and a squad place. No one knows how it will work out but he should be a definite improvement on both Pitman and Clarke so I cannot understand what is not to like. Don't get me wrong I don't like this signing...I love it! ☺️ Can't understand people saying at 30 his legs have probably gone and yet we have signed older players before. 🤷♂️ Me too "oh Jonny Marquis you are the love of my life..............

Terrific signing, always thought John was a threat whenever he has played against Rovers, believe John and Aaron will form an effective partnership.

Hope he gets his form back here then we’ll all be happy
Will he become Marquis of The Mem? Time will tell.
As with all signings, be it a name or an unknown, it’s for them to come here and prove it.
Repute is about the past. Form is about what’s to come
Fingers crossed

9 goals last season hardly makes him a great signing, he's now only had one good goal scoring season in 3 seasons, it's really anybody's guess if he can rediscover his past form. Personally I'd have felt more confident in Norwood getting the goals. He's scored 33 league goals over the last 3 season, compared to Norwood's 29. He's scored more league 1 goals in his career than Norwood. He's two years younger than Norwood. Probably not much between the player's. Out of interest, why would you be more confident in Norwood getting the goals??? Has he ever scored a lot of goals at League 1 level? He at least gives us a different option. Would have been happy with either of them signing. Exactly, the fact that we’re having this debate, between two very good strikers at this level, is cause for great optimism. We must clearly have a reputation out there now and BS7 seems the place to be! Onwards and upwards UTG!!

Sorry to be slightly negative, but anyone else thinking "not really heard of him, and he's 31? Please don't let him be another pay packet Pittman".

Have to say I'm not seeing the comparison between Pitman and him at all. Totally different fitness levels. Both played for Pompey, both are 30+, that's about all the similarities.

Agreed, it's a bit of a simpleton comparison to make. Ironically a lot of Pompey fans I know were raving about Pitman when we signed him but less complimentary about Marquis. Marquis seems a solid signing to me, as others have said he's not really suffered with injuries consistently scored throughout his career. I mean even recently 1 in 4 or 5 is not shockingly bad if that's the worst he has to offer, and if we can get him playing back to his best then we're laughing.

No. 1) because I have heard of him. 2) because he's 30 not 31. Only just turned 30 to. He'll still be 31 when he plays his last game of his current contract at the end of the 2023/24 season.

I'm not saying he's Pitman, just worried about signing a 30 year old. Ah well, we'll see, happy to watch him bang in more than a few this Season.

Pitman’s always had the body-type that was going to age badly. Not at all surprised he fell off a cliff by 32/33. In reality, 30 is far from over the hill for most players in the modern game who look after themselves properly etc.
