Marshall would be a good backup and cover in January when Etheridge is playing internationals in the Asia cup.

It's not a bad shout mate, but I doubt Marshall is going to want to be playing number 2 now, he's done it for the last 2 seasons.
Can't help but feel a bit sorry for him, it was a terrible move, teams seem to be favouring younger keepers now aswell, maybe he will end up somewhere like Sunderland or Blackburn?
Here's a random stat for you... the average age of a Premier League first choice Keeper last season was 26.
Only 7 teams had a goalkeeper over the age of 30... 2 were relegated, 3 finished in the bottom half with only Leicester (Schmeihcel 31) finishing 9th and Spurs (Lloris 31) finishing 3rd breaking the mould
Of the last 6 teams that went up from the Championship in the last two seasons only one has survived with a goalkeeper who is over 30.
Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle all have goalkeepers under 30, Hull and Middlesbrough both had keepers over 30 and were relegated, the exception is Burnley who had Tom Heaton who was 31.
Incidentally, having changed to a Goalkeeper under 30 this season (due to injury granted), Burnley have had their best season in 44 years and will be in Europe next year

I must admit I dont get all the Etheridge bashing and the clambering for Fabianski. Etheridge did great last year, if performed like that for another team we would be calling him out as a good signing.
For me we invest the money eleswhere
