The Geordie Journos discuss why the England centre-half 'fits the bill' at St James' Park and why Steve Parish's financial gamble last summer looks to have paid off with the Eagles in the FA Cup final.
Transcript
00:00Palace are in a weaker position this time round because he's got 12 months left on his contract.
00:06Demand Β£70 million last summer was ludicrous really.
00:10But Palace had their reasons and to be fair, again as much as they will lose money on Marquee,
00:15they've essentially kept the captain and they're in an FA Cup final.
00:18So I think if you're asking Steve Parrish if I keep Marquee and that's what happens,
00:22I think he would say yes.
00:23But they take a hit financially because they must be daft if Crystal Palace want to go and demand Β£70 million this summer.
00:3012 months left on his deal, they could have had 12 years left on his deal.
00:36I think naturally there will be an interest there, but that will probably be a transfer saga that maybe plays out
00:41because I think there will be more interest from elsewhere as well, being linked with a lot of clubs.
00:47I know he scored two home goals against the Castle this season, but it fits the profile.
00:52Quick, able to press high with the strikeouts or press high in the midfielders.
00:57Dan Burns has done really well this season and good on the ball as well, so he fits the profile.
