Who is better....Antonio or Marshall ?

We're crying out for Mayor to be our next Marshall. Comparing Antonio to Marshall is pointless; they have contrasting styles. Our strikers would certainly benefit from Marshall's deliveries - as Madine did last season. Step forward the Mayor of Hillsborough...

Different sorts of winger so difficult to compare IMPO.

One is like having a version of John Sheridan on the wing (Marshall).....quality of delivery, vision, sets things up, tackling within a set radius, reads the game etc......whilst.....

the other is like having a version of Carlton Palmer (Antonio) on the wing.......effort, endeavour , think he's lost the ball but he hasn't, covers every blade of grass, attacking & defending.

Really cannot see how you can compare......it's like trying to compare Di Canio v Waddle.....one is an attacker (more or less a striker playing on the wing) & another is an out & out provider & set piece expert.

Think there are a couple of things that on the surface push it in Marshall's favour.

1) he contributes more to the teams progress up the pitch.

2) I've seen Antonio have more bad games.

However, when you look into it further, there are reasons for both of these:

1) Marshall is an out and out winger who will create more whereas Antonio is a forward who's expected to be at the end of more moves.

2) We've seen Antonio play at a higher level for us than Marshall.

With this in mind, I don't think you can reach a clear cut conclusion without seeing both play in the same side at the same level.

Hint, hint Milan! And whilst your at it, can you think of a way of letting Gardner and Batth play in the same side so we can conclusively compare them. lol
