ACTUAL NEWS: Sources say Marshall signing to be announced soon
by Aaron Stollar
It’s very, very rare when Fighting Talker can actually break news, especially news that Steve apparently doesn’t know yet, but my sources close to the situation in Columbus are telling me that Chad Marshall is about to decline that offer from Mainz and accept an extension from the Crew. I don’t yet know the details on the extension, but I’ve been told it’s coming soon.
Crew fans should be able to exhale a bit as it appears their post-title talent stripping has come to an end.

Great news if true for Crew fans. This leaves only Brad Evans to replace in the starting 11. It could be argued Evans was the weakest link in that lineup.
Btw if this turns out to be true congrats on the scoop. No one saw this coming.
Andy: Evans was for sure. We’ve got three people that can come in and do an amazing job in his place. Moffat, Noonan and Ekpo. Shouldn’t be a problem at all.
