Aidy: Marlon is not for sale

Marlon King
AIDY BOOTHROYD insists Marlon King is going "nowhere".
Premiership new boys Derby are rumoured to be chasing the 27-year-old striker, who scored the winner against Wolves on Saturday, but the Watford manager will rebuff any approach for his chief goalscorer.
"We haven't had any bid and they haven't got enough money," said Boothroyd.
"If we get to the Premiership it is worth £60m and unless someone has got £60m then he isn't going anywhere. It's as simple as that.
"Selling Hameur Bouazza and Ashley Young was a different kettle of fish. Marlon King stays as long as I'm here. He is part of the core of the team that got promotion and he's going to get us back to the Premiership. He's a key part of my plans."
