Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PeterWithesShin]

Morrison is a scumbag that should never have the privilege of playing for Aston Villa. I'd be really disappointed if we signed him. We may be shit but we should still have more class than having the likes of him ever playing for us.

[PaulWinch again]

Me too. Don't care how much talent he has his attitude will always end up with him failing.

Morrison is shit end of story. It's not like he's some mecurial wizard with a bad streak like Gazza, he's done absolute fuck all for anyone. Would fit in great with the rest of the tossers though.

See he's a complete tit and I don't want him anywhere near the club but calling him shit is just plain wrong. If any manager manages to get him concentrating on the game giving up all the other bullshit they'll have a fantastic player on their hands, when he had a run for West Ham a few years ago before he fell out with Allerdyce he was making established internationals look like mugs, if he'd have pushed on from that he'd be starring at this tournament rather than struggling to get on the bench for Lazio.

He fell out with West Ham because he wouldn't agree to joining Allardyce's agent's stable of players, with Nolan turning the screw.

Agree.  Aren't we trying to get away from having poor and disruptive attitudes about the club?

Getting carried away a bit there Paul I think. He's played less than 20 top flight games. He's shite mate, if we sign him chalk him off as another ill thought out transfer.

What does the number of top flight games he played have to do with whether or not he's any good? Plenty of players have had difficulties with finding playing time in the PL for an assortment of reasons not constricted to how good they are, only to find success elsewhere. Fans of teams he's played for in England have always had good things to say about his on-pitch performances, including those teams in the PL. We shouldn't be going anywhere near him because I don't think the Championship is difficult enough to get out of for him to be worth taking a gamble on, but that's wholly different to the question of his ability.

[mr underhill]

part of that argument is certainly true - just look at how shit Bacuna and Westwood are compared to how many games they've played.

[Dante Lavelli]

I've heard that story.  Allardyce effectively bullied him out of the club, which is weird because I recall his form at the time had got him into/near the England squad.

And reading comments on social media, many West Ham, fans would love him to go back

No I'm really not, he's a very talented player who hasn't played many games because he's a dickhead.  Being a dickhead doesn't stop him from being the most exciting young player the country has produced for years, it just means that he'll probably never make that step from 'wonderkid' to 'superstar' which he really should've.

I know youtube videos are scorned but this is a brief highlights video and some of the stuff he does is astounding:

The first goal (for the U21s against Lithuania) was an absolute belter, I watched that game and he was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch.

You got to remember that Fergie was quoted (by Rio Ferdinand and osmeone else) as saying that he's the most talented young player he's ever seen.  Given you can include Ronaldo, Giggs, Beckham and Scholes in that group that's not insignificant praise.

As I say I don't want him but if he joins I'd hope that RDM and Clarke could get him focused because if someone can do that he's got the potential to be a top player.

Tommy Elphick for £3m by the end of the week according to Pat Murphy.

[SoccerHQ]

Looks like he got a bad injury last season as he started Bournemouth's first and last 6 league games.

Experienced, knows the lower leagues, hopefully vocal, I'm fine with it.

[Hookeysmith]

I think we will have to adjust to having a few "low rep" players join us at this level.

To be that close to a signing makes you realise just how much goes on behind the scenes without us getting a sniff

Is he really much low rep than the summers when likes of Westwood, Lowton, Bowery, Tonev, Bacuna, Helenius signed?

We've been signing bargain basement players for years.

The shame isknow we have an ambitious owner who wants to spend....and the level now dictates it's hard to get in the quality internationals.
