Just need to get the fecker on the pitch

I'd be willing to give Morrison a shot, if you watch his highlights reel he looks like a guy who should be going for 40-50m this summer not someone who can be picked up for pretty much nothing.  Hopefully a year in Italy will have helped him grow up a little.  It is a risk but it's one worth taking I think.

It is too much of a risk I feel. The last thing we need is another half arsed player in the squad.  How did he perform in his year in Italy anyway?

After I had whipped him in the Employment Tribunal this morning I was talking to the Newcastle supporter representing the other side. He said they had just signed our "best" central defender (to which I replied "you have just signed "A" central defender, and "best Villa defender" was like "smallest mountain" last season anyway) , that they would walk the league and that Villa will struggle. Hopefully the Newcastle squad are equally as complacent (and that his predictions are as good as his cross-examination and Submissions - mee-ow!!)

Didn't really play much, but has apparently looked decent for them in pre-season.

I actually think Morrison might be worth the gamble.

Everyone scoffed at Barton, and maybe Morrison can mature a bit and actually start to fulfil his potential.

Linked with Berntrand Traore on loan from Chelsea. Another one that would be an excellent signing imo - fast, powerful and different to what we have.

Jedinak i have been wanting for about a year now. Leader. I would get Bidcutt as well and let Westwood go.

Linked where? Bertrand would be an excellent addition.

I hope we are in for Jedinak. I've thought he is the sort of defensive steel we crave for a long while.

The little video on that link, the last touch is the familial resemblance.

Colin Clarke officially signed for Newcastle. He'll fit in well to departed Calamity Taylor role.

Clarkie could only manage to be picked for 15 starts last season in all our woe, I doubt we'll miss him.
