Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[ASHTONVILLA]

heart says morrison, head says jedinak

I don't think they are mutually exclusive, different kinds of player. I have my reservations on Morrison regards attitude, but no doubting his ability. RDM seems very keen on making sure we get the right attitude in place, so if he does come in I expect he will have been told exactly what we expect and has made the right noises.

Jedinak is needed to allow the likes of Grealish, Adama and (maybe) Morrison to get forwards. The last time we had anyone that could get stuck in in midfield was probably Andy Townsend. Even when we had the likes of Barry, Milner and Petrov we still had a soft centre.

Sorry if it has already been picked up on but the news strap on the Paddy Power sports channel says Bristol City will only release Kodija for £10 million to a Premiership club.

Yes I noticed that yesterday and said to my brother "does that mean that we did bid for him then?".

[ASHTONVILLA]

I suppose the thing with Morrison is that he's got to grow up and stop being a twat at sometime. Hasn't he?

Bloody good player, but so was Joey Barton.

Yes, and Barton did eventually get his act together on the pitch. I would have liked us to sign him for this season actually, he was excellent for Burnley last year.

[Hairbandinho]

Why the clamour for Morrison? Isn't he a c*** that makes our c***s from last season look like good pro's?

Exactly I don't get it. I know everyone is desperate for signings but he has never actually achieved anything in his career.

Jedinak on the other hand would be an excellent signing.

Joey Barton isn't in the same league as Morrison when it comes to pure talent. Interesting article:

Indeed he has natural talent that is obvious. What he does not have is the commitment to progress, stay professional and push his own limits like the best do.

With all the mangers he has worked with including Ferguson, they could not get him to realise his potential. What hope do we have with a team damaged at the very core with bad attitude like Flabby etc.

Better to go with a player who we know is going to consistently give 100% rather than a guy who may have 1 amazing game every 30 game if he is in the mood.

I hope we sign him, and also hope that by playing actual games he will keep himself out of trouble. It is probably his last chance in England.

West Ham fans at work said he was superb for them (although he only played about 20 games...).

to be fair to him, he had a great start to the season pre Brazil world cup with the spammers and would have been a shoe in for the world cup squad except his attitude surfaced and spoiled his season. And therein lies the problem, shed loads of ability but can he be trusted?

I suppose you'd have to ask yourself whether you'd be happy to employ a wife-beating, homophobic witness intimidator who has more natural talent than almost every other English player. Quid pro quo.... 

[Clampy]

Doctor Tone did say it would be 'very exciting news'. Would Morrison go down as very exciting news bearing in mind it's been rumoured for a good while now?

Down to the player to kick up a fuss. Can't see Bristol being higher than mid-table, whether he wants to bide his time and wait another season I'm not sure. He would only have a year left next summer and would go for a lot less than £10 million.

Being pedantic, I am not sure he was (or is) a wife beater.

Joking apart, I am fed up of watching us lose games so at present anything that improves our chances on the pitch is good with me.

I actually think for where we are Jedinak would be exciting. Morrison brings excitement coupled with "fuck me when is this going to go wrong" level of trepidation.

Think we need both...with the possible departures of Vertoute, Sanchez, Lescott, Bennett, Gabby we need a few in.
Would it be greedy and wishful thinking to get Hernandez, Morrison, Jedinak, Chester..and hang on to Ayew.
That would make for a very, very decent squad.
