Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 What timeEd says. We cannot be picky really, especially with what Mike is willing to spend. I'd rather we put that theoretical £1m towards securing a striker tbh. That isn't how we do buisness though, which i'm pretty sure you are aware of.

Guest dogbeak Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 one could argue that the fact that manchester united have put up with him for so long - witness intimidation, for fuck's sake - means there must be something to the guy. as to the question of his cuntitude, well... someone has to fill the hole carroll's departure left in the dressing room ambience (i put that in italics to make sure you mentally read it with the french pronunciation).

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'd buy a CB, DM, RW, RB/LB( depending where Santon's long term future lies) and a striker all before i signed Morrison tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear Mike doesn't factor one transfer into the next, we don't spend any where near enough for this to even begin to be the case. If there is a chance of a profit we'll sign them and Morrison falls into this category. We won't sign a CB,DM,RW,RB/LB or a ST if we cannot get them young and for a cut down price.

Disco Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 John Carver just been on BBC Newcastle. Can't see AC happening. Working on getting new players. Hope dont lose any. Prior ok french kid not. Any link? French media reports on Wednesday credited United with an interest in Racing Club Lens midfielder Abdelhakim Omrani - and claimed that the player was on Tyneside for a short trial. The 20 year-old hasn't featured for Ligue 2 side Lens this season and began this season on trial at Bayern Munich - although no deal was concluded. Like former Lens prospect Mehdi Abeid, Omrani began his international career with the French youth setup, before following the Newcastle player into the Algerian U23 squad in autumn 2011. From what we can gather, Omrani's trial has now ended and the player returned to France. It remains to be confirmed whether any offer for him will follow, but it's thought unlikely.

Signing morrison wouldn't effect our other targets though (if we have any). It would just be an extra luxury which is why I cannot see why any fan would be unhappy about it. If he turns out to be a cunt then fair enough, deal with him and get rid, we havn't lost out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sometimes half the hassle is caused by the player not getting regular football and either losing interest or becoming disillusioned as a result. Keep him occupied with regular football and he might become less of a problem. Doesn't always work out like that obviously and this Morrison may just be a complete arsehole who's going to give all of his managers grief regardless of how he's treated but you never know. If the talent is there then it's worth a small gamble imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the talent is there then it's worth a small gamble imo. What makes you think he will get in the team here, to occupy him enough to be a good lad ? Fact is, he's a cunt. Witness intimidation, people like that don't change at his age. When there older maybe. but he's too young with what sounds like a terriblely bad attitude. The risk is way to great as the chances of us getting anything from him are zip. If fergie and the players around him, cannot tell this kid what he's pissing away. What the hell makes you think we could. If where looking to spend a million on a prospect, why not pick up a less talented player and coach him to be better. Rather than trying to straighten out a idiot ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think he'd get more games for us than for them. Never claimed he'd be starting every game but he'd find it easier to break into our XI than Man Utd's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you're his age and you're being told you are one of, if not the most gifted talents to come through Manchester United's academy, you're going to get frustrated at a lack of first team opportunities. Even in cup games etc, you'd want to be on from the start playing the full 90. He's had no loan deal either, which is a bit weird given how often they like to get players out in the football league. So with that in mind I can see why he might be frustrated and considering a move to another club, if he doesn't doubt his own talent he probably thinks he'll make it to the top, be that via a stepping stone club (like ourselves) or by going through their books. I'm not excusing his arsehole behaviour, far from it. He's got issues with professionalism, to the point where he's more famous for off field antics than match highlights. So with that in mind I'd still be cautious about signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 worth a go imho, small fee small risk and if he is as good as is being claimed (can't judge hardly seen him) then it would be a hell of a bargain worthy of a thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
