If he'd not got heat on Ross would probably have gone on to score. Nah - he took an extra touch - all the commentators picked up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Here's from his Palermo days. Not a fan of the dancing goal celebration, but I guess I could get used to seeing it 20-25 times if we signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sounds like the midfielder is more imminent.....probably is morrison - but that geezer from Liverpool had been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first touch was slightly behind himself meaning he needed the extra touch out his feet. Classic sign of a bit of rustiness, a fit McCormack would've buried that chance.

useless Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I think that Morrison is separate from Xia's tweet today. I expect the midfielder we sign will sign (hopefully) this week will be more of a Gueye replacement. So a box-to-box midfielder. I really wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the players that Tottenham have made available, I'd like Bentaleb but maybe someone like Carroll is more realistic.

Mjvilla Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Is Carroll a box to box midfielder? I thought he was in a similar mould to Westwood/Gardner! Edited August 9, 2016 by Mjvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 57 minutes ago, Gary Thomas said: Haven't seen much of him, but looks good. Bit of a character as well - fans would love him I reckon. He is a poacher, a proper number 9. I think he would fit in well with McCormack and Ayew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2016 Still can't find anything Italian about the Morrison transfer. Only seems to be English rumour mill talking about it. As a rumour it was doing the rounds end of June start of July here, but nothing since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Abel. H seems to get a lot of tap ins from crosses into the box / 6 yard box - shame our bunch still don't really know where that area is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
