Richard Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Maybe he only has a certain amount left and feels that he can do without rb to spend more elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really like him actually, he is still pretty raw and I don't watch him enough to have a view on how much he can improve but he is one to watch. I also really like Pattison at Forest as well.

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I said in the Adama thread but I think we should sign Burke as his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Burke being raw, he'd get his head down and work for the team - unlike Traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958Villan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I think we can all agree, that we are very weak in some positions and have very little depth all over the pitch. Personally, I think we desperately need a creative midfielder more than anything, someone who has the vision and ability to unlock defences so we don't have to rely on shots from 25 - 35 metres out. While I have grave doubts about Ravel Morrison, maybe a loan with a buy option could be arranged, as he is the type of player we need. We do not only have the right back situation to sort out but, the left back one as well, for I hate to let you all know but, Amavi is nowhere near as good as everyone thinks. We also need one more centre-back, another DM and CM and a goalkeeper. Edited August 20, 2016 by 1958Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steer and Bunn are somewhat proven at this level and Gollini seems to be the No. 1 keeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If Adama doesn't want to play, we need someone who can excite, get bums off seats. We simply lack spark, but i think RDM knows this too. Whether it's Morrison or not, we need that type and another striker. Has to be the priority over the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Shame Adama isn't up for it as he could play right and we could stick Ayew up front. I'd prefer him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted August 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2016 The issue there is that Ayew will do his defensive duties, but you have absolutely no chance of Traoré doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Quote SS Lazio @sololaziofut 49s50 seconds agoView translation Ravel Morrison podría retornar al fútbol inglés. El jugador estaría cerca de firmar con el Aston Villa. No fue convocado contra Atalanta. Translated from Spanish by BingWrong translation? Ravel Morrison could return to English football. The player would be nearly signed with Aston Villa. He was not summoned against Atalanta. The account hasn't got many followers but it's the first thing in Italian I have seen linking Morrison to us.

omariqy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Pretty well reported that we have interest. He was also in Birmingham over the last week and I think he wasn't in Lazios squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I know you want squad depth, but where does he fit? McCormack is about the closest to his position at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Morrison wasnt in Lazio's squad, and it was suggested on twitter (by Italians) he is in the UK. I guess Hull wont be selling Hernandez now. Could do with Morrison, one more super quick midfielder/winger and a quick centre forward (wells), as well as Bamford, judging by yesterday - we have a first team but nothing for rotation/injuries/plan b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2016 To be fair, Dr Tony does say AT LEAST 2. Theyll keep pushing right up to the deadline. I'd imagine we end up with more than 2 more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
