If any manager can get him to settle down you would think it would be Moore with his personality and the Jamaican connections. Ravel only just turned 28 so still could have a few good seasons left in him too. I would say it’s a gamble worth taking in our cr*p situation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to gamble on someone to develop, let it be someone we could earn bit of money for in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite sure that for wages Morrison would demand we can bring in very solid and dependable League One player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Let's be honest, if we had Morrison and Bannan we would have two of the best players in the league. Goodness knows how it will work out though... both with the two (or even one) of them being here, and whether their relative attitudes will allow is to see them at their best at this level. So many fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a pay as you play deal can be structured I think it’s ok, if we have to pay week in week out it may be too much of a gamble. In our current plight you have to take a risk or two, be that someone who’s stock is low, someone unproven at this level from lessor leagues or someone yet to play outside of prem youth teams. Each will have a risk, we just need to ensure we structure a deal to protect ourselves. When Morrison is on song, there are not many better we could dream of bringing in. Unfortunately it was a half season at west ham and that was it…. But at L1 he could thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I would have zero faith in Morrison turning his career round with us. His track record only tells you one thing - that a leopard doesn’t change its spots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many fingers crossed. I think it’s one or the other, I’m also hoping it’s as part of the 3 behind the striker and not the 2 in front of the defence. So for that reason I’d rather gamble on a pay as you play Morrison than a 20k plus per week Bannan. I’m sure we could sign a competitor to the number ten role and Morrison and still have chunk of change from Bannans salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko1992 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'd be open for us to give Ravel a chance (how many of them has he had?), but you just know come Nov/Dec time he'll be nowhere to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 ITFC were trying to sign Dundee Utd GK Benjamin Siegrist. They now appear to have switched attention to Salford GK Václav Hladký. I assume they aren't signing both, so maybe we can pick up one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Has anyone snapped up Connor Wickham yet? He’s another on pay as you play I’d be keen to gamble on. I’d rather see him leading the line than Paterson anyhow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge risk especially as the physio is leaving to join forest He will have no one to treat him in the Massimo Luongo medical centre if we are after a target man then Joe Piggott is the one to try and get. On a free, scored in this division before and wages won’t be huge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
