Good signing for Millwall. I never understood the hatred for him here. He played in the worst Sunderland sides ever and is probably one of the players I wouldn't of gotten rid of at the time. I chance to get shot down in flames here <laugh>

I liked him, always gave 100%. I was surprised we sold him and I think he was as well tbh. I can only assume it was Donald taking whatever cash we could get

Clarke definitely. Morrison isnt for me at all though mate, I dont rate him much as a footballer I am afraid. If he signs he gets my support and I hope he proves me wrong, but I dont think he is at the same level as Pritchard or Embleton personally.

Time will tell my man. Reports of "God given talent" is something we could utilise lol. If we were to get him in,Neil would probably paint it as his last "big" move, by that I mean club size. He was luckily unlucky that Derby were in the mess they were in. So that's why I think here is his last chance because there's every chance he could be playing Premier league football in the near future.

Can't understand the clamour to sign Morrison who is of an age that he should have been pulling up trees,with his talent and hasnt.
He's had a go with a few clubs now and apart from a good game now and again he's done nowt.
Would rather trust Embo as one of ours than spend good money on someone who might improve us if he can be arsed.
So that's a no from me

Good points, well made. However, Neil being the bloke he is would probably sell it as "You're 30 next birthday, last realistic chance of a "Big" move, are you going to f**k about"?

It's an odd one for me. I think he stayed a season longer than he himself wanted to because the slapped the captaincy on him.

"Sorting his head out" will probably be his ADHD diagnosis.

I was reading the thread over the road about that but apparently the medication he needs is a banned substance as far as football is concerned (no idea if it's true). Hopefully he has other ways to manage it.

Embleton couldn't lace Morrison's boots in terms of raw talent and ability. Morrison and Pritchard would be head and shoulders above the rest of our squad.

I'm all for it, if the rumours are to be believed that he's finally grown up and matured, this could be an exceptional signing.

The problem is that apparent raw talent and ability has never been seen on a matchday consistently in my opinion. He was no superstar at Derby last season from what I saw, and what the lads round here tell me (including season ticket holders).

I hope you are right and I am wrong mate. I absolutely trust Alex, so if he rubber stamps the deal all good. Alex Ferguson is well known for having an open line for young scottish managers to ask for guidance. I suspect Alex Neil might have made that plus other calls before making this signing. For sure he wont be ringing me to ask, thankfully for us all <laugh><laugh>

If he’s better than Pogba ( Rodwell was nearly better than Pogba) why are they not having him back? It’s a no from me as well.

More talented and better are two different things. Arguably he was better than Pogba last season, who was utter ****.

Another bud rejected for the lad from Wimbledon Roker Report are reporting (originated from reports in London) apparently us and two other clubs, apparently one of the clubs interested are likely to meet the valuation though, you’d imagine that would be us?

Bristol City and Huddersfield could both find the money, I'm sure.

Pritchard had went off the boil and we resurrected his career. Admittedly, Pritchard had shown his class previously.

This seems to be the perfect signing for the direction that the club is heading in, imo.
