    Does seem like we are after a few of these attacking players, number 10 / attacking midfielders. That is Morrison's gig as well. Add them to Pritch, Embleto and we are going to be well stocked. Mind you with 5 subs allowed we do want plenty of lads chomping at the bit on the bench. Subs going to be massive now - you can change half your outfield team!

    Would love that to be true. No indication in the story as to why Hunter thinks we are favourites, but would be fab signing

    Sure people said the same about Roberts too before he signed!
    I tend not to worry about **** like who’s Gona sign or who gets a promotion within the club, absolutely **** all I can do about it so….

    He was heavily involved in that drink driving incident couple years ago where Keogh broke his leg. Charged and everything

    N Ireland connection....Corey perhaps? He definately fits the aquisition profile we've followed recently.

    When you first read that article,it appears the reason may be he failed the medical.However,on further reading,not the case,although he has had a nasty knee injury two or three years ago.

    Yeah, I wonder if it was the personal terms with the player or something in the deal Arsenal didn't like. We have a buy back option in the Cirkin deal I think so I don't think that would be an issue for us. If we got him for the reported 2m and the buy back was, say 8m+ then that would fit the model we are operating and he would have done well for us.

    Reading the initial part of the report it did seem to indicate that the problem was the terms which one of the clubs didn't like. Given the relative upheavel at Burnley recently,I hope that it was Arsenal who pulled out and would be happy for us to step in.

    I like the sound of this lad. From a Milwall fan...

    Interesting, not a lot made of that when he signed for West Brom but Ravel’s problems have been highlighted a lot more. I don’t think Morrison has been involved in an incident like that recently?

    Didn't really see him when he played for Millwall but I do remember him when he was at Blackpool. looked outstanding for a young lad.

    Milwall are on the verge of signing a young CB from Leeds on loan so that should rule them out if they were interested in Ballard.

    He had a very bad injury but has played two full seasons since with no problems. So I suspect its not a medical issue
