    I'm not sure our people telling him that he's a c**t counts as a discussion............

    Just spoke to my friend who's a Reading fan. Says he'd be gutted to lose Morrison. Very good in the air but susceptible to a lack of concentration or a misplaced pass. At only 23 he reckons he going to a future Prem CB and a potential captain.

    Sounds alright if we get him. <ok>

    Apparently he asked his old teammate Le Fondre what he thought of the club and he told him there's no problem down here.

    He said as long as you're prepared to play on the right wing, you'll be fine........<laugh>

    Pilks was recovering from injury when we bought him, and has been injured off and on ever since. I can't remember how many games he played last season. but it was only a few. On his day he's bloody brilliant, a game changer, but then he disappears in games doesn't get involved.

    Okay, need to see Morrison sign on the line soon.

    Perhaps a double new signing intro at the game tomorrow?

    Good news.

    Has Pilks signed yet? If not, that is dragging a bit.

    That worries me too.

    (there again, perhaps we don't really need another winger with power and pace....<whistle>)

    That'll do. <ok>

    Massive squad now - we need to ship some out (either sale or loan) and get a settled 18 man first team selection option at the most.

    Who the heck is he going to pick when all are fit?

    Look at this potential first team:

    Marshall
    Fabio, Morrison, Connolly, Brayford
    Noone, Dikajcoi, Adeyemi, Pilkington,
    Macheda, Guerra

    That leaves the likes of
    Cala, Turner, Kim, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Le Fondre, Maynard, Jones, John, Hudson, Daehli, T-Katherine, Eikrem etc all fighting for places.

    Better than Blackpool's problem though.
