Prutton, yes this seasons Hayden Mullins.

Other players I'm watching:

Julio Santa Cruz in Germany - wouldn't it be great to see Paraguay's top two teenagers at NUFC.

Gareth Barry: friggin obvious reason there.

As a side point, how about trying to get Dennilson on the cheap from his Spanish club which got relegated along with Atletico Madrid. He's still a decent left winger if I recall.

Hmmm. Interesting points Tre, but I do have a few reservations (no, really!) :-)

"Julio Santa Cruz in Germany - wouldn't it be great to see Paraguay's top two teenagers at NUFC."

Would it be great to lose Paraguay's two top players everytime they have a Copa America game?

"Gareth Barry: friggin obvious reason there."

Mr Barry needs to learn when it's a good idea to play silly buggers in his own box unfortunately. A high ratio of screw-ups for all his canny clearances at present.

The problem with Denilson would be superstar wages for some indifferent performances and another player who thinks he's made for the bigger stage than we can offer during rebuilding.

Tre, What about Chris Morgan from Barnsley? We have been linked with him in the last week and the talk on the Tykes' bulleting board is that we are going to get him and they definetely don't want to lose him.

De Builder - No idea about Chris Morgan. But my point of view is that most top young English talent playing in the Nation Wide leagues is identified at a pretty young age and snaffled up. I mean a late developer is some kid who appears out of no where at around 18 or 19.

Chris Morgan is 22 and if the likes of Arsenal, Leeds, Newton Heath etc aren't interested in him, neither should we be.

All you have to do is look at Tottenham last season when they signed all the top 17 and 18 year olds from the nation wide leagues. Or the bun fight/bidding war from the top 5 side over Millwals 15 year old striker Cherno Samba.
