I see that Wenger is supposed to interested in the lad now. Could have had him last summer for a lot cheaper than he he is going to end up costing some one.

And we also had an option to pick up Luois Saha! damn it, damn it, damn it!

The lads a nutter Tre, he needs constant father like attention from Alan Smith and it has taken a severe kick up the back side for him to get motivated. I wouldn't touch him, stinks of Collymore early on in his career.

I actually prefer his Place strike partner - the Finnish lad, Forsell.
He is on loan from Chewsee - I wonder if they would sell him to us?

Clarky - yeah just what we need. Another foreign striker who doesn't score.

Reserve judgement on Saha until next season when he is in top flight.

Tre,

I've watched Palace a couple of times recently against both PL opposition and SAFC (;-{)) and in those games Forsell has made Morrison look good. There hasn't looked too much wrong with Forsell's finishing to me, and he's clever and lightning fast. In addition, Morrison is a reknowned 'head-banger' which is the last thing we need - we've got our full compliment already!

My point exactly Clarky.

Morrison will turn like Collymore. He's shown in the past he's a bad kid come good and while you can take the bad kid out of his upbringing, you can't take the upbringing out of a kid.

Crouch from QPR could be a decent buy from the future, tall lad but has great touch as well. Clever back heel set up a goal yesterday, would still be cheap.

Tre,

Just watched Forsell score two clinical goals against the run of play in the first half against Notts Forest - both laid on by Morrison! They play really well together these two.

Palace won 3-0. Morrison was subbed on the hour - didn't like it: spit oot the dummy. Went on a rant, kicking drink bottles, the lot. Had to be physically restrained from darting down the tunnel by one of the coaches. Very good player, but behaved like a big daft lass. Bad sign.

Aah but Buff, decisions (gambles?) have to be made on players like this before they hit the big time, if we are going to buy them before their values are inflated.

Oi Clarky! Speaking as a big daft lass, I resent your comments about Morrison's behaviour. (Actually, I lied about the "big").

Jacko - I find it very difficult to believe you're either "big" or "daft".

However, it was an inappropiate sexist remark - my only excuse is that it is one written into Tyneside folk-lore. Phew!

There can't be too many left on here who I haven't upset recently.

Oooh Clarky - you silver-tongued little devil you!

I watched Fulham training on Xmas Eve at my work - they were playing Crewe the next day.

10 a side on 1/2 a pitch. Saha looked OK but the best finishing was by a certain Mr Clark late of the NE.

Saha missed a chance and was deeply pi**ed off. Its a good sign when they're trying that hard in practice matches. I didn't realise how young Saha was when he was at the Toon - he had a decent crack of the whip and didn't really shine.

Saha looks to have matured physically as a player and that, more than anything, has helped him produce the goals in the Nationwide.

I saw David Johnson make his debut for Forest at the weekend and he looked lively up front. £2.75 million then making it £3mill if Forest get promoted.

Deb, Went to See QPR versus the baggies on Sat. and Crouch was truly awful. For a big bloke he can't time a jump. He has on good first touch for every twenty times the ball comes to him and an attempted sideways bbicycle Kick was greeted with the biggest roar of the match as he missed it completely. He also bears an uncanny resmblance to Rodney Trotter from Only Fools and Horses leading to many chants of One Rodney Trotter and Rodney you plonker every time his feet let him down. By an uncanny co incidence they were playing the episode of Only fools... where Del falls through the bar when we got back to the pub after the game.
