We have been lacking some Andy Morrison level finesse in recent squads.

You may have seen Moses play on the left on Thursday, if we are serious about selling Petrov then a left sided midfielder like Moses would be a great option. However he is natureally inclined to cut inside and is somewhat fearless in the way he runs at players. A recurring problem with him is his inability to find teammates, but with higher quality movement within our forward line there would be more opportunities for him. He is only 18, represented England at the u17 level as captain I believe and is hugely tipped as the next big talent to make the step up from the championship. I would say he is the only player in their side we would be after.

I'd like him. Looks top quality and his story is heart warming.

Only other possibility would be Sean Scannell, seem to remember him being touted as a good prospect last season

Way too raw to move anywhere.

I reckon it's either Moses or for some odd reason Speroni as second choice keeper to move Taylor as reserve keeper.

Think his parents were murdered in Nigeria, so he moved to England. They died anyway, I could be making the murder stuff up

Could be him or it could be one of their younger players for the academy.

If we do sign Moses it probably means Petrov's going to Spuds.

Victor Moses is a good bet, but I also want to mention Nathaniel Clyne as a possibility. He played as a right back against us and did well in my opinion.

By the way, signing teen-agers from Crystal Palace...it brings back memories of Allison and McKenzie!

I've got a soft spot for Crystal Palace (one of my best mates is a massive supporter of them being the reason) and I liked the look of their young players so I am sort of hoping they can keep hold of them a while longer and maybe dally with premotion after coming so close in recent seasons

Things that happen before movement?

That would be adding a turd to the midfield - a foul mouthed bruiser of a turd too.

Who was that massive left back that Warnock brought on against us? Had an African surname. He played well defensively and looked like he had some decent pace too. Only problem with that, is we dont need a left back.

David Bentley apparently :(

That would be N'Daiye? I wouldn't call him pacey and he plays all over the pitch so quite versatile. I think he is french as well...in the same way our Ned is English.

No, you are right. His parents were murdered when he was eleven. Heard about it when his uncle came to tell him to the football pitch. Was send immediately to England without having time to grap even photos of his parents with him. Couldn't speak for two years because of the shock. Apparently a mild mannered yet determined character.

I've watched him few times and while still being raw as hell, with right coaching I'm positive he will be a big star.
