Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24 (Part 2 - Back in Business. Oh no we’re not)

Alcohol and bad language aren’t really James Morton’s thing. The 21-year-old Bristol City midfielder is teetotal, doesn’t swear and always tells the truth, which means there is only one person to go to when a team-mate is trying to get to the bottom of a dressing-room prank.

“They know if I saw it, I wouldn’t lie,” Morton says, smiling. “I do chuckle at that sometimes.”

Morton is a devout Christian, which marks him out as different in the sometimes insular world of football. Not as different as you might think, though. Through the work of Linvoy Primus, the former Portsmouth defender, and the Christians In Sport charity, Morton has come to realise that he is far from alone.

Good on him, my Mrs will be very pleased !

@BoyWonder2 @Tribal Chief any thoughts / news on Brooklyn and MV contracts?

Brooklyn will be offered a contract, if he hasn't been already. MV likely to be extended to end of season, but unsure whether or not this will continue on a dual registration basis.

Spot on. I like Mauro and hope he’s our player at least until the end of the season.

Yes I agree

Think he will grow not just to 6.9" but like Hobbo did with a season under his belt

Is the defender’s initials A.C by any chance?

 

[Callumturner22]

Done for the day, but I’m being told you should definitely be coming back again tomorrow.

Maybe a little surprise, or two, whilst having a pre-match pint tomorrow.

One is enough for me after the recent good news for us all . But 2 would feel like Xmas again .

Tbh I'd be happy with just filling up the bench tomorrow and getting a couple more in next week.

 

[AlfaShrimper]

5 on the bench?

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

We definitely need more firepower up top, with hopefully Waldron coming in in time for tomorrow.

Looking longer term, I wonder if we'd try and prise Josh Kelly from Solihull Moors? I'd really like to see him in a blue shirt and since we missed out on him from Maidenhead, he's scored 22 in 66 up there and bang on the 1 in 3 strike rate for a decent stiker.

Just looked for tickets regarding Eastleigh away does anyone know if they will open up the terrace option for us lot.. I know this isn’t the right thread but just wanted to get answer as never visited that ground so not sure what terrace option is / how many it holds ..

Any hope re Junior Morais? Been left out of Notts County squad tonight

I think we can do better than Morais personally.

I think we can do better than Morais personally.

You’re joking right? Was one of best strikers in this league

Maybe it's just me but I've not rated him as much as some others. I'm more excited when players like Stokes or Kelly are mentioned.

Morais is a very good NL / L2 player and scored against us a few times im certain. As for Stokes he will only leave for league football and would cost a decent fee I would think. Can’t comment on kelly as not sure how he is getting on at Solihull

Morais is absolutely quality at this level and tore us apart on more than one occasion. Would take him in a heartbeat.

 

[palexander]

Hope some of our fans dont get too silly and carried away.

"We can do better than Morais".... eesh.
