El-Reacho Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think Morrison must be 2nd or 3rd choice. Maybe he's the fall back if we can't get Diawara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's Jedinak, this is the process for Aussies and Americans. Ravel wouldn't need one and Diawara would probably require more lengthy talks with the foreign ministry as he's African. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only like 5 and a half years ago! Now I feel old. He was definitely ITK although I don't know if it's still the case. MM was a funny one - spot on about most things but then spectacularly claimed that we weren't after McLeish the day before we appointed him.

His friend was flying to Italy from Birmingham airport and took the pictures. He has a locked account so you will have to follow him. I would screenshot it but that involves too much work. That twitter username looks like Richard Franks. I don't suppose that Sellyoakvilla has anything to do with Paul Franks the sports presenter from WM? Might get his inside info from him perhaps? Just putting 2 and 2 together etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM was close to Sid who was involved in the first team at the time. That's where a lot of his info came from. He used to tap Faulkner for info but I was never convinced that Faulkner ever gave anything away, hence the McLeish clanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison is more of an attacking midfielder, playing just behind the strikers, while Diawara plays from a lot deeper. More like a DM position.

abdulaziz1 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 At any case, an upgtade on Westwood for sure. To have a midfield of him and Tshibola could give other players much freedom. If we could somehow get Diawara and keep Veretout I would go as far as to say that this midfield is the best we had since god knows how long !

Garvey13 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I seem to be under the Impression that the Diawara Signing is a bit pie in the sky ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not fussed about Diawara either way. Jedinak is a certain yes from me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
