January Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

If we can develop another Cadden with this signing then that's fine; the issue right now though is that there are other areas of the park that could have done with strengthening before adding a 17th winger to the books. Over the last seven days our squad has got worse not better: a credible centre back at the very least is needed before the window slams shut.

Gavin Gunning was all set to come back to Morton but has played for 2 clubs already this season ( just 1 game for Billericay) so sounds like it might be dead although Hopkin is still hoping to somehow get it over the line.  Least we know about this one before we sign him, unlike Tidser!

We are still expecting to sign a couple more today apparently.

Really Morton fans would be better cherishing their fond memories of Gunning rather than pining for a return. By all accounts he did well in short spell and left on good terms with the club and fans. That might be a first for Gavin; everyone else thinks he's a cunt.

Ben Arfa wasn't allowed to sign for Nice once because of that rule, they counted Newcastle's Under 21s as a competitive fixture and it seems pretty stringent. Not really sure how Morton could get him, there's some leeway if you go to a country with different calendars but wouldn't apply in this case. Only thing I can think of is maybe if the Conference North isn't technically an official competition under FIFA for some reason.

I’m amazed at how little work clubs do to check these things out. As previously mentioned Morton signed Tidser in League One and couldn’t play him for 6 months.

Even this week we had a guy up from Ipswich on trial and everything was ready to go and had to be cancelled at the last minute. Same thing happened with a guy we wanted from Coventry last year although we didn’t go to the bother of having him train with us. In that situation you’d think the parent club would check before offering him out and we would check before wasting his time having him on trial.

Closer to home than Ben Arfa, Morton actually signed Tidser but he could not play for 6 months.

The rule of being able to register for 3 clubs but only play for 2 coming into effect on that one.

There was that season where Raith just thought they could easily postpone a match if they didn't have a 'keeper, that was peak Scottish Football.
