Clinton Morrison

[brooks]

I'd hoped we'd seen the end of taking on superannuated 'stars'.

 

[Kingston Bee]

Not sure it shows a lack of ambition in that if Uwe is in talks with him he sees him as being part of the squad to get us promotion next year and I'm guessing he wouldn't be the cheapest wage wise either (although as someone said a pay/play deal might be the answer). However from the evidence I have so far seen I have seen very little to justify giving him any sort of deal, would have thought we would be better looking elsewhere.[/QUOTE

Fully agree, from what I have seen he is past it. Surely we want to recruit strikers who can score? Or I have I got it wrong?

Keep up, there's a good lad!

See post 481

Sorry pal, don't get on here much. I'm sure I'm not the first!

No, you haven't. Truly can't believe this.

I have held back from getting a ST with this madness being mentioned, I can't believe for one second that he is coming our way but wouldn't mind knowing for sure before putting the cash down. Total bonkers talk or so I hope.

 

[Houghton Bee]

Must be his agent putting his name about with the media, no way will we go for him.

I have also not submitted my ST renewal application yet for the same reason. I'm sincerely hoping that this is just lazy reporting from a substandard journo.

 

[hanworthbee]

so if we sign Morrison neither of you will be getting a season ticket?

 

[alikat]

Let's just see what players we have signed up or fully committed to the club by the end of this month. If CM is one of them, I'd certainly consider not buying a ST for the coming season unless there is at least one new (potential) exciting striker to compensaste for having CM on board. I just think that, IF there is any truth in this newspaper rumour (which is probably unlikley), it would be a very bad move on UR's part and I believe that UR has done a pretty decent job so far (except for strikers!) and I WAS really hopeful for 2012/13 until I read the article.

I'm just hoping that this is lazy journalism, but only time will tell.

Every season I hope and expect us to win the league or make do with the POs if we have to, signing a bloke who looks shot, argues with his mates about penalty taking would make me think twice.

 

[GNBee]

We need to sign two strikers who will get as many goals as Alexander and MacDonald - or more.
Morrison does NOT fall into this category.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

this is quite big


Jakub Błaszczykowski

Well, it'll get you around 80 points in scrabble.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

If our striking force next year was:

new signing
loan striker
donaldson
Clinton
German

it really wouldn't be the end of the world (obviously this is assuming the 2 guys brought in are decent!)

Unless your loan striker is really top drawer, you can kiss goodbye to challenging for automatic promotion.
Probably be a lock for 9th place again, though.

 

[Beesfan]

Over the passed few months Uwe has restored my faith in him with what he is trying to achieve at the club. If he signs Clinton Morrison then I will once again become a doubter.

 

[SmiffyBee]

If we are serious about Morrison it shows a serious lack of ambition imo. Really dissapointed with this, and to think I almost put my rose tinted glasses on.

Sorry to reply again but I will repeat - Clinton will not be signing for Brentford.
The article seems to have been drafted after the Chesterfield game when no other story was available.
West London News seem always behind the Chronicle by 24 hours and when they are first with a story, it's wrong

 

[Brentford_till_die]

I'm pretty certain he won't be joining us

 

[absenteebee]

Wouldn't be excited if he joined. Hoping for someone far younger, fitter, and ultimately, a lot better.

Hope to file this one alongside the 'Justin Edinburgh Manager' story from a year ago.

 

[BRbee]

I'm pretty certain he won't be joining us

Good

 

[rambo]

Would hope that would be the case. Had a positive impact on the results but no goals. I'd cut Donaldson some slack on that front but an old hand (no doubt on a decent whack) you'd expect to see the net bulge a few times.

He could be a decent squad member but I doubt the financials would stack up.

Cannot see him being happy with being just a squad member and not playing much

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Why? it would sum up his past season pretty well!
At his age income is far more important than ambition and if we were stupid and desperate enough to offer him a contract I suspect that he would take Uwe's hand off.

 

[sonofabee]

Reckon he'll score a bucketful if anyone in Div 4 can afford him.
As I type Luton springs to mind if they get up.

 

[Sultan]

Heard on the news that Clinton's gone into administration. Dies that mean -10 pts?

We lose 10 pointd because he's died? Seems pretty harsh to me..........
