Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation James Morton Signs

[Leigh_Seasider]

Welcome James! Hopefully the first of 2 or 3 before kick off tomorrow. What an atmosphere there will be at the game .. fantastic that we’re bringing in players and one thing we can guarantee is that they’ll have been well scouted - and will hopefully add to what we have built both on and off the pitch. This lad is apparently well thought of.

Can’t confess to have seen him play, or know the ins and outs of him, but on paper it looks a terrific signing.

Good age, upward trajectory, fits in with our profile, and a decent length contract. Ticks a lot of boxes.

where'd he get that home shirt

exactly!

How refreshing is it to see another club say this about our club at last? View attachment 30501

I’m sure we had similar things said from Kettering for Powell and Chorley for Cards too.

TL does things properly. It’s a shame he has been let down when it’s come to payments being made however.

What do we reckon we have paid for this lad? Under £25k mark?

 

[shrimperjon]

Yes.

Am I right that Waldron has also been training with us. Hearing that he could be announced in morning

Another positive is that being at Bristol City for 10 years early in his career, he won't be phased about coming to a larger ex league club, he'll know what is expected within the set up in general.

If that video is anything to go by. Long balls to the wing... could be exciting to open up the pitch with bridge and gus. Hope he's got more. Or could get found out.

David Cameron said something that made sense once.

Too many tweets make a ****.

 

[PIERS]

He is going to keep opposition full/wing backs pinned back with passing like that

I remember Kings Langley being very complimentary of TL when we signed Wood:

Club Announcement: Jack Wood transfers to Southend United

19-year-old joins National League side

www.kingslangleyfc.co.uk

"I would also like to thank Southend, and in particular CEO Tom Lawrence, for the way they conducted themselves and how respectful they have been to us during the process of the transfer."

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

He has the posture of Declan Rice on the pitch - very upright, head always up. Exciting

Bloody hell how many Xmas presents are we going to get it's wonderful to see positive posts on here after all the doom and gloom we have all had to endure for so long

Judging by that GSM and Bridge are going to like this signing.

 

[cerbera45]

Surprisingly, that isn’t correct.
