The Jock Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 A likely signing from the day McInnes took the job! Thought he would have snapped up Mackay,Davidson,Sendaza to for free from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Free transfer, only a year, could turn out to be like Paul Hartley, not a bad bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Could be a decent signing & has experience. He was very unlucky at Chelski when he was there as they had a settled central midfield pairing at the time but never let them down when he got his chance. Welcome to Bristol Jody, get yer trumpet out. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil78 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Terrible signing. Utterly dreadful footballer. Wasn't very good in his prime, recently been playing for a mid table Scottish side. That's ignoring his other various off field issues in the past, Poor mans Joey Barton. Very disappointed firstly in McInnes signing the player, but also the club allowing the signing of sch an unsavoury character, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jock Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Doubt it Why when he has leadership qualities and experience.The guy looks after himself,and is tough.Why would he not get the arm band?If he stays in the team?And I can see him doing that.He would never have turned down European football,to be a squad man down there.

Lrrr Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 could see him taking a coaching role after his 1 year so could be another reason as to the signing, playing for a season gets him familiar with the surroundings and the players first.

Because what respect do the players have for someone who will have just joined the squad? He may get it later in the season for one off games or so if Fontaine, Carey, Skuse etc arn't involved in the game, but he has numerous candidates ahead of him for the arm band.

Phil78 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wiki..... Morris has had a bad image over several legal and ethical issues. Chronologically, these include allegations that: he was one of a group of Chelsea players who drunkenly abused American tourists at Heathrow Airport within hours of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and the Pentagon;[17] that he was involved in a drunken brawl (in 2002);[18] that he was involved in a sexual assault (in 2003).[19][20] He was also arrested for drunk-driving on 1 November 2006, after driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Morris, who had one previous conviction for drunk-driving, was disqualified from driving for four years, given 80 hours community service and a two-year suspended jail sentence.[21] I'm sorry, but not the sort I want at the gate.

II Wurzel II Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ark at the experts ! Dels worked with him, seen our squad, thinks he will fit in and signed him. That's good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fontaine and Scuse aren't natural leaders IMO and, whilst Carey is, he may not play too many next season so Del could see Morris as the type to take the Captaincy and lead by example.

willie pullar Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Believe me , the legs have been getting heavier , he can still retain posession well but creativity is non existant and often when a pass through to the strikers is on he prefers a square ball . will sit in front of back 4 , holding role . Think he'll get found out but hope he does ok . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_BCFC Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Why's this being announced so late at night? I thought the same. Popped up as soon as he annouced on twitter, he was leaving St Johnstone. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 well the last time city said big news was coming.... so why not announce it straight away, its not a blockbuster signing as i think they would wait to announce one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Because what respect do the players have for someone who will have just joined the squad? He may get it later in the season for one off games or so if Fontaine, Carey, Skuse etc arn't involved in the game, but he has numerous candidates ahead of him for the arm band. These players have worn the armband purely because they are local, long serving, or both. None of them are leaders and worthy of being Captain in that sense. Morris is clearly the sort of inspirational character who can lead by example and get maximum effort out of his team mates. We've desperately lacked this type of 'nasty', win at all costs player for many years so it would be a big surprise if he isn't the Captain.

Is Morris going to play every game though? Don't know how many games a season he got thorugh at St Johnstone or even if he could keep up with a championship schedule, wouldn't like to think our captain would be someone who would barely feature in 75% of matches when fully fit. And if Skuse can replicate the form he was in at the end of last season he could easily lead by example on the pitch as a player. I still think Fontaine will be captain next season personally though with Skuse as vice captain and Carey as some sort of club captain off the pitch.

Ternative view would be he's sorted himself out - nothing there for 6 years. Let's give him a chance eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
