Shayden Morris, right winger from Aberdeen. Player of the season and recognised by their fans as one of the most exciting prospects. Bids rejected from Luton and we’re keeping an eye on what happens. Aberdeen want more than the £600k currently on the table.

Haven’t heard of him before now but had a quick look at some clips and he seems like a decent option at first glance. Looks fairly quick and happy to get the ball out of his feet and into the box. Would seem like someone earmarked as a Fellows replacement, albeit we still need to replace Grady too from a numbers perspective.

Thanks for video link, he looks decent to me too. Whilst pace is his main asset, his balls into the box when he gets to the byline look to be considered and not just hit and hope. It's also telling that often the first thought of the opposition players is to try to foul him. I like that, after he's been cynically fouled, instead of rolling around for 5 minutes pretending to be injured he gets up straight away and carries on.

For the sort of price being mentioned, I see little risk in giving him a go really.

His numbers are OK last season, but they’re boosted with some heavy contributions against lower league sides in the cup… he’s also mostly been used as an impact player for Aberdeen, starting very infrequently so I’d have concerns about how well a player that’s not starting games in the SPL is expected to step up to the Championship, how would we feel about signing a player struggling to get starts in League Two?

He has assets, but given he has 12 months left on his deal, and is already 23, I think 600k is the limit.

If it's a replacement for an outgoing Jed Wallace. That should be fine. Looks a dangerous impact player.

Agree - if we could shift Wallace’s alleged £25k/wk and replace with him for say £10k/wk and a £600k fee, it would be good business, but who is going to take Jed on that kind of money?

Does Jed fancy a run out in Dubai?

[baggiedave85]

Guess only Millwall would be mad enough to meet Jeds wage requirements for a sale, otherwise our only hope is a loan where someone pays say half of his wages.

Issue with Wallace for me is its not just about money - he is frankly wasting a space in the squad, legs have gone and should be nowhere near the first 11. He added nothing last season

The Telegraph NI linking us with Jamal Lewis who is a free after Newcastle let him go.

Assume we will sign a LB and agree a deal for Frabotta to go...I would much rather us look at Harry Toffolo than Lewis

Still only 27.

Wouldn't be the worst squad option.

At first I thought the same but he's barely kicked a ball in a year through injuries and non-selection. He did OK 2 years ago with Watford in the Champ and I respect he tried going to Brazil to get games... but I think for his likely cost in wages there should be better out there.

I think we may have used up all our ESC spaces however, so imagine we're limited to just UK players or those that are eligible for a work permit (which will no doubt be much more costly!)

[baggiedave85]

Lewis would be an improvement on GF but that isnt hard but given he has regressed the last few years, I would stay clear. As I said Toffolo is still a free and would be a better option

[Lurker#3]

Depending on how his body is. Wouldn't be the worst the signing on a short deal.

Most importantly he's a full blown wingback. We need an attacking outlet on that side as Heggem and Styles are both fine defensively but neither have really contributed offensively from that position.
