Never heard of him, but seems to be a winger who scored v Swansea last year while on loan at Stoke.
Left winger, not going to be short in that position!
Any more goalies incoming?
Another winger? Really? Is that where we're short?
Not a striker. Is Morison about to unveil the revolutionary 0 up top tactic on Saturday?
Seems to be really highly rated. Looking forward to seeing this lad.
Just wish we could get a couple of strikers.
PSG, Barcelona and Dortmund were after him as a kid according to his Wikipedia page - seems to be a talented young kid.
False number 9 stylee innit!
I think we can possibly see that we won’t be utilising a traditional style striker with this signing? Front three combination with rotation of players and positions?
I was on the fence about whether to get excited about Saturday.
We're going to win 4-0Quote:

Welcome Jaden, hope you smash it 👍
Not moaning here. Very much intrigued by how we are going to utilise these forwardsQuote:

I'd happily take Hugill back at this point, at least he gives us something up top. At the moment, we have f@ck all!
5 subs next season. It does look like we are going for a high press. I expect Morison to make a lot of use of the bench.Quote:

Would he have been at Aston Villa Academy when David Hughes headed it up? Might that be the link?Quote:

Do me a favour, nobody moaning? Your first post following news of a new signing was a winge we had signed a winger followed up by trying to be funny about signing more goalkeepers. The post below yours was another moan about signing a winger.Quote:

Re-read the thread my friend, nobody moaned!Quote:

From Barcelona to Cardiff City. I half expect him to sign on a free next season for Grimsby!Quote:

Wasn't there a story about this on one of the Undr The Cost episodes with a former City player? Dave Jones wanted to change formations from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3, but Bothroyd and Chopra both demanded to play as the central striker and threatened to down tools if they didn't get their way, so Jones shelved the idea.Quote:

Very well thought of at Villa has a really bright future as you say though he is more of a wide player but loves cutting in I think Cardiff fans will take to him I know Stoke fans did last season 👍
I don’t think we will see a consistent starting 11 this season. I think Morison will like to mix it up.
Why do we need a big striker up front though ? If we have three pacy, mobile young forwards up front it will cause havoc with opposition defences. I feel more enthused by us not having a Moore/Hughill figure than if we did. This is going to be fun.Quote:

Defences cannot legislate for pace and someone who has a bit of nous about them.
