Reckon we may still see Moorhouse surface again, be that with a small fee or at the end of November.
So long as us bringing him in hasn't alerted others.
Would be really nice if we could be the lucky ones who unearth a Kevin Doyle.

His contract is only until then so in theory if he is a free agent we could sign him outside of the Window couldn't we?

Is he classed as overseas too.
I think we'd be OK to pick him up then.

How about Gary Roberts just released by Portsmouth?

Would think he has somewhere lined up straight away, they usually do when that happens.

He gets on well with Doyle (I think its him anyway)

Would be good in that 10 role. Most likely to go to Wigan though.

If the only reason we didn't sign him was because we were waiting on GT to make his mind up / Needed the GT cash to make it happen then signing Moorhouse would make perfect sense. Already had a good look at him, he knows the rest of the squad etc. Has Robins ever said anything about why the deal didn't happen?

Don't think they would need him as they have Shinnie from Birmingham. Would hope if we were interested in Roberts that we could offer a competitive deal due to the Thomas money.

Yes. Would be another good experienced head in there. Already played with O'Brien,Doyle and McNulty so would fit in well.

Was on a big wage at Pompey so it is unlikely he will come here.

Think it was more on principle that his Club changed stance and demanded a fee or whatever.
The result is he moved for a 4-5 month deal for £5K according to someone who joined up to post.

Fair enough, I guess it is a gamble as to whether he can live up to the promise he showed in pre-season but worth sticking £20k on the table and see if they jump maybe?

The decision not to sign Moorhouse seemed to be more political than ability too me, whether that changes who knows, we don't have normal people running our club do we.

would be chuffed with Gary Roberts but it also looks like Pompy are also looking to offload Michael Smith, their 6ft 4 striker. Could he be the target man people seem to think we lack?

I agree too, tho that would mean we'd need to be offloading kwame Thomas first I'd assume.

Could loan him out. Get experience somewhere else and hopefully come back fitter and a better player.
