RUMOUR: Ooooo Wes Morgan

by The Rouge » 19 Aug 2011 12:20

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_7111710,00.html

Skysports.com understands Reading have made an enquiry for Nottingham Forest defender Wes Morgan.

The Royals are on the lookout for reinforcements at the back after losing Matt Mills to Leicester and they see Morgan as an ideal replacement.

Morgan is in the final year of his contract at Forest and as yet fresh terms have not been agreed.

Forest are believed to have opened talks over a new deal as they look to secure the 27-year-old's long-term future

The commanding centre-half has established himself as a key player at Forest since coming through the ranks at the City Ground and was named in the Championhip PFA Team of the Season last term.

Forest would be reluctant to lose Morgan to a Championship rival and they are expected to step up their efforts to tie down the centre-back to a new deal.

Is he actually any good? I've just always seen him as a big lump, never really noticed how good he is.

He won't be happy just being cover, and I'd feel for Pearce if he just jumps straight into the team. That is if we get him!

This story could of course originate from his agent as part of the negotiation to an improved deal at Forest.

Following McDermott's comments on the OS though, both players we're supposedly interested in are currently with clubs, so it might be possible .... **(does that also rule out the McFadden & Gardner deal rumours then?!)

**EDIT: mentioned on McFadden thread. Morgan would tick the 'experienced' box though.

I've always been impressed. Would be a good signing for us, could have done with him on Tuesday to stop Pompey's forwards bullying us.

I imagine he'll sign a nice new big contract in the next few weeks then.

While up at Uni I've been working at Notts Forest and therefore know the team quite well! I would say that both Chambers and Morgan are among the top 10 CBs in the league and Morgan would be a fantastic signing! You don't need speed to be a top CB (see John Terry etc), he's probably quicker than Pearce is and his positioning is always good. Very experienced at this level as previously said. Also always looking dangerous on the end of set pieces. SIGN HIM UP PLEASE :D

If this is true I'd like us to sign him, but its probably his agent trying to get a better deal.
