Players on loan or free transfers?
Steve Morison:
"Both are playing abroad at the minute and fit the bills of what we want. How they fit in with what we do. I didn’t show them anything they couldn’t do. Our players are doing it now and they’re doing it at their clubs. It was me just laying it down to them about what I expect from them when they walk through the door if they decide to join us. I tell them I haven’t just plucked you out of the air."
"There’s a reason because you fit the physical profile and technical profile of what we want, and sell them the club and project."
"I said it to the player yesterday, ‘You're one of one Zoom I’ve done. You’re not one of ten in your position. You’re the target. This is why we want you. Hopefully all is good and you come and join us’. Then I take his questions, family questions, agent questions. Then we go from there. That’s the process. Hopefully it pays off."

What happens next?
Steve Morison:
"Hopefully the agent gives us a call. We do the Zoom because we’ve agreed the other stuff. It’s just that person committing. The finances are done. "
"There’s no point having a Zoom with you if we’re going to have to keep negotiating. The Zoom’s the final bit. Find out what they want. Find out if it’s feasible. If it’s not feasible then there’s no point wasting our time having the conversation. If it gets this far, it means we’re getting closer. You like to have agreements."
"Hopefully the old gentleman’s agreement is in place. Once we can officially sign it, we do, subject to medicals etc. There’s a lot going into it. If I can, we’ve had a couple come in here in person. It’s not all talk just before we’ve lost a couple of games. If I had my laptop you’d know."

Hopeful of early business then?
Steve Morison:
"We know what market we’re in. The players won’t have clubs either so there will be no reason as of June 22 that these people won’t be in the building. It won’t be everybody, but it will be as many as we can physically do. That goes for the loans too."
"Some of the loans from the Premier League clubs they’re for people to come in and join in pre-season. We want them in for the start of pre-season so that they can be a part of the culture."
"The only reason they would leave before January is if I’ve left. If I left and someone comes in and changes what we do and Liverpool or Man City or someone else don’t like it they can call them back."

Give him time. I like what he's doing in the transfer market, we don't have love him for him to be relatively successful. Dave Jones wasn't a likeable character but got us playing well. You can see he is taking us forward behind the scenes, this season finished early and essentially now have a tiny group of players to pick from, many of whom won't be in the starting XI next year.
