It may be a piece of naked or even partially clad opportunism, on the part of an agent or a hack, but the name of a left back has eventually been put up.
Ben Davies of Swansea City is the patsy.
The fact that the Daily Mail describes him as “a surprise target” may hint toward a lack of substance, but what else could they say? Morrie hasn’t even held a single training session with our lot yet.
Squawka have Davies and Rose neck and neck on defensive actions per Premier League games, on 6 a piece. But on defensive errors, Rose “wins” 3 to 1.
Davies is 21, Welsh and almost interestingly, made 65 league appearances over the last 2 seasons, so doesn’t appear to have the same penchant for physio rooms as some.
I won’t bang on about Rose’s limitations. Anyone with an otoscope can see them for themselves.
My hunch is that there will be more names put up as the close season progresses. Let’s hope that one of them is brought in.
