However, as has been pointed out already, he has a huge disciplinary issue and, in all likelihood, would only be available for 75% of the season and banned for the rest. Charlie Austin fills me with less enthusiasm and I would have preferred Scott Hogan to him. The fact that we’re being linked with Austin, Nacki Wells and Frazier Campbell tells us how far we have fallen over the last two years. I also see that Ajeti has signed for West Ham so another possibility disappears. Saido’s a free agent now
I doubt very much WBA were in for morelos.
There would be work permit issues for a start, and the guy is mentally not up to it. He is a decent penalty box finisher on his day, but his price has been overinflated by a club that are desperate to sell him and using their contacts in the media to try and drum up interest. He will end up moving to somewhere like turkey for an "undisclosed fee".
Austin is a far better player.
