Wow. The MIrror (unsure of its accuracy. ) is reporting that Mori is expected to pass up on the Olympic squad to play in pre-seasona nd impress RK.


Multiple ways to red into this.

1. Mori wants to dislodge Stone and/ or Jags to maintain a starting role

2. Stones is off and Mori knows/ has been asked/ feels obliged to participate in pre-season as Jags would be the only other first team CB at the cub come game 1 int he league

3. (Probably the most unlikely A. K. A impossible) Mori is aware tthat RK would like another CB and doesn't want to leave/ get sold (this is unlikely because i do not believe the manager would reveal such transfer plans etc)



What do you guys make of this?
i know we have a number of young deffenders but if we lose Stones are we comfortable with just Mori and Jags playing first team?

Jags and Mori were our best CB's last year

Galloway was great at the start of last season as LB but as soon as Baines retuned he was dropped. like to see him play cb a bit this season.

I think the main factor of pulling out the olympics squad is that he's reluctant to go to Rio de Janeiro atm. Lots of violence and the threat of Zika virus. Already several high profile athletes have pulled out and I'm surprised it's still going to take place. Either way it's a win-win for funes mori as he avoids getting potentially killed and he impresses the boss/ fans with his attitude.

completely agree BotN. galloway had a fantastic start to season adn looked like one of our standout players. many fans suspected matinez of having favourites, especially when issues arose with Howard.

Its a shame galloway was dropped but i believe he was still playing most games fro the U-21's so its not really as though he missed gametime but i didn't hear much from the U-21 games that he had impressed. although i suppose it was difficut to do so when Doweel is scoring screamers for fun.


You may be right there BP, i'm surprised the whole event is taking place because they were way behind schedule last time i checked and the causualties where pretty high as well. Does anyone know if Mori's brother will be taking part? heard he had a good first season for his new club.
