    Carlton Morris quote from BBC:-

    "I like to think I'm strong and quick, good technically. I know I'm describing a super-player there, so don't expect too much."

    Doesn't inspire confidence....

    He's spoilt it now. There's no fun in rubbishing a player who warns you in advance not to get your hopes up.

    I think its a tongue in cheek comment & fair play to the lad ,as I believe he is trying to break the ice with a smile , I like it , I think it does inspire confidence

    I was thinking it was a tongue-in-cheek comment, possibly ill advised....

    I'm the most beautiful person on God's earth. Even my **** tastes great. I'm the ******* child of George Best.

    I prefer that tbh. I liked Luke Steele saying he knew he'd never be as good as the other keepers at Man U. As long as he puts 100% in that's all I ask. If he's good enough , he's good enough. If he isn't he ll need to drop down divisions.

    The interview was ours, on ifollow. Go and watch it and you’ll get the context. We asked him to describe himself as a player. He then started listing what he’s good at and he realised that he was sounding like a world beater.
