Changes at Swindon - All The Young Dudes

An interesting afternoon down at the County Ground by all accounts.

Highly rated central defender Sean Morrison has signed a 3 and one half year deal with Reading and could be a Premier League player this time next year the way they are going. If the reported transfer fee of £250k (Swindon Advertiser) is true, the Royals have got themselves a steal.

To make matters worse for the Swindon fans it is being reported by the BBC, among others, that hot shot striker Charlie Austin also wants away, although niether the player or the club are talking.

Selling Morrison to help fund a re-building of the squad, I can understand, but if Austin leaves as well Danny Wilson will be left wondering where the goals are going to come from.

There are 12 days or so before the transfer window closes, but a quality striker will be hard to come by in that short time. Maybe a loan deal for former hero Simon Cox (currently a bit part player at West Brom)?
