bengalcub Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 So we have had morrell all this time , lj hasn't trusted him enough to give him a fair crack in the first team he goes on loan giggsy sees something in him lj couldnt and he gets a new 3 year deal , im delighted but surely its down to giggsy not lj at all ...

Coppello Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Christ, what a headache. Not our Swedish mate’s ramblings but our midfield selection. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a situation where we’ve had so many CMs who you’d be happy to see in the starting 11. Morrell has been fantastic for Wales to date and it has made him impossible to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll say it again, I really do think Joe’s style of play and ability, fits the way we play this season really well. He could slot into Nagy’s role, he positions himself really well. We saw him partnered with Pack, and Brownhill, last season...and he is capable of breaking the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue he’s signed Massengo over Morrell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case the flow of logic suggests that should Massengo be sold in the summer we now have an able replacement tied in for two (+1) years.

Same as moore was good enough but took extreme set of circumstances for lj to actually give him a fair chance So it’s down to an international manager that we’ve decided to give a player a contract extension? Don’t be ridiculous. We don’t just give contract extensions to first team players either, Morrell has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years but he certainly wasn’t ready for championship football in August, now he’s got a league one loan where he’s excelling, I’d much rather he had that than be a back up option for us...

Don’t think Morrell got an impression he was much rated either. LJ should’ve given him more than ONE league appearance last season. He deserved more than that considering packs poor form imo.

brad blit Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I think it’s clear to see that both Massengo and Brownhill have admirers and are the next ‘cash assets’ we are likely to sell to keep the club in yearly profit. Unless one is being sold in Jan (which would only be if we had a silly offer) then Morrell and Walsh will stay learning their trade in lower leagues until summer. Morrell signing a new contract is more about City making sure we don’t lose a player for nothing in 2 summers time potentially, rather than being thrust into first team where he would currently be 5th choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between rating someone and considering them to be good enough at that point. Only a year or two ago nobody wanted Morrell on loan and Johnson insisted that GJ took him for a year. Morrell was also given a new contract in November 2017 even though that was the year where no one wanted him on loan. Would have been an odd thing for a manager who "doesn't really rate him* to do.

Why should he wait til later than January? With respect, no he hasn’t. Please don’t tell me you’re calling c.200 mins of football with Wales as ‘proving yourself at a level far higher than the championship’ ? I think he’ll be a fine footballer but he’s proved nothing yet. These things take time. Look at what a couple of seasons of playing week in week out did for Taylor Moore, long after he’d been written off (and Johnson derided) over the signing.

Morrell was good enough though, he showed that in the cup games and Pack should never have played 46 games. LJ was happy to see Morrell go off to America to look at potential options on a permanent basis. It’s pretty normal to give any young player doing okay on loan a new contract. I like Morrell and think he should’ve played way more last season, LJ probably maybe agrees in hindsight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
