Guest Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Saw this earlier. It's like what I said before and got a few replies thinking what I said was ridiculous...Small players like Morrell can need more time to develop physically than naturally taller and bigger players. Clearly LJ knows this being the exact same height as Morrell, and LJ himself being nowhere near championship standard in his early 20s when in the lower leagues, maybe even non league at Morrell's age (can't be bothered to look up where Yeovil were exactly!). LJ obviously saw what Morrell can do on the ball, his work ethic and attitude and could see that what he was missing will eventually come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, MA said LJ has always rated him. If I ask his dad whether that’s the truth, he’ll just think I’m trying to shit-stir. 1 minute ago, Spoons said: Must be the same people who said Frankie fielding was over 6ft!

petehinton Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Always rated him but was flogging him to clubs left right and centre Standard club output here.

Had a pre season at Yeovil a season or two ago. Constantly the fall guy for subs in games even when playing well. Must be 6th(?) choice CM.

How much of it was clubs coming us for him vs us asking around for clubs to take him is my point tho.

Wolf Island Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’ve no doubt Joe will be a Champ or Prem player in next couple of seasons. Re his height saw him in his car peering over the steering wheel he must be LJ's height max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion that LJ has always rated him or foresaw this sudden development is imo a load of baloney. Nobody really saw it coming and LJ is no different. The central midfielders signed over him, the appalling lack of game time last season and the fact Morrell was free to leave us a couple seasons ago without much worry from LJ all suggest this.

Gave him his debut at 16!!! Back to LJ, I honestly don’t know how much he’s rated him, but he made his dad take him at Cheltenham. He certainly had Joe’s interests at heart. Recognised he needed game time, and knew he was better than Margate and Sutton’s level at 20 years of age (now 22). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
