I could not blame him for taking a pay day to go and play in Wales.
We opted not to extend his contract so clearly have limited interest in him staying here.

The longer this window goes on without us making any signings, the more I feel players like Morell and Herbie Kane should have been our primary targets.
We are in with the big boys now, and I feel we are finding out the firepower of other clubs, with deeper pockets.

The longer the saga goes on, the more likely the outcome becomes bad, so I think we are already waving Morrel goodbye, sad as it may seem, that's football today

He is not available to anyone until June 30th and is still injured. Don't expect this to be settled any time soon, but it looks likely that he will be going somewhere.

We all need to stay patient. Every summer that there is an international tournament, most of the transfer business happens after teams start to return home.

I believe that this is a pretty accurate assessmrent of the current position. 'We are in with the big boys now, and I feel we are finding out the firepower of other clubs, with deeper pockets.' Very true. Now, quite literally, we're in a different league. Nobody can dispute that Richard Hughes has done a fantastic job but putting together a squad (FGR) for League Two with some half decent backing wasn't a huge task. Last season Cowley had aleready put together a decent bunch of players and year ago RH had the job of strengthening that squad with a view of challenging for a 'play-off' spot. He was able to do this with the backing of the ownrers and this enabled the brilliant Mousinho to build a Championship team. Now that we're in the Championship it's a whole new ball game and we will struggle in the transfer market to compete with the Clubs with far greater financial backing including parachute payments. It's simple. We're unlikely to cmpete when it comes to seven figure fees and even freebies expect Championship wages well in excess of what our players earn This can only be acheived by holding onto players with experience and potential like Morrell and Swanson...I'm sure they won't dissappoint. My view is that furter strenthening and improving the squad has to come from League One, like the lad from Barnsley, and loan signings.

I do agree with that. I'd like to see us trying to keep Morell and Swanson. To get better players than them will probably cost more than we want to spend.

Don’t panic, the transfers won’t really start until the Euros are finished. We’ll be absolutely fine. Top pitch, top manager, top football director (?) and a top half squad once the season starts .
Keep the faith. PUP. Strong Island.

talking deeper pockets, how many of the other clubs are in receipt of parachute payments, if they go on for three years it could be anything up to 9 clubs, which is getting on for half of the league!

Luton made it to the prem and they did it the right way. Now they have parachute payments but will probably struggle until they move to their new stadium, where that money is probably going.
However, they did get there! So let's just wait and see how this unfolds before sinking our chances due to money alone please. |
