Im not saying he will turn his career around with us but at the same I am not going to just write him off due to his past failings. Well, if he signs we will see ?

DCFC1388 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Leeds Ram said: I don't want to sound mean but how has his personal situation changed now from the last 3 clubs he was at in the previous 2 years? There must be a reason why he keeps signing to clubs but can't buy a game and there is nothing to suggest this will be any different. If we can't do any better than a 28 year old whose played around 100 games in 9 years then we'll be really struggling. When under an embargo we are going to be struggling to get much better, thats where we are as a club. As someone mentioned its talented but flawed (Morrison), average Champ players (Aluko/Baldock) or very experienced players at the end of their careers (Jagielka/Stearman), not sure what fans are actually expecting. Someones personal or mental situation can easily have changed in 2 years or even less so who knows what may have happened. Im not saying this will work out but why write him off before you see him play in a DCFC shirt? We have spent alot of money on in form players who have turned out as bad signings, we have got freebies who fans wrote off but been decent. Old/young, in form/cast off, british/foreign, free/big money - there is no guarantee on any of it RoyMac5, Dimmu, AlvoRam! and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have spent alot of money on in form players who have turned out as bad signings, we have got freebies who fans wrote off but been decent. Old/young, in form/cast off, british/foreign, free/big money - there is no guarantee on any of it I'm perfectly understanding of our situation as a club. I'm not actually against players in such as Aluko, Baldock and Jagielka necessarily as I think that is where we are at as a club and we have to accept that. I am against getting in players who've had 13 clubs in 10 years, played 98 games in their career and only 32 in the past 4 years. All the evidence suggests Morrison's attitude has been consistently awful for over a decade and that this hasn't changed in recent times. Even when he was on loan at Middleborough in 2019-2020 he only got a couple of appearances and fans didn't like what they saw the little that they did. Ado Den Haag last season he managed a paltry 4 games. In my view it's a complete waste of time and effort signing him and if our scouts can't find a player whose played more than 32 games in the past 4 seasons then god help us.

Honestly that's pretty damn debatable and their is enough examples to the contrary. I will add the caveat that this is the impression I have based on interviews, how players are playing and the bits around why players have left. You can't really know for sure how good someone is at man management unless you are there day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Rooney bollocked him and he pulled himself up a bit but immediately got injured! Looked better in the final match. It's a small window but the first few games coming back from injury he was in decent form (thinking the forest game and the couple after) but then went off the boil and stayed that way.

Leeds Ram Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: I believe the likes of Davies, Kazim, Jagielka and Shinnie will play a big role in Morrison's success at the club. His failings in the past appear to stem from suffering from ADHD, so the wrong people around him in his personal life especially didn't help. Common ADHD symptoms are impulsiveness and an limitation in being able to pay attention. The four players I listed seem to have a good mix of personalities to help look after him and meet his needs Are you saying that Middlesbrough, Ado Den Haag, Manchester United, Lazio, and QPR to name but 5 clubs didn't have experienced players and personalities to look after him and meet his needs? What makes us any different exactly? and if his ADHD is so bad that it's completely thwarted his chances in the game to this extent then what has changed precisely that means he'll be a success here?

And the whole team is led by inpiring talker whose has shown to have heart of gold in how he treats elderly. FFS, you couldn't make it up ??

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Anyone think he will make it on the pitch in the Manu friendly? Given parsity of players maybe a reasonable chance of 45m. Then we can make a slightly better judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesy 1984 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thought Morrison played well vs Utd today, good and positive on the ball and seemed to work hard off it. Constantly tried to make things happen and play forward. If ( I know it’s a big if) he can continue playing like this, he will walk into our side. Definitely more creative than anyone else who we have available Carnero, Rampage, AlvoRam! and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
