I think he is one of our players who wouldnt look out of his depth in the premier league by a long shot
I heard (havent see it) that Morgan has a Saints tattoo on his upper arm. I also understand he is very happy at Saints. TBH given where we were a few years ago you wouldnt have been surprised him leaving, but I think he loves the club (with or without tattoo). Morgan, Kelvin and Adam are the only ones left from say 3 years ago arent they. Part of the core.
Yes I agree he was missed against Reading, but I believe tackling isn't a strong point of his, whereas say Hammond provides us with this whilst Morg provides us with control and fluidity. To be able to have to choose from 4 central midfielders is quite a luxury though!
Cheers Jean. All great players drift in and out. Le Tiss did it; Channon did it and so on. Guly takes stick, but that flick against Reading for the Steve De Ridder run is why he is always worth playing. As someone said, Morgan is a great buy and we'll be rewarded by watching the development of an extremely talented player. On se plait, Morgan!
None of our midfield combos are to shabby we have players in this area who offer all types of qualities. I do however remember seeing Morgan at close hand in a friendly at Basingstoke just after his arrival from France and was gobsmacked at his range and accuracy of passing and it was easy to see why we spent quite a sum on someone so young and personally i am always happy when he starts for us
Apparently Spider took it upon himself to look after Ward-Prowse on Tuesday, compare that with the attitude of Puncheon towards Oxo, if the rumours of bullying were true?
They weren't. Most Saints fans still believe that rumour because they have a vendetta against Punch... The boys actually got on really well with eachother - The problem was that Punch didn't like how a 17 year old was immediately ahead of him in the pecking order without him himself getting a chance to prove his ability to Adkins... Which he 'voiced his opinion' about. But there was never a personal problem between Chambo & Punch. When it comes to Puncheon & some of the other lads though, well that's a completely different story. Anyway Morgan is different class and I love him, I bladdy well hope he starts on Saturday.
There is an article on skysports.com saying that how much Morgan is enjoying life under Nigel and fighting for his place and for being allowed to play a passsing game instead of hoofing by Pardew and chasing the 2nd ball............sounds good to me.
Morgan was probably right to be annoyed at being knocked out of the CC Tuesday, we would have been playing at Old Trafford next round!
