    But we can all agree he has actually thought before opening his mouth. He has handled himself far better then Lovren and Lallana did.

    It's definitely a considered and dignified response. Got to respect that. Hopefully the players we bring in will be enough to convince him to stay another year.

    That's how it's done, Lord Twatbeard.

    I love Morgan like Dan loves a Costa.

    Presumably Koeman's offered him the captaincy?

    Expect many rum jokes in our future.

    Sensible responses from Morgan.

    I don't get the sense that we've had any firm offers for him yet, so perhaps his opinion may change if Arsenal actually do make a move. Spurs are well numbered in his position and Van Gaal will have other targets in mind which means Arsenal apart his options are limited unless he goes abroad and then you wonder if teams abroad can match our valuation

    I suspect there's a lot of truth in that - covering his bases with both us and potential suitors. Smart boy.

    It's only words. Well chosen ones perhaps, but I'll judge every player by his actions ffrom now on.

    Totally agree, the lad has shown respect to the Club. Let's hope Koeman can get him to stay with the offer of the arm band and some excellent signings.

    Can always read what you like into things, but I like the way he refers to the club as 'we'. I'm reading it as Morgan will behave decently and he definitely hasn't decided to leave yet...so he will have a break to think about it and then meet up with Koeman.

    Quality response from Snidders and one that gives him time to carefully consider his position and the club to prove their ambition by who they buy.to replace the stars we have already lost.
    If by the time he returns for training in a fortnights time we still haven't bought anyone or the quality is significantly down on what he has become accustomed then he will be off...noone would blame him for that!
    Snidders seems to have control over his agent unlike Twatbeard and Lovren who used the press to get their 15% regardless of their client

    Respect. Hope he stays but if not, then his behaviour cannot really be criticised. Not enough Morgans in the game today.

    Yes, more eloquence and class in his second language than some have shown in their first, sadly.
