Not sure about this one. Happy with the midfield we have but get the feeling PEH will be off after a good season and Interest from a bigger club. The saints and Morgan are a great fit and if comes back would see out a good few seasons. A move south, nearer his homeland should be appealing. Would rather him stay at utd than go to Everton. On a similar note, why can't klopp see how sh1t clyne is? Send him back, we have still got the receipt, we may be able to find room for him.
I may well be proven wrong (I often am) but since the summer of our discontent every single player we've sold unwillingly had been in the final two years of contract. PEH is contracted until 2021. He won't go next summer. Vin
Clasie still fails to convince me, he's good but not 'special'. I've always thought that Davis would end his career at Rangers. So a huge, "yes please" to Morgan.
She'll put on endless cassettes of Welsh male voice choirs singing, she'll make you sandwiches filled with bacon and seaweed and round it all of with cockles and Welsh cakes. She'll stop at every service station for a comfort break and a cigarette (her one failing) and go on and on and on about Dylan Thomas and Welsh rugby. Then she'll put on her cassette of Under Milk Wood but what ever you do don't mention Owain Glyndŵr . You should both get on like a house on fire.
What if United tempt us to buy Morgan back but want Virgil in exchange? To my mind Virgil is easily the best CB in the entire PL so Saints should get him to sign a new contract with a sell on clause in the region of £60m. If John Stones can command a fee close to £50m, then VVD is surely worth far, far more.
Sod's Law that there'll be one more twist of the knife. But logic says no - they have Victor, Dembele, Dier etc. It is too much of a luxury even for Spurs to have four midfielders of that quality. Morgan might not even get football there at this point. He needs cast iron guarantees. I reckon maybe Everton, given the well-worn route from Man U-Everton. But reckon is a solid chance of heading back to France (my preference, other than back here).
But they do!! OK so VVD is priced at £45m, but given that he is the best CB in the PL, do you think SFC should up it by getting him to sign a new contract with appropriate buy out clause?
Normally, I'd say that if two United managers don't rate him, they might be on to something. But those two managers have been van Gaal and Mourinho, and both have gotten underwhelming results, so I'll take it as a sign that it'd be doubly funny were he to play excellent football after returning from their bench.
Not sure we should take him back just because he's available. We need a striker and a CB after all, not another midfielder. And what message does it send out to future Saints players? Clasie came here to play football, not be dropped the moment one of our exes decides he doesn't like being a reserve player at Man U.
Well said. Jordy Clasie is a fine player who we certainly haven't seen the best of yet. I think under Claude we might see plenty more from him.
Whilst I agree we need to look at other positions first (though I'm of the opinion we need a dm pretty urgently but that's a different debate.) loyalty - or a lack of - works both ways. To use Jordy as an example he won't be bothered about the impact on us should he decide to move for a bigger club. And we shouldn't turn down a player who is likely to improve us just to keep Jordy happy. Dog eat dog and all that... I know the Morgan thing is unlikely but this is just hypothetical and using this example.
Clasie will no doubt improve but he has not got anywhere close to the level of performance we saw from Morgan
For the record I like Clasie and think he's come on massively already this year. Will only get better from here as well.
This will happen on the same day as we sign Alex OC back from Arsenal. Seriously, we are experts at buying cheap and selling expensive. Morgan will not be cheap enough for us.
