Oh you git. I'd almost forgotten Morgan. You remind me and I am feeling the loss all over again! I used to love watching Morgan command areas of the pitch. He and Wanyama were the playground bullies daring the opposition to have a go if they were hard enough. As others have said, I'm saddened to see his develpment halted.
Pierre is a different sort of player for me. You are comparing a highly cultured player with one who is like a frisky puppy. But as others have said, Morgan was trained in the school of hard knocks down in L1 and the Championship. I really like Pierre, and I enjoyed his performance at the weekend. Like Morgan he is an intelligent player who is learning rapidly. In the next couple of years, if we can keep both him and the manager, he could develop into something really special. Then we'll sell him to one of the top six and he'll disappear!
Wouldn't surprise me if he was sought after this summer. He will only have 2 years left after this season on his contract and if he keeps improving as he has done he may not be too interested in signing a new deal
