Tom; what l now write is supposition, but from what l read of Morgan's quotes, had we have held 4th place and got that CL spot; might he have stayed too? l guess the question is rhetorical and what has passed has passed, but l will always wonder what might have been.
Clasie is a upgrade. If we bring in one more DM we will have a stronger midfield (on paper) then last season. We also have Gape that will get the odd game here and there.
Its that Catch 22 when you want the youngsters to have more game time/exposure and at the same time want the luxury of more experience! l certainly think we need that DM.
We all want one more DM/CM, Romsey wants one of each. Which I feel is too many.
I would actually go as far as to say that had Saints had achieved the 'something special' that Morgan continued to talk about during the season then his leaving may not have been inevitable.
Every one has their own opinions. I may disagree with you but I am not going not going to act a dick about it. If we do sign 2 cms then I won't complain.
Feel the same way Beefy - sometimes people take things too literal - if it were a chat over a pint it comes over so differently; 'curse of the internet'.
As I wrote earlier; anything l write would be supposition; I am not in the know and as l have written above; its all past us now. We look ahead and, my view, is we need more depth to ensure we do not fall away as we have the past two years. The debate we are having really hinges is on the number of midfielders we need.
Now you are complicating the discussion (smiles- tablet does not like expressions for some reason??). Schad, you are moving the discussion up the pitch!!!!
Do not know a lot about him, but what people have written he seems to 'ticks the boxes'.
He had 2 years left on his contract. He would have used one up to end his Saints adventure.
