Sporting Lisbon and Morgan

[Montybulldog]

Totally agree, but within those systems clubs will still expect their wingers to be able to beat defenders. That isn't a part of Morgan's game because he doesn't have the pace or trickery. He has to work quite hard to get himself into shooting positions but the division has worked him out now so he's almost never able to cut in and shoot anymore. Without that, there's not much threat there.

Just to emphasise, this isn't a 'Morgan bad' post. He's a quality player at our level but unless something drastic happens I think the Championship is probably his ceiling.

Well said my thoughts exactly, compare him to N broadbent for his ability turn players and pick out a pass. He also works for harder than Whittaker off the ball.

Morgan is not particularly hard working in trying to back track, even when he is the 1 who has miss passed.

Take the £25 million.

 

[Montybulldog]

Not if we invest the money to strengthen the squad all round rather than relying on one player who is inconsistent. Anyway we won't get anywhere near 20m.

True, teams who want to progress, need an outlet in 3 or 4 positions. We also have to many midfielders with similar attributes. Like Houghton, Edwards, Randell and forshaw, comfortable in posession but none are a running threat, all honest hard workers but lack the physical flow running needed at the championships level.

Personally, Gibson, Galloway, Whittaker, and Cooper are the only players which you could consider championship.

 

[Montybulldog]

If Argyle are to stay up, then really ND, Nance and Shuey earlier in season have done a good job on limited resources.

 

[Montybulldog]

Whoever the new manager is if we remain.in.the championship, has a massive job to do in strengthening the team, least 3 midfielders, a LB, CB and two strikers.

To be honest if your being pragmatic, stating up this season would be a big result, but likely just delaying the inevitable let's hope I am wrong.

I honestly don’t think MW is worth even £5m and we should cash in if we get any silly offers

 

[Fergy]

He wouldn’t get a game at Sporting Lipson at the moment

 

[Frank Butcher]

Said it before and will say it again. For me he is the Championship’s Marcus Rashford. Very talented and has the potential to go a long way, but has a tendency to drift and look disinterested.

He looks every inch a top footballer but as good as he could be, I don’t think I’d be investing/gambling £10M of my money.

 

[Cobi Budge]

Whittaker is a wonderful footballer when he wants to be, but he has a tendency to drift in and out of games, when he’s interested he’s unplayable, when he isn’t he’s invisible.

Hopefully the next manager can get him playing as Schumacher did, or we can sell him for a sizeable fee to strengthen the rest of the team.

I love him but would take that deal.. that could be more cash than an investor might put up..

What's the deal mate?

 

[David Friio's mate]

If he keeps performing like he has been lately, there's no way he gets a big move.

He was appalling today, and shooting off without acknowledging the fans when every other member of the Argyle party did was not a good look.

Sell Whittaker don’t know if we’ll get 20 million now thou since Azaz and Cundle have gone he has been ineffective . He can’t take corners or free kicks.

 

[Born green]

He's a luxury player who plays well in a decent team...
In a struggling side like ours at the moment,he goes missing, becomes selfish and doesn't track back.
A lower league Beckham for me

People keep saying this but he was brilliant in January after they left

 

[up the line]

Well on the evidence of the last two games (yes, Leicester too) he's given up playing for Argyle.
By the way, who are Sporting Lisbon?!
I know Sporting Clube de Portugal are a team based in Lisbon....
