MurrayWilson 3,393 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We can definitely make a lot of money on this lad if we can have the sense and the balls to hold out for what he will actually be worth a couple of years from now. When you see the money they pay for strikers in the EPl then we have to hold out for decent money.Could be our biggest ever transfer if he developes and we play it right.

SPWF 8,232 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Don’t know the details of his contract, but whatever he’s on per week isn’t enough and the contract isn’t long enough. The boy’s proved in 6 months that he has the potential to be a top player, and we need to protect our asset. Get him tied down on a bumper contract and he’ll repay us in goals, trophies and,  a few years down the line, a multi million pound move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,606 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I thought we should have given him the two weeks off as he's had a lot of football second half when we pressed high it suited his game to a tee as he wasn't isolated upfront.

Prso's headband 35,450 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 More league goals than the thumb and dembele. Never once has he been linked with a £20 million move yet... But aye he’s top class and will probably be our first guaranteed 20 goal a season striker in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I have no faith in our board to tie him down on a long term contract and insert a sizable release clause. No doubt be a two year extension and £5m tops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,995 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Definitely the best prospect we have had in recent years. I think we should be exploring the Scandinavian market a lot more than we do already Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he bangs another 20 goals and fire us to a double. Then he might get a wee snippet in the rhags putting him forward for it. We should have team mates and the manager telling all and sundry he deserves it now and building him up. Same with Foderingham. England are in crisis in GK position. All their big hitters are having horrible seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amato 3,016 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think if he finishes the season well we might see some bids coming in. I'll call it just now- I think Morelos will be our record highest sale when he goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth_is_out_there 197 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Agree with the comments - definitely one of the better signings this season. He's still a bit raw, but will be some player when he hits his peak. And I think he would have scored even more so far if we had a better option than Herrera beside him. Got a feeling lots of clubs from down south will be sniffing around looking to buy him in the summer...hope we get one more season out of him at the very least.

He’s brilliant, by far my favourite player. Really want him to stay for quite a few years before he’s sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB72 1,525 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thing I find mental is that he misses a lot of chances and is still the top scorer just wait a few years  with a bit more experience and this kid will be a star especially if he has a quality striker up top with him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Excellent prospect. Hard working, mobile, hungry, aggressive, hates losing, scowls constantly, never hides and doesn't let misses put him off. He is a very promising player.

I know we have had some crap forwards in the last few years but unless he finishes the season on 20-25 goals in the league including a few against them he is not deserving of a new contract.

Away and take yer face fur a shite.  First season in Shitlands top league against dirty bastards that call thmesleves footballers, thousands of miles away from his own country, only 21, different language, different culture, trying to get to know his new team mates and team formations, how they play and the demands of playing for us, some shite players in our team, no decent experienced supportive forward, the behind the scenes bullshit with the manager and board.  And as so many others have mentioned if he was wearing grey and green he’d be touted in the media as a raw future £30m player with all the talent in the world.  You are having a fkn laugh.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are serious, then you tick the bit where other posters say, if you wait long enough in life, you eventually hear, see and read everything. Oh and no disrespect, but the bit about smelling shyte seems reasonable as well, given the context of your comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gers31 246 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Morelos is not the Finnished article by all means but he has proved he can find the net he is strong but lacks in heading ability and most of his passing is poor he only thinks about one thing and that's shoot from anywere but he is our top scorer so far and hope he keeps scoring will be a great money spinner for us when the times right great find by JJ ?
