He'd already been playing & looked good. King I would've had in alongside Goldson when Balogun/Helander had their injuries but we persisted with Bassey at CB and Barisic at LB Weston is a bit tougher as we've always had options in Roofe & Sakala then brought Itten back in January, as shite as they are they're option's and no manager is playing a kid before them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that will be flipped around now & we'll be pushing Morelos to sign a deal & depending on how bad this injury is, he might actually have no choice. Problem is with 12 months left on his deal, your only likely getting 70% best-case of his full market value.  He’s the one of Kent, Aribo, Goldson that I can actually see staying beyond summer.  Ross Wilson needs to get his finger out and get him on a new deal. The other 3 can go IMO, they aren’t as big a loss to us as people think Valance1690 and demise 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gerrard played him up top once or twice and he wasn't great from what I remember, although if we persist in playing the same style we would with Alfie up top, I would try him rather than Roofe, even though Roofe is the far better player. I think Sakala would do a lot more running than Roofe, and would turn and run at players. I like Roofe but can't see him being successful if we try and shoehorn him into a system that goes against his natural game.

The other 3 can go IMO, they aren’t as big a loss to us as people think Aye before today's news I think Morelos would've left and you're right, we probably get somewhere around 70% of his value. After this, I'd say it's more likely he signs an extension or ends up leaving on a free. No club is coming in with 8 figures for a player just back from a long term injury and an OP so either we take a lowball offer, we get him to sign or we lose him for nothing Shocking state of affairs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
