Endo. He doesn't do well in training because he can't / won't kick lumps out of teammates.
Malick Fofana incoming?
fair but he’s always giving the ball away and 32
Think that might happen.
That's because he wants to kick lumps out of the guy he passed the ball to...
Okay, more seriously now... if we bring age into the equation, then there's Bajcetic, McConnell and Nyoni, who're all 2 to 4 years (Nyoni) younger than Morton, and who have done reasonably well when inserted in games in the past. So there's an argument to be made that we could keep one or two of them over Morton instead.
Not that I've a problem with Morton, it's just that frankly, I find it hard nowadays to maintain interest in a player's prospects of making it here when he's been out on loan for consecutive seasons. I've come to the realisation that guys who go down this path already have their fate at the club determined, so to contemplate them returning to compete for a place in the squad is likely not good use of time.
As far as I recall, there isn't any instance of an Academy player being retained at the club after consecutive season loans. Does Morton appear special enough to buck the trend? Granted, I haven't kept track of how he did at the clubs he went to (Blackburn, Hull), but based on limited looks, I don't really have the impression that he's a tier better than the other youngsters mentioned above.
Conversely, for the Academy products who went on to play regularly for the seniors -- if we look beyond the outstanding guys like Sterling and Trent who never went on loan, even a squad player like Curtis Jones never went on loan. Bradley went on loan for a season. Elliott -- also a season, and that because of the deal we did with Fulham. Fabinho? Two loans... gone.
Endo has a body of work here in 2 seasons that I trust. Plus, Japan has 3 years' life expectancy edge over the UK, so Endo is strictly speaking, only 29 years old in the West.
There's rumours Madrid want to hijack the Isak deal. Also, fuck Trent!

Bullshit rumour. Madrid can't afford him. Also he won't go there to become a "Owen".
Can we stop with Madrid can't afford him! They have €500m in the bank
I don’t know. I think they could do with a proper #9 as the Mbappé / Vini / Bellingham thing hasn’t quite gelled yet.
I don’t think scoring is really the issue. Having a crap defence and bolstering with someone who doesn’t want to defend isn’t going to help.
Maybe. But considering there's now a new manager with a new style of play, I can't see them wanting to throw out the expensive triumvirate yet.
Next year, maybe. I just can't see it this summer
Is our defence really crap? It was good enough to win the league last year, and we've potentially improved left and right back. We've lost Quansah, who played in what, 13 league games last year. We're definitely short a CB, especially if we want to challenge in as many competitions again, but I think we're from crap?
Ours isn’t. And it’s better than last year provided the current CBs stay fit.
It’s definitely better than Madrid’s which I was referring to.
Ah, my mistake.
Head of Academy Recruitment. Its in the Tweet. I jest.
I've asked people to make apost about the backroom staff, instead of sticking it in Miscellaneous. No one feels its worth a discussion
What are you asking for?
Do or do not… there is no ask?
Or something.
Anyway, I think you’re allowed to start threads that aren’t about tweets you’ve found from random people on X who have about as many followers as me… and I don’t have an X account.
Try it… maybe people will flock to the new thread and we’ll see a new non-transfer related insightful side to you.
What could possibly go wrong!!!
Is he new? Or a recent acquisition by the gurus up on top?
I start enough threads as it is!
Been at the club 6 years and worked himself up
Oh interesting - thanks.
