VectisSaint Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Commentator said "he might of played his last game for Saints" as Morgan left the pitch. Mischievous comment no doubt but made me realise, he could be right :-(Edit: On the NBC stream I was watchingThink its a one game suspension, not half a season. Why do people continue to ignore Ronald's unequivocal statements.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 I did think when he got sent off that he did not look so bothered about it. It does seem strange that his absences have been when we are due to play Arsenal. Would like to think its a massive co-incidence....but i'm not so sure!
Charlie Wayman Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Think its a one game suspension, not half a season. Why do people continue to ignore Ronald's unequivocal statements. Red card is a three game suspension surely? He was a yard off the pace today hence the desperate tackling that earned him yellows. Morgan is always a car crash waiting to happen with his silly habit of jabbing out a foot when exasperated. He is certainly an accomplished player but on today's evidence not disciplined enough to match Fabregas & Co. He'd struggle to get into the Chelsea team and most likely Man City as well. His absence from the Arsenal games is a co-incidence not conspiratorial as the more nervous on here postulate. Maybe there is a Saints conspiracy to keep him away from Wenger?
Matthew Le God Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Red card is a three game suspension surely? Two yellow cards in a game = 1 match suspension.

Two yellows = one red = a one match ban. It's not like violent conduct or serious foul play, more like denying a goal-scoring opportunity.
whelk Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Depends on the offence. Violent conduct is 3 games.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Depends on the offence. Violent conduct is 3 games. Violent conduct is a straight red card, Schneiderlin got 2 yellows today... which is a 1 match ban.

Bewildered Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Sevilla DM Gregorz Krychnowiak (linked to Arsenal since late october), tweeted this afternoon that he has agreed terms with an English club. Perhaps he is going to be the DM signing Arsenal have needed for the last two years?

Maggie May Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 What part of the manager saying no one is leaving in January did you fail to understand? How can you seriously say/believe that after what happened in the summer?

Patrick Bateman Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 How can you seriously say/believe that after what happened in the summer? Morgan will more likely than not be with Saints until the summer, then I have no doubts he'll be off regardless of how well we do. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up abroad though, PSG or somewhere like that.
whelk Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Violent conduct is a straight red card, Schneiderlin got 2 yellows today... which is a 1 match ban. I was answering his question. I know the rules but thanks
Saint_Tony Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 From what I've heard Spurs won't be making a move in January, but still interested. He deserves a better club than them anyway.

So he didn't look bothered because he may play for Arsenal sometime in the future? That's nearly as good as some of Pap's conspiracy theories.

Alain Perrin Posted 29 December, 2014 Posted 29 December, 2014 Apparently part of the deal we made with Arsenal when they signed Morgan for us was that he'd have to miss a certain number of games against them through suspension. MS is just keeping to the letter of the contract.

Window Cleaner Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 (edited) Hope he stays but fear the worst Why so ? Can't see the problem, Arsenal won't pay the price and can't see anyone else interested enough in the January window to pay it either..if there even is a price if you see what I mean. Think he'll go to Rome next summer. Edited 30 December, 2014 by Window Cleaner
stevegrant Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'll be here for the rest of the season unless someone (PSG, Arsenal or Man United) throws genuinely silly money (£30m+) our way, and even then we might hold out until the summer. I've no doubt that he'll be gone in the summer, even if we somehow finish in the top 4, and I'd find it difficult to begrudge him that move - someone will pay him the best part of £100k a week, and we can't come close to matching that. I think I'd prefer him to go to PSG where he can't hurt us further down the line!
CB Fry Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'll be here for the rest of the season unless someone (PSG, Arsenal or Man United) throws genuinely silly money (£30m+) our way, and even then we might hold out until the summer.

Turkish Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'd never leave if Cortese was still here.

I think I'd prefer him to go to PSG where he can't hurt us further down the line! ^^^ this. I think as we are pushing in and around the CL places the club won't sell in Jan unless the money is stupidly high. I don't think Arsenal or Spurs will stump up the cash for him so that leaves only Man U who might take him in the PL IMO. I'd like to see him go abroad myself.
CB Fry Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'd never leave if Cortese was still here. Don't ask if Morgan would have definitely stayed, ask how.

I think I'd prefer him to go to PSG where he can't hurt us further down the line! Agreed, it seems clear to me that the Club and Morgan agreed that he would stay until the end of this summer come what may, but like you I expect him to move on before next season. My only slight cause for disagreement is that if we "somehow finish in the top 4" PSG are just as bad an option for him to join as anyone else (assuming we could get through the qualifier into the Champions League proper if we finished 4th which would be the most likely finishing spot). It would be rather disappointing to qualify for the group stages in the same group as PSG and for Morgan to be responsible for our elimination. I know, its a long shot. Think it is more likely he will end up in Spain, if he doesn't stay in the PL.
Spudders Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 I think I'd prefer him to go to PSG where he can't hurt us further down the line! Are they likely to be in the champions league next season? What if he goes there and we get drawn against them?
Saint Charlie Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'd never leave if Cortese was still here. You don't know that for sure, we will never know. But it is likely he would have been a Saint for life.

VectisSaint Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 Dont worry we will not be in fourth position at the end of the season probably 7th which is really good Believe me, I won't worry. Response to the original post by Steve. That said, 4th is not impossible, after all we are 4th now, and we have played every other team once. Just depends whether we have the determination to strengthen in January (in addition to EE) to provide depth to our "waffer thin" squad. We are likely to be seriously stretched in January without Mane and Yoshida (oh and that other wastrel) and Cork and JRod.
St_Tel49 Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He'll be here for the rest of the season unless someone (PSG, Arsenal or Man United) throws genuinely silly money (£30m+) our way, and even then we might hold out until the summer.

lordswoodsaints Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He took one for the team,as simple as that

The Cat Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 He took one for the team,as simple as that Exactly. He didn't look bothered because he knew the ref would send him off. No point arguing about it.
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 December, 2014 Posted 30 December, 2014 Exactly. He didn't look bothered because he knew the ref would send him off. No point arguing about it. He'll never get a transfer to a club like Chelsea with an attitude like that.
