angelman Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 That would be because the French national tam is picked on performance and game time rather than which club you play for I suppose. If only England had the same idea Didn't I hear Woy talking recently that historically someone played well so was likely to get included? Wilshere I think it was! If that is the attitude, then no wonder we are **** at tournaments. As for Morgan, I really couldn't care less. He threw a strop (albeit was made to stay) and thought the grass was greener over the other side of the fence. It was his choice, he can live with it.

French Connection Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 He was upset at not being allowed to leave and went on to give us an excellent season , he was most professional , I am sorry for him and wish him well wherever he ends up . I hope the talent he has will prosper under another manager . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 He did us proud over many seasons and left with dignity. Him and Luke will probably be alright long term - not sure about the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 Sell Vic for £20m and bring Morgan back for £15m and have him with Clasie and Romeu as our centre mids. Be a nice trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get £15 max for Wanyama IMO. Even with new PL money- the fact he is in final year of contract will reduce price IMO. Only potential way it will go up, having said that, is if there is a bidding war for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 Sell Vic for £20m and bring Morgan back for £15m and have him with Clasie and Romeu as our centre mids. Be a nice trio. A - we won't get £20m for Wanyama, probably about £12m. B - Utd won't sell Morgan for £15m C - Morgan won't take a massive pay cut to come here when Spurs have much more cash and Champs League football.

The9 Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 Not the fact he has been bang average for most of the season and a red card magnet then..... He had an excellent record for them initially, having only lost one match when actually picked when the rest of the team was piling up the defeats... until their recent injury crisis. He's hardly played in a winning team since Christmas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 Not at all. But lets not pretend he left with dignity. He did what many would do. He absolutely left with dignity. Having thrown his toys initially (and not surprisingly when half the team were allowed to leave basically because they got out first), he played very well from the start of the season to his injury before the end, put in excellent, professional performances throughout and went with the best wishes of most.

Saint Without a Halo Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 Didn't play and out of Europe also dropped from the French squad the dream move turning a bit sour I feel a bit sorry for him as he always gave us his best and for the first three seasons we were up he was outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the new manager appreciates him more. Or he moves on to a decent team. Always thought Arsenal would suit him far better, though he'd fit at Spurs now. Or move to a big team such as Leicester. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkboy Posted 17 March, 2016 Share Posted 17 March, 2016 I don't have any animosity towards him at all but I certainly don't feel sorry for him. It was his decision to leave, his wages will have inflated beyond his wildest dreams, and he's playing for a massive club. Feel sorry for him? No way.

Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk They might be a shadow of their former selves but that doesn't make them any less huge in terms of support around the world. It hasn't worked for him so far but it's his first season, maybe the big club pressure has got to him. Let's see what happens next season, possibly with another manager. But however it turns out, he made the decision to go there so I'm not going to have a little cry on his behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockportsaint Posted 18 March, 2016 Share Posted 18 March, 2016 Mourinho will love him next season. This. Mourinho's teams typically use two holding midfielders who can tackle and screen the back four, plus move the ball to the attacking midfielders. Makelele, Matic, Mikel etc. Morgan is at least as good as Matic, and definitely better than the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 18 March, 2016 Share Posted 18 March, 2016 Losing your international spot and seeing your career go into reverse is often a price you pay for leaving a good progressive nurturing club to get splinters on your butt keeping the bench warm at a glory club.

If we only made 3 signings this summer and it was those three, I think that would be pretty exciting. Chambers left far far too early in his development and he has suffered for it. You can always understand why hex went to Arsensl but if you look at the facts ( and the Ox, and Theo to a lesser degree) have not fulfilled their potential under the so called master that people think Wenger is. Get all three back, decide whether Chambers is a CB or a RB, play the OX as the AM and sit Morgan in front of the defence. Sorted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 18 March, 2016 Share Posted 18 March, 2016 I find it hilarious to be honest. Barely a week used to pass by last season without him popping up in some French media outlet telling the world how he was looking forward to his next challenge and wasn't going to be watching tv on a Wednesday night anymore (i.e. Off to Champions League). I wouldn't be surprised though if Spurs come in with a cheeky £20m bid for him this summer, United might be happy to off-load, depends if Spurs feel they're well enough covered in midfield now or not.

Charlie Wayman Posted 18 March, 2016 Share Posted 18 March, 2016 Its really sad. I have heard some rag fans saying how **** he is. He adds nothing & is a complete waste of money. Clueless bunch. The fact that he stayed with us for so long suggests he is quite a sensitive and loyal young man and must be going through his own mini misery hell right now. No doubt he will have reviewed in his mind whether he should have stayed here after all rather than be lured away by the fading glamour of a once big club. He will come good again 'though once he is working with people who make him feel valued and settled, that isn't what van Gaal is offering right now.
