From Despair To Where? Zip From Despair To Where? OK then, next summer when Watson and Morrison have gone, if Richards and McIntyre sign new contracts, we're left with 6 defenders including Araruna.
Why is Morrison gone next summer?
I'm not saying he will go or that I want him to go but he's out of contract next summer and will be 33. I don't think think its particularly outlandish to suggest he may not be here next season.
Totally agree. He's one of my favourite players, but we've seen before how older players can fall off a cliff, fail to recover from knocks etc
From the club's POV, approaching 34, they will have to have arranged the succession, have to have insurance against Moore moving on. We need McIntyre level or McIntyre+ level CBs who can step in almost immediately. I like the idea of VG youngsters getting games, experience and being almost-ready for regular first-team action. Only issue is keeping them happy.
But it could be we are looking to send out our Academy CBs for a season on loan. Who knows?
What I'm always amused at though, is how we have intense discussions without
asking "Why does THE CLUB want to get these people in?"
Sometimes (not too often, of course) I think, the manager the DoF, half a dozen coaches, scouts,
between them, maybe, just MAYBE, they know better than a trainee accountant from Basingstoke
