DLBud Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Stop behaving like one then. Your nauseatingly familiar drivel is consistent in your criticism of the club and the manager irrespective of the circumstances. I actually believe you take the opposite view simply to generate some attention and keep yourself relevant which, on reflection, is a wee bit sad. I don’t consider myself a brave individual so I’m calling you out “anonymously” because that’s how forums work. PM me if you wish and we can meet up before a game and exchange views as I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can purport to love their club and constantly put them down and ridicule their efforts to lead us forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Anyway back to the Thread So well deserved for Lewis, he has worked so hard and obviously Jack has really helped. I think Morgan will be Scottish International for years. I remember watching BT Sports U21 game v England and they raved about him, also helped ,virtually every time he got the ball he did something positive..... I also think he will be in the Celtic team next season................. Also BR may well loan us some other players next season - some decent ones- great business for Saints and have to say Celtic Rangers missing talented youngsters- that's a first ha ha Edited December 21, 2017 by DougJamie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone that doesn't think Celtic are getting him on the cheap? Everyone knows that. the point is more it's nothing within our clubs control (or any club at this level) because of his contract length and previous willingness to sign an extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maboza Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 13 hours ago, faraway saint said: I don't agree. I think Celtic like a winger who can give them a real attacking option and Morgan, IMO, fits the bill. Too many people jumping aboard the "Hell be warming the bench" bus, I think he's got more than that and Rodgers will utilise this. I'd also like to think that he'll get a fair crack at the first team. You only have to watch our games to see teams attempts at stifling Morgan, doubling and sometimes trebling up on him. That won't happen at Celtic as they have threats throughout the team. Even when teams clock on and he is doubled up on, you'd expect Celtic to work better as a team at exploiting the space that it creates around the rest of the park. I really hope he gets a good chance for them. I'm no great fan of James Forrest for Scotland but he seems to do well for Celtic. I think Morgan has more of an end product even at such a young age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Morgan has sold us short. He could easily have signed a 2 or 3 year extension to his present Contract in the summer. Absolutely no detriment to himself. He would still have got his major move with a few Clubs bidding for him. And I am guessing we would have got at least a Million Pounds for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 And who really gives a feck how Celtic do, with or without Morgan in their Team. Still a Club, like Sevco, funded by sectarianism, bigotry and hatred. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of Lewis but i cannot see how he will get a game for their first XI any time soon unfortunately. He has Sinclair, Forrest, Roberts, McGregor & Hayes in front of him for his position and Christie and Scott Allan (although probably not) returning from loan spells elsewhere who will also be ahead of him. Johnny Hayes was one of the best wingers in our Premiership over the last two or three years and even he cant get a regular game. He's definitely one for the future but at his age and to continue his development he needs to play and play on a regular basis. I know he's due to come back to us on loan til' the end of the season which is great but he needs to be playing regular football beyond that. I'd hate to see him rotting away in a development squad to then turn up at Partick Thistle a few years later as half the player he could've been. We've seen it happen all too often especially with the Old Firm teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No suggestion of an offer of this magnitude though. Think from the article reference to cheap at last in part because we wanted the player loaned back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 A million pounds is loose change for quite a few English Championship Clubs as well as all Premier Clubs. Probably a couple of League One Clubs in England wouldn't miss a million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Unfortunately the going rate for a Scottish Championship player is no where near £1m . The sooner some get their heads round this , the better . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Getting £300k and a loan back till the end of the season is probably about the best we could have hoped for (especially since £200k bids were coming in when he had a full year on his contract). He could have sat tight and then walked for £0 at then end of the season. He's probably done the best for himself whilst at the same time trying to leave the club something. All in all it's a good compromise. Then again - you know what they say about a good compromise... :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The rate is whatever 3 or 4 very rich Clubs determine by their enthusiasm for bidding. Morgan signing a decent length of Contract for us would have helped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan signing a decent length of Contract for us would have helped. Nothing in football is guaranteed and there's nothing to suggest that injury or loss of form could put paid to a big move for a player. Look at Norrie McWhirter and Chris Kerr for examples of this. Guys who would have made a very decent living for themselves but for career derailing injuries. We did right by Lewis by giving him a platform to impress following his Rangers release. He's grabbed the opportunity with both hands and regardless of how much game time he gets at Celtic - FWIW I think he'll be OK in the end, I'd already have him on my team sheet ahead of Forrest - he'll ensure a very good living from football with this move when he could have just as easily been on the scrapheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Celtic are just doing what they (and the other mob) always used to do, buying up players who may possibly hurt you in a game - if they do you a turn, great; if they waste in the reserves or go down south, great, they are at least not scoring against you. Nothing changes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linwood buddie Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 If the deals is as rumoured indeed done then we have just made £300,000 and still have the use of a player who would have left at the end of the season for hee haw , IMO this is a great deal for the club and the boy has more than repaid us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
