Gaz_Oafc Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I saw Andy Morell in Middleton back in January with a guy in a suit (agent?) so there may be somethin in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 A 34-year-old striker who managed 5 goals this season? Not convinced he's what we need at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunteruk Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 A 34-year-old striker who managed 5 goals this season? Not convinced he's what we need at all. wasnt we supposed to be after him last season,but he hit form for blackpool and helped get them promnoted..... will have to wait and see,if it was anyone from the lashers i would hope it be parker,lot younger with more energy.

Agree, would much prefer Parker but he always seems to have the "big time Charlie" attitude about him and as such I think he would demand high wages suggesting Leicester or Leeds/Doncaster would be the place if he is available. Morrell hasn't been prolific this season to say the least but in our division he did ok and could probably do a decent job as back up to the main front two which I assume would be Davies and Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Not very convinced he's what we need. I'd rather have Burgess or Parker. Besides, I always thought Andy Morrell looked like Gary Megson: Gary Megson: _____________ Andy Morrell: He's from Doncaster so this one I wouldn't mind them hijacking from us.

Fyldelatic Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not very convinced he's what we need. I'd rather have Burgess or Parker. Parker is currently injured, and is on the way out. But he wants big money by all accounts. Morrell played the final few minutes today, useful addition but not a 90-minute player. Both he and Burgess have further 12-month option.

Hometownclub Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I didn't think Burgess looked anything special in his loan spell at Latics a few of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyldelatic Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I didn't think Burgess looked anything special in his loan spell at Latics a few of years ago. Useful in set pieces, strong header of the ball. A poacher like Beckett, but can't pass, has no pace. Yesterday did nothing other than score in opening minutes, converting a loose ball in the box.

Mouldy_old_maki Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 From what i am hearing from a Blackpool fan, Morrell has great attitude and obviously as most people know parker is a n0b! Morrell would be perfect as the 4th striker and will "do what shez tells him" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Blue Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Morrell is good pro who has scored a few at our level, definatley worth a 12 month deal. I could see him partnering hughes with davies and taylor on either wing. It could be our ticket out of this crap division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcmetty Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I would love Morrell - a real experienced pro, perfect to have on the bench when things are going wrong, to bring on and setup Hughes for a goal. Big, strong and has a good footballing brain (like Hughes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedOwl Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 not for me thankyou. id like more pace up front. burgess was terrable when he was here but then went and got hull promoted with his goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 not for me thankyou. id like more pace up front. burgess was terrable when he was here but then went and got hull promoted with his goals. We've got pace in Davies and Allesandra. I wouldn't mind him coming in, he scores goals at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We don't need the team going from one extreme to the other, seems like we'll either be a team full of kids or the new Dads army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, don't we already have enough strikers? Even if we haven't, a 34-year old who has proven he can't cut it in the CCC is a no-no from moi.

Why not judge a player on his individual merits and our intended role for him in our team rather than his age and where he is or isnt wanted?

saddylatic Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 he would only be here as backup which we do need, lewis is good for the future but we cant rely on him and then smalley depending on if he plays rw to score if we get hughes or davies crocked for long spells, wolfy aint good enough so we'l be left with 3 st's next year in effect. Yes he's 34 and geting on but he scored a load in the playoff season and did well vs us - hed be good backup to have and itd only be on a years deal, i suspect if we went up he wouldnt be kept on, same with liddell.

UpTheLatics Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Why not judge a player on his individual merits and our intended role for him in our team rather than his age and where he is or isnt wanted? Yes, perhaps. However, at the age of 34 I personally don't think he'd cope well. Plus, how long do we tie him down for? 1 year? He wouldn't join. I wouldn't hand him 2 because I want us promoted next year, and his 5 goals in the Championship isn't enough tbh. He'd also be 35 then, too. I think with 4/5 strikers already on our books, 4 of them under 23, adding a 6th would surely have too much competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 As I said the the other thread, we need another striker and not just a back up striker, someone to really challenge H****s and Davies place in the first team, a first team striker was targeted in January and I don't see why it would be any different now.

I certainly agree with you Coco. No good getting someone to be second fiddle, and I think that's what Shez will be saying to players he's targetting. They should be coming in expecting to be selected and fighting for their place. I'd much rather see Grant Holt here to give us the variety we desperately need. Morell is a little close to Hughes in style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were complaining about keeping Liddle and now they want this guy. Its a step backwards IMO. Edited May 6, 2008 by MaskedOwl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
