He only seems to get bit parts and invariably comes on usually when we are struggling or behind in games. He needs 3 or 4 games with the same strike partner, I think there’s a decent player in there but his confidence must be completely shot! Definitely, been played out of position I think too a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemel latic Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 A Tranmere fan on Twitter is linking us with Kieron Morris, currently out of favour at Tranmere. Seems to be speculation based on the Mellon link rather than anything more concrete. He's a wide player, over 250 league games, so could be the sort of player that would improve the team.

He may be a good acquisition. Wrote this about him on another thread looking at Tranmere players: On 11/27/2023 at 10:58 PM, Frankly Mr Shankly said: Keiron Morris (Winger) - 29yo Still at Tranmere. Was quoted as saying "I love it here" in May. Virtual ever present in their side this season and Mellon was quoted back then as "He's the best player in the league". Unlikely, but could be a target next season. Heard from someone with links to the club that Mellon has identified six players he wants out ASAP to create room for incomings. I think most of us can guess the players but there were one or two vague surprises in there which I promised not to disclose on here. Twitter also mentioned we'd enquired about Burton's Cole Stockton; a big hold-up man who played under Mellon.

Funnily enough I did wonder, also wondered if Mike Fondop is the other surprise name on the list. I can understand why MM would want an upgrade on Sheron but don't understand why he would want to offload such a versatile player who's a good clubman too. Surely Freeman is gone at the end of his six months unless he picks up considerably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d understand why, because they’re more dynamic midfielders than him out there. I just think a lot (myself included) have a soft spot because he never lets us down and gets the most out of his ability- which is all you can ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well put, and he's put a real shift in at a time when we've really not been very good and not had many doing the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerlinBlue Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Sheron is a terrible footballer and the fact our midfield has not dominated once in over a year and a half he has been playing for us says it all. He can run about all he wants, it's a low bar when that's the standard we strive for. Even if he is on the list, could be difficult to offload him since we gave him an extra year's contract.

That goes for all of them on any list, it's the reason I think Mellon will need some time as we've made quite a few expensive mistakes. We may be able to farm a few out but it will cost us.

Terrible footballers don’t score 30 yard worldies, or play in promotion sides. Our midfield has just dominated in the last two away games. But don’t let get in the way of your dramatic generalisation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
