Matthew Le God Posted 8 August, 2014 Author Share Posted 8 August, 2014 3pm I assume? The countdown suggests 3pm, but one of the media staff has said... Tom Coull @TomC_SFCMedia 3m Watch Ronald Koeman's press conference live on YouTube from **APPROXIMATELY** 3.15pm It normally starts later than planned.

mcbendy Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Koeman looked bordering on furious in that presser. Did you see his body language? Hard to know if it's the lack of signings, Morgan's tantrum or something else. Worried though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarrettIvo Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Koeman was pretty adamant about him going nowhere and being wanted. It's one thing for the Chairman to say it and make his position tricky, but there's no way the manager is going to stick his neck out on that point I reckon. Morgan stays until January. Thought Jose was very diplomatic about it as well. Didn't throw MS under the bus and said the team would do all it can to keep him welcome.

NewYorkSaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 I'd argue it's in the club's interest to keep him for now, even if he never plays a match. Absolute statements have been made. For Kruger and the club's credibility they have to show that no means no. If they do, my guess is that MS won't play first few games, but will eventually come round. It's not in his professional interest to sulk all year either. I thought Jose was impressive in what he said about Morgan. Don't give up yet. If they do capitulate, it really does put a big black mark on Kruger's credibility, even if it seems to make short term sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More about the club showing some balls which they have, but ultimately if we get a big offer he will go because he wants to, and thats what happens. By all accounts, Spurs have only offered £10m for him so far, so as long as that situation keeps up, he's going nowhere. If (and it's a big if, considering this is Daniel "last day of the window" Levy we're dealing with) Spurs double the offer (at least) then we may have to reconsider, but we're not at that stage yet.

Saint Charlie Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Deadline day, once we've got all our ins we will confirm we've sold him imo. Koeman's comments live seemed to suggest he was pretty angry with Morgan. What does it say if for example JWP has worked really hard all pre season then gets replaced next Saturday by someone who has been showing an awful attitude and doesn't want to play for the club? Quite clearly Schneiderlin won't play at Anfield, and I would say its far, far more likey that not that he won't play for us again at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Morgan not playing Saturday. Mentally and physically not right. He will never play for Saints again, it's been painfully obvious for a couple of weeks. If Koeman has been unable to turn his mind, what hope is there? Krueger?! Can't put a glass half full on Scheiderlin I'm afraid, he's burnt his bridges. Jay Rod next player to 'strike' ?? Bit tricky when you're broken, but until he renews his contract it would seem he's the next to join the exodus. Too little steel too late. Oh well, at least we have another Centre Back!! yipppeeeee!

CB Saint Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Well the longer is stays mentally and physically unfit, the less chance he has of being selected for France.

More about the club showing some balls which they have, but ultimately if we get a big offer he will go because he wants to, and thats what happens. Don't think it is as simple as that. Ralph's credibility rests on keeping him, and he has been pretty categorical on the issue. Might see a similar situation with Modric at Spurs. He starts the season a bit miffed, maybe missing the first game or two with 'his head not being in the right place', but once the transfer window closes he knuckles down, with a broad agreement that should we get once more decent season out of him, he is free to go.

monosaint Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 MS is in danger of ending up in the reserves. If Lovren is worth £20 million then so is Morgan. Spurs won't pay that so they can go away. All clubs will have several options so Spurs will end up looking elsewhere. I hope he's smart enough to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Crab Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Seriously, how can footballers actually go on strike? There are no grounds for industrial action. He is under contract and hasn't been mistreated. There are no changes to the terms of his employment, surely? It's about time a club took a player to court for breaking the terms of their contract.

Not rightly so, in your own post you state if the club received suitable compensation, we obviously haven't received that yet so hence Morgan is going no where, shall we just let him go for pittence because he started whinging and being a d1ck? No, we wait until we receive what the club believes to be his worth like all of the players that have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
