The man still has another 3 or 4 year contract and he's declining rapidly, we've got to pray for a lengthy injury and Shakey will not drop him. if he doesn't go 3 at the back then either Huth or Maguire isn't playing. Expires in 2019 to be fair so not too long really. He can be reserve this season but I don't want him to be starting too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a new one after we won the league but didn't get a real lengthy one like most. It was just a 1 year extension I believe to the deal he signed in 2014 that was due to expire in 2018.

mozartfox Posted 20 August 2017 Share Posted 20 August 2017 If either of Huth or Morgan keep Harry out of the team, then Shakey needs committing to a mental heath hospital. If he changes to 3 at the back just to accommodate both Huth and Morgan - ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 20 August 2017 Share Posted 20 August 2017 Isn't Morgan playing with a back injury? Doesn't that say something about him (and also how much Shakey rates either Benny or Armarty there). If Hutth is close to full fitness those three are fine until Jan and the reassess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chico1958 Posted 20 August 2017 Share Posted 20 August 2017 Anyway enough on how bad our Champion winning captain is Any news on a player ( Gibson ) who could replace the man who has served us well for 5 years He's obviously struggling with his back but we won't get off it..........

NewquayFox Posted 20 August 2017 Share Posted 20 August 2017 Don't think it's 'hate' for Morgan, it's clear he's struggling with a bad back and not the Captain fantastic he was 2 seasons ago, one of our best ever signings but all good things must come to an end. I hope we sign a young centre half and Gibson fits the bill, maybe an England defensive pair in the making with Harry.... Up the City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyPalace.com Posted 20 August 2017 Share Posted 20 August 2017 If we offer £30 million he is ours, We have made money on Lawrence, Zieler etc so the actually price has reduced anyway. Pay the money get him in then we are sorted at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may still think him tainted by coming from florist. He has been a good player for us and a legend as captain of the champions. He clearly has a back problem,which he is yet to fully overcome or is likely to recur. As both Wes and Huth are in their 30s injuries may take longer to resolve. Time to look to the future.

Wes will always be enshrined in our folklore - it's him lifting the bloody trophy!! Professional football at the highest level has no room for romanticism any more. If he isn't good enough then he has to drop down. If he can prove himself then he is recalled. It should be a meritocracy though if you really have ability if often isn't.

It's not that people think that he's on the decline that bothers me. I've just seen him described in some very derogatory terms and that is just completely unacceptable. I personally think that Wes still has a lot to offer, but I think to get the best out of him we shouldn't play him play every single game. See how Everton use Jagielka now. He looks relatively solid when he plays, but is more of a bit part player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes will probably be our only captain to ever lift the epl trophy, and for that reason alone he'll always be a legend at Leicester, not forgetting he also had a great season along side Huth. I would never be derogatory towards him and no real leicester fan should be either, but we also need to be realistic, and he's struggled big time in the first two games and we need to replace him as a first choice cb. Imo Ben Gibson would be a brilliant long term solution and would form a fantastic partnership with Harry Maguire. I can see these two also being an important part of the England set up for many years as well. Imo they are already better cbs than John Stones and Gary Cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel that most people are slagging Morgan, just recognizing that he appears to be in decline! Whether its his age or the back trouble or a combination of both that is the cause of the decline doesn't matter. We always knew that Morgan & Huth were getting older and wouldn't play forever. It's the minority who are making it personal and that minority do not have my respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
