Morgan

[chris_lcfc_85]

Don't see the issue here.... 1 year deal for Wes as a squad player would be fine plus crucial experience in helping the younger guys.

People saying he's finished don't understand the game. He's clearly not as good as he was but he's had more good games than bad games this season.

The two red cards haven't helped his case and the Everton game was his worst game I can remember in a Leicester shirt.

 

However, 4 league clean sheets this season and he's played in 3 of them.

 

People need to look around and realise there's a lot of poor defenders at this level so im completely fine with him getting another year.

I wouldn't make him a starter but another year suits all parties I'd guess

[The Horse's Mouth]

Think people are too harsh on Morgan tbh, I hope he gets another deal. I imagine he'll be slowly getting phased out, but I think he's had a reasonably good season with the exception of the Everton game. Why get rid of an experienced pro like Morgan, makes no sense

Puel doesn't do the contracts that's Rudkin's job

and the Bournmouth game and most of last season, people are also assuming he'd accept a one year deal and not go elsewhere

You lost me at “people who...don’t understand the game”

The Bournemouth game there were many that were poor. Personally thought maguire and Ricardo were worse that day. Morgan has been good in a few games this season, simple fact. Yes he's had a couple of poor games too, doesn't mean he's finished

Our most successful captain ever should be able to retire here. Morgan Vardy And Schmeichel are invaluable characters leaders that aren’t easy to replace. His playing time will reduce but why not let him phase out into a coaching role.

 

I Would like all three of them involved at our club well after they finish playing. Nothing but respect for them.

Agreed and for all the criticism he gets on here, as a future sub he's still head and shoulders above a number of clubs centre halves in the Premiership.

Can we give him another year and put a clause in saying if he ends his career at forest he has to give his medals back?

[VLC86]

Even if we bring Benkovic back he deserves a new 1 year deal. He’s better than Benny as a player and around the squad and he will be ****ed off soon.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Hes fine against teams without pace but has been seriously at fault / a liability when weve played against sides with a quick forward. He needs moving on, and ive heard the chat about a new contract, however that would really suprise me particularly as there isnt room for him and evans.

[eblair]

wes deserves to retire here, our most successful captain ever and someone who has performed quite well when he's played this season

 

he's had some shocking refereeing decisions against him

[Suzie the Fox]

I'm 50/50 tbh, I wouldn't be against him getting a +1 year contract but only if he was phased out and played a minor role. That might seem harsh to some as he has been amazing for us in recent years, but sadly time is catching up with him (as it does all of us) and i personally would like to see the younger guys being integrated more. 

 

That doesnt seem to happening with Wes still about. Hence the 50/50.

Is time catching up with you Suzie?

Yes  

[AyewJoking]

Probably more to do with "looking after" family.

I mean no offence when i touch on how vichai looked out for his family, rewarding players with contracts that go beyond football reasons. Matty james and ulloa for example.

Wes could not play a minute next season but still be paid more than he'd get anywhere else.

 

 

[Sionnach gorm]

I’m not sure I understand the reason behind Morgan finishing his career here at Leicester.  I didn’t see that sort of loyalty to other players or managers.  So what does Morgan have that the others did not?  Personally I wouldn’t object to Morgan staying on, but at what cost to the program?

[filbertway]

If we want to give him more money than he should be earning, then just give him a massive bonus and clear a pathway in the squad for newer talent.

 

 

It's always a shame when a player begins to tarnish their good work at a club by staying around longer than they should.

 

Hopefully the back end of this season he's phased out in place of the new fellas.

 

[Gerard]

I've been one of Morgan's biggest defenders on here as a lot of fans make him the scapegoat for anything poor defensively. 

 

However he'll be nearer 36 than he will be 35 at the start of next season and with Maguire secure in his place and spending a fortune on Evans, Soyuncu and Benkovic this summer then something is drastically wrong if we feel we need to retain an ageing Morgan. 

[Haywood_6]

Wes deserves a lot of respect for what he's achieved. Defensively he's always been pretty dependable.

 

But he's getting too old and the game is getting too quick. Two red cards, a few ugly tackles. He's cost us points this season.

 

We've spent all this money on Evans, Soyuncu and Benkovic. Let them play ffs!

 

 

[Lovejoy]

Sentiment won't progress the football club. A lower wage and bit part role would be ideal, assuming the player is happy to share his experience more off the field than on it. If that can't be agreed though a parting of the ways would be best.

So Simpson stays for life as well. 

Way to much sentiment being shown here. Also easy to say they should get life time contracts when your not paying the wage. 

 

But hey let's keep all our over the hill players and strangle the life out of the club.
