Let's face it - the decision to let MM go on a free was one of the worst the club has made in years. Even now I scratch my head at it.
Roland - you messed up big time here.
I Disagree actually. Whilst he would have been a useful squad member he was pants as a captain and an awful motivator.
Also not much of a ball player - which we currently have in our (admittedly too few) defenders.
Lovely bloke but wasn't the Beckenbauer people seem to think he was
Definitely not Beckenbaur but better than BeckenSarr and a far better captain than Solly.
Tough opponent for Sarr on his debut and he will have learned a lot from it. But would you have Lumbering Morro over Diarra?
Sarr will have far tougher opponents and Morrison will play more games than Diarra. I would have both over Sarr, it's a squad we need and Morrison is a decent squad player.

Lumbering? Come off it. He was brilliant for us. You're right, he might not be Beckenbauer but I don't think there's any value in remembering him as Gary Doherty either
Call me old fashioned but I like my Defenders to be able to Defend first and foremost. Morro could defend. I'd have him ahead of Sarr and Diarra clearly isn't a 46 game player anymore.

Classic.....
The punctuation is misleading but I believe he is saying that he'd have Morrison ahead of Sarr while as Diarra isn't likely to play 46 games a season any more MM would've been good cover.
Not that Morrison would get in the side ahead of a fit Diarra.

Haha that is spot on, hopefully the Mrs isn't reading this. She's forever having a go about my spelling, punctuation, pre mat......
Distance makes the best grow fonder as they say. I thought when he left Bikey and Ben Haim were better, and when they left Diarra and Bauer have ensued they weren't missed. Put it this way
Morrison and Dervite
Ben Haim and Bikey
Bauer and Diarra
Out of the 3 pairs, I'd take the last one.
If I had to choose a squad with 4 defenders in it, he'd be 4th choice infront of Bikey and Dervite. I'd actually put Bikey infront of him if it's the early season Bikey
Gone to Cambridge from Pompey on a free. Think he could have done a job with us for a year or 2 in L1. Wiki says he has made 704 appearances in his career so far. Outstanding. Take a bow Mikey!

What are you basing that on? If he was any use these days, Pompey wouldn’t be getting rid of him.

Likewise, I could ask you what are you basing your comment on? Morrison did a good job for us and other decent clubs since then so, clearly, he’s good enough, eh!? I thought he looked solid against us and as I said, my opinion is that he would be an asset in our final push. Okay mate?!
I think even Lavelle would beat him over 100 metres so it’s a definite no for Morrison.
Maybe but Lavelle is 4th pick for us whereas Morrison has been a regular starter for Pompey who have been above us most of this season so not sure that’s the most important criteria for an effective CB

Calm down love. I am basing it on a bang average team getting rid of him and him being part of a defence that has conceded 6 against us this season. As for the bolded part, utter nonsense otherwise Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t be playing in Saudi Arabia.
I liked him as he wore his heart on his sleeve and would always give 100% but I don’t think he was ever really that good technically and definitely wouldn’t have him now unless bought to be 4th choice

Particularly remember Holden saying you could get at their centre back when we played them at Fratton Park.
As much as I liked him for us, I think he's a bit past it these days.
