Worth at least £10m - £5m far too low.0

No way does Fox look like a PL defender at the moment, Gomez stood out as a far better player, as did the younger Solly, or Danny Mills.Garrymanilow said:Fox is a weird one because his potential really could be anything. When Powell first started putting him in he looked steady and had broken through at a later age than most really good youth players. At that point I wouldn't have said he looked like a likely Championship first teamer in the future, and certainly not one who would displace Wiggins but he's looked good at the end of last season and in this one and rightly kept Wiggins out. To get to the point where Luzon was happy enough with Fox to sell Rhoys shows how much he's progressed. I don't know why people like to pick on Fox but he's a hell of a lot further on than anyone thought he would be at this stage. He could end up being a Premier League left back or he could drop off completely. There's just no way of telling
He might be a lower PL defender in the future, or more of Grant Basey (before the bad injury)0 -
What's that video at the bottom?0

Someone on here (can't remember who), said he bruised his leg against Rotherham and he's obviously now played 2 more games carrying the injury. I don't know if it's true.Clem_Snide said:Hope he is carrying a knock as in the last few games he has regressed.

I hope the whole team are carrying a knock as they have all regressed.Clem_Snide said:Hope he is carrying a knock as in the last few games he has regressed.
In future can the players not on international duty after say being given 3 or 4 days off, then work hard at set plays at Sparrows lane.
It felt like they had all been on their hols for a fortnight and then returned to work totally unprepared ?

Don't think it's a coincidence that his performance has 'dipped' since Cousins has been moved out to left mid (not a critisism of Cousins, he's just not a left mid!), and his performances significantly improved at the end of last season when he had Bulot in front of him, who did a great job going forward and helping Fox out defensively.1

Agree with this.

Being linked with a move to Man United. Can't say I think there's anything in it.

I just hope their scouts were not at the game today, as he was truly awful.0

Fox must have a great agent.2
-
I do think he'll turn out to be a pretty decent player but not a title winning left back ffs2
-
Ffs do me a favour.0

According to BBC website we are offering him an improved contract to ward off interest from Manchester United to replace Luke Shaw!!7
-
I'm digging my boots out because if he can sign for Man Utd then I still have a chance of making it as a pro at 45 years old and with dodgey knees but a reasonable left peg and half a brain2

So, a top club, with a top scouting network, who know the game and players inside out and recognise potential, have seen something in Fox. Reckon they need to chat to the experts on here first though before they make any rash decisions!!11

Morgan Fox is a good honest full back, who defends his position well, which is what you want in a full back. Too many full backs are judged on what they do going forward. However, he can't defend on his inside. When opponents come inside and attack his right foot, he struggles. Premier League teams will work that out fairly quickly. Zaha did on Wednesday night.
That's not to say he can't improve. He also needs to improve his crossing, which is erratic.6 - Sponsored links:

About 3/4 weeks ago Meire was quoted in SLP talking about offering Fox a new contract. The transfer window won't open until January. Agent trying to get that bit more money for him or genuine interest from Man Utd?bazjonster said:So, a top club, with a top scouting network, who know the game and players inside out and recognise potential, have seen something in Fox.

I think with better coaching he will develop into a top full back. IMHO, he has improved a lot since last season.4
-
He definitely desrves a better set of fans than us that's for sure.16
-
Can't believe he's being linked with Man United ... I thought he was going to Barcelona.
Must have the same agent as Poyet.0 -
-
Well done to his agent for trying to get him a longer more lucrative deal. Manchester United my Arse.3

Hope it goes better than the Penfold deal.0

Assume The Krankies were guest Editors on the Mirror sports pages today.1

Barcelona will be in for Bradley Pritchard next.2
