That's ridiculous, surely the L1 sides would have seen Morgan's promise last season?
Especially as he played in the two Semi-Final games
They would've seen him get physically overwhelmed and a bit lost during the first 45 mins in the home leg v Donny. He was withdrawn at half time, remember.
But nevertheless it's a strange one. There are plenty of match video's available where you can see his impact on Charlton 1st team matches at the back end of last season.
Surprised Karl Robinson hasn't come in for him. He plays 5 in midfield and already knows Morgan's potential.
Very true but think it says a lot about Morgan and his character that Bowyer was able to put him in for those two games - Play-Offs are very different kettle of fish compared to the League season, if a player can almost handle the Play-Offs then for me they should be able to handle most of what the rest of the season can throw at them
Wonder if the loan deal will happen towards the end of the window when clubs realise they're not going to get a Premier League player in on loan, wont be surprised if some still hope to get Herbie Kane on loan so when that doesnt materialise will move on to lower targets
As the window slams shut at 17:00 today they'd better get a move on!
I guess clubs will be able to piss around with the data sheets again so will have until 7pm
Although I guess they dont need as long to complete a loan deal
Next question: If Albie doesnt move to a L1 | L2 team, do we send him to a National League team as Non-League isnt restricted to the transfer window as we've seen with previous loans to that level... Or is that just taking the piss out of him and might as well just stay and work with our own first team on the training pitch?
Not ideal, but possible if it's a decent NL side
We want to improve his defensive and physical side, but sending him to a hoofball team wouldn't be good for his development
To me JFC needs a loan, more than anyone else. The kids have time on their side.
JFC will hardly play for us before Xmas, could be a massive player after Christmas though.
I wouldn't be against him being loaned out as I don't think he will be much more than a bench player this season, and it would be nice for him to get some competitive game time in if he is needed after January.
Though that does depend on if any of our loans get recalled in January. I would guess that there is a chance that Cullen and Field could. However I do not see JFC getting in front of Kayal and Pratley currently.

We will be in trouble if JFC is in the first team at any point this season. I hate to say to but I don’t think he’s up to standard as seen during spells at MK Dons and Rotherham in the past.
Similar story to Ben Amos IMO. There’s a reason why they dropped down to League One to get regular game time...
If he's in Sheffield right now, maybe the team bus is going to drop him off at Rotherham.
You heard it here first!
He'll be driven around all the L1 teams on the way home this afternoon. After Rotherham, Doncaster. Then down to Burton on the way south, Coventry, MKD...
Morgan was quality against Sunderland and Luton at home. Two really big games and he ran our midfield. I really thought he would be in demand.
Agree with that. Does he learn more on the training ground playing with and against Conor Gallagher, Sam Field,Jos Cullen etc or does he go to League 2 and play every week. Shame in some ways he can't make the 18 now but the Forest Green game may have knocked him further down the pecking order.
I rate him despite the defensive part of his game needs improving.
Probably not the case but genuinely wondered when I watched the forest green game as to whether Morgan was deliberately not trying so as to put potential loan clubs off - jfc just wasn’t up to it although he was trying - can see him being released later in the year line Billy Clarke

I fear he won't be fit enough to play apart when needed now, or at least not do himself justice. I can't see him fancying a week at Bromley in November. I don't think we will see JFC play more than a handful of games in a Charlton shirt again.
It's now gone 5pm ....... and the loan window SLAMS shut.
Did anyone else, apart from Wiredup go out on loan?
It appears not. Certainly not on the BBC list of moves.
A big surprise is Bolton’s lack of activity. Obviously written off the season.
Lack of? They signed 9 players yesterday, still with the ability of signing a few more who are out of contract too.
I am guessing there is an element of sarcasm in the original comment....
Still 9 players, but probably only 3 decent for that level.... the Stoke loanee, Bridcutt, and Murphy (although he is 36).
Its impossible not to feel pleased for them, although doesnt take much for their fans to forget where they came from. Couple were getting shirty with some Doncaster fan on twitter - saying they were miles bigger than them and Doncaster are their new feeder club. All this talk of promotion and being the Man City of league 1..... its still a relegation squad but at least they have a squad. If we had that squad in league 1 we would just want survival and thats without taking the points deduction in to account.

Said on here before for some reason I’ve never liked Bolton so I hope they go down. For me, if there had to be one team being kicked out the league, I would have rather it been Bolton than Bury.

A week before the season JFC and Morgan were in the first team. Now not even near the bench.
Though that does depend on if any of our loans get recalled in January. I would guess that there is a chance that Cullen and Field could. However I do not see JFC getting in front of Kayal and Pratley currently.
With Kayal, Pratley, Field, Cullen, Williams, Oztumer, Gallagher, Lapslie, JFC and Aneke that he's going to feature much.
You heard it here first!

They dont want him getting injured ahead of his £20M move in Jan, so are paying an extra £5M to have him now and the deal will be confirmed Jan 1st

Perhaps he limited his options by wanting to stay down south?
