Think it's a shame, and a waste. Morrison's a good player.4

Contracted so hopefully get a few hundred grand for him at least.0
-
The only problem I have with this is that I would like to properly thank him for the role he has played at the club over the last 3 years. I don't necessarily think it is a mistake - things change and teams and players move on - but I think he has been a rock for us and wish him nothing but well, and if he can go on to be a fan's favourite somewhere else that's great.14

Yep, think the less sentimental amongst us would probably say (with justification) that we've got better alternatives now so why keep him. For me I just find it is saddening how quickly and brutally that promotion winning squad has been dismantled.Wheresmeticket? said:The only problem I have with this is that I would like to properly thank him for the role he has played at the club over the last 3 years.

Horses for courses though I guess.0 -
What i don't understand is why we got him to sign a new contract and then barely a few months later tell him he is not really in our plans.ricky_otto said:Good luck to him. If he doesn't fit in BP's plans and can get first team football elsewhere and a permanent move in the process then fair play.
Was the contract signed before Bob arrived?3 -
I suppose it was because Morro was a regular for us the previous seasons and they didn't know how the CB's we brought in would perform. Ben Haim and Bikey have surprised us all with their performances.Kap10 said:

There are other staff in the picture too, not just DM.
There are also (I believe) a couple of fans too.
They all count, but the point I was making when I edited the picture was the large change in playing staff.2 - Sponsored links:

BP wants ball players throughout the team. Unfortunately, Morrison has an awful first touch and pass. Quality old school defender though, sounds like he's doing well at Brum.1

When you have a leaky defence, I'm not surprised a brick wall like Morrison has been a revelation.
Morrison has been absolutely superb and was my POTY last year. Probably in better hands under Rowett than he would be here. Bit of a shame given that Charlton had him driving season tickets about during his summer off!2 -
seen Morrison play once since his move .. he had a terrific game .. Rowett obviously likes him, if/when he goes he will go with my thanks and best wishes for his future career .. BUT .. not against us.
Another old boy who's doing well under yet another old boy is Hudson at the Terriers .. he's transformed the team, Powell must love him0 -
Shame for Morro. I think RD has missed a trick with his young player ethos. Morro is hardly a dinosaur is he?0

Worries me slightly in that bikey and Ben haim are getting on a bit! Also TBH is only on a one year contract I believe so means we have to be certain to bring in another top class cb in the summer...2

That Gomez geezer supposed to be alright at c/b from what I've heard.0

I guess - but they were a league 1 winning team. I think there are certain players - Morrison among them - that deserve an acknowledgement, I'm just not sure what that would be. Players like Poyet we were sorry to see go, but frankly they showed up, played some good games and were gone. With Morrison I feel he played a real part in our success to date. I'd got used to having him around and certainly the few times he didn't play before this season felt we were in trouble. Also, like Kermy, I liked the way his reputation took an upturn after a few games with us after being maligned at other clubs.MrLargo said:

Maybe we could send him a card?
(On the other hand maybe the £750,000 or thereabouts will be enough?)

Are Brum likely to have a transfer embargo in Jan?
And if so does him being on loan still allow him to be transferred for a fee?0 -
Getting on a bit though.cblock said:That Gomez geezer supposed to be alright at c/b from what I've heard.

If he has a longish amount of time on his deal and they really want him does it mean we can command a decent fee ? Just because he's at Birmingham doesn't mean that they automatically get him - I'm sure a lot of the teams in the division would be interested0

I was surprised when I first saw this as well, it feels like he has been around for agesHandG said:

I guess it has been a couple of years now. Think back to Lennie's promotion team.....Thompson, Pender, Shipley, Pearson, Aizlewood, Johns, Curbishley and Flannagan got chopped fairly quickly. Probably only Humphrey, Lee and Gritt lasted well into our 1st Division days. Anyway, good luck to Michael Morrison wherever he ends up....he never let his head drop when the going got tough.MrLargo said:

No where near the standards of our two starting CB's, thank's for the memories Morro. But in order to push on we needed better players and we got them.3

Football is a brutal business. yesterdays heroes and todays discards - often sad but true.0
