Incoming? Sam Morsy

[sheffielder]

Just to pedantically point out that Sunderland are SAFC, not SUFC...

I know, me too as for some reason, some Sunderland fans also use #sufc

 

[Treeton Blade]

Shouldn`t we trust in Wilder?

If reports are true & £350,000 is the fee, and we won`t pay it, dosen`t that say he`s not worth it?

Who knows we might match it, but if we don`t I`m happy to go with Wilders decision.

Sure its nothing to do with lack of funds.

£350k for a ball winning midfielder, a 24 year old with potential and just the type of player we are lacking? Naaaaahhhh best not pay that.

Don't forget, this is the same SUFC that thought ~£300,000 was too much to pay for Coady and that James Wallace was a better investment.

Be reyt.

After selling for around £2m for a totally unproven player - I can only assume CW didn't want him

 

[Ricky]

Scunny will be paying a fee we're refusing to match.

Can't be expecting McCabe and the Prince to dip into their pockets for 25k each now can we.

Info from sources in South Yorks that reports of Sheffield United interest in Sam Morsy are wide of mark. Door appears open for Scunthorpe.

 

[AlienBlade]

I honestly dont see the fuss in Morsy?? when he played against us for Chessie, he wasnt the be all and end all people were making him out to be....

Given Fleck is a Tough Tackling "No Nonsense Midfielder" who plays the simply 5 yard pass to a more creative player.... why would having a "Tough Tackling "No Nonsense Midfielder" who plays a simply 5 Yard pass to a creative player... playing along side him help us... wasnt this where Adkins Ineptitude flourished in trying to play two "Defensive Midfielders" and zero creative player to get the ball forward....

and in regards to fees... maybe we should go in with £100m bids for every player... just to make sure it's accepted... oh wait that would be wrong too as no doubt the player we bid for wouldnt be worth that much... Talk about a no win situation!

Looks like nothing to do with our Chairmen, Wilder not interested at all anymore.

 

[Ricky]

Oh...



Slade had him at Orient so.... yep.

 

[Slim Man]

Fleck is creative. He got forward and set a few chances up, a lvoely ball over the top for Clarke too. Morsy would be a great partner for him, miles better than Basham.

Of course we're going to let Morsy go to Scunny. WHY would we want to sign one of the best midfielders in the league for peanuts? Not like us to pass up a chance.

We've learned nothing. We are a fucking joke.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Scunny have had a bid accepted for him. If he goes to them that'll say a lot about his aspirations.

Will it? They missed out on the playoffs on goal difference finishing 6 points above us last season and are having a go by trying to sign players like Morsy and seemingly willing to put up more than us to do so. They got off to a winning start at the weekend while we lost. Who’s to say we are more likely to be promoted than them?

 

[1danewhitehouse]

It could be a miscommunication... SUFC = Scunthorpe United FC & SUFC = Sheffield United FC

Wouldn’t be the first time. I remember us being linked with Van Veen when he was signing for them. Think the same has happened with Southend in the past too.

**Do not continue to read if you have a fear of reading sense**

Perhaps Wilder decided two weeks ago (apparently when we last made contact with Wigan), that there were far better options for the money out there. Now that we have had a cash injection, he feels we can do much better than Morsy.

There aren't many better than Morsy in league one for under a million. And that cash needs to go a long way, not just in midfield but also in defence, flanks and a keeper.

 

[Blade56]

Weasel the self proclaimed ITKer sez 4 in this week, is one of em Morsy?

Maybe Morsy thinks he's signing for us and was told your off to sufc.

This is Steve Agnew all over again

Wer u erd dis, pal?









(Am I doing it right?)

I'll give you a like for the effort.

 

[Hodgyman]

Pardon me for being overly simplistic (cue for a "I fixed it for you"), but how many of us on here were sufficiently skilled to apply for the manager's job? Chris Wilder was chosen to manage this club for the foreseeable future as he showed that he had the qualities and experience to select a team to take us forward. He has made a positive start with getting rid of (very) dead wood, reduced the financial drains on the club from player's wages, adopting a more exciting game plan and some astute signings so far.

We might just trust him and the new scout a little longer before adopting a Monty Python-esque "What's Chris Wilder ever done for us?"

perhaps when he said put a fiver on it he was on about an SUFC not the SUFC

 

[LoughboroBlade]

On the Adams thread, it was suggested that if Adams was really that good then it wouldn't have just been Birmingham after him – better clubs would have been too.

If Morsy goes to Scunthorpe, will it be a sign that he isn't quite as good then too? The way he's been talked about on here, every club in the top half would surely be mad to pass up the chance to bring in Maestro Morsy?

It suggests we don't have 350k to spend

So you're calling Tufty a liar? Oh don't tell me, it's big bad McCabe again.

 

[FriethBlade]

If he goes elsewhere we will be able to judge whether we were outbid by the type of player we bring in instead of Morsy...if history is any guide I know where I'd be placing my money.

Has tufty said we do ?

 

[s4-blade]

Maybe we were never in for him in the first place and it was all started by somebody saying the he was going to SUFC but didn't say which SUFC so we all thought it was our SUFC but it was actually another SUFC so now we, the fans of SUFC but not the SUFC that he's going to, have had a 45 page thread and descended into meltdown over being outbid or not outbid by SUFC and losing out on a player who has instead gone to SUFC but not this SUFC.

 

[sheffielder]

If he goes elsewhere I think it shows that even with extra money he won't pay what he considers to be over the top. There is no history of how this plays out under Tufty, so let's wait.

 

[sheffielder]

Has tufty said we do ?

He said there was money in the pot already and we were in the running for Grant Ward, who went for 700k.
