NEW SIGNING | ALBIE MORGAN INTERVIEW.

Interesting that he says it's been going on for some weeks, which presumably means pre-Critchley, post Mansford and Pre Downes.

So who had the input I wonder?

It says to me NC may have been in the pipeline longer than most thought and possibly has had some input.
It's very watertight our club and I don't think there is anyone ITK.

That was my thinking too. possible we went in for him in January, but they wouldn't release him.

Odd he's making the geographical move here. Hopefully no Alex Dyerisms about it.
 
You sign 4 players with a profile of Alfie Morgan and you hope one comes off as a great signing, scores a few goals certain starter and then all of a sudden at 23 with a 4 year contract he's worth 2-3 million...

Problems come if you sign 4 of these type of players and none of them come off.

Decent amount of appearances so at least not a crock... Yet

The internet told universally us that Stephen Crainey was a total disaster. The internet is shit. It even allows you a voice. Imagine people quoting your opinions.

More from the internet...

"He could be the next modric or more likely Barry bannan. Good luck Albie. Best to get away from this toxic club and it's fans.

"Good pitch and a big pitch really suits him as he’s got the passing range and the energy to get around it.

"Last season I think he got 10 assists (the most) this season he got 7 assists, (2nd) now unless we are going to sign KDB, the person filling his boots will have to easily get more assists, otherwise what was the point of letting him go? It will be interesting to see who we sign as his replacement, and whether they do get more assists, or whether he is even replaced, a La Washington, otherwise in 6 - 12 months time people will be slagging off the club, and questioning why we let him go. All the best for the future Albie, you always put in a shift for the club, you’re still young and can only improve with time.

"I wish him well and excited that we are going to improve on Albie because all the Matt Smith's, Kilkenny, McGrandles, Gilbey, etc, etc haven't been. So I look forward to a top 6 midfielder we are going to bring in. We live in hope but I won't hold my breath.

"Sorry to see him go myself. I'm not convinced we'll bring in anyone better and I can see Albie being a curse when he plays against us in the

"Agreed.....Think he will thrive in a better team than us....two good feet and if he has a quick forward to hit can see him doing well future.

"I think this could be the making of Albie. He’s been at The Valley since he was nine I think and it must have all become very comfortable and familiar for him. I’m sure he’s putting in maximum effort but mentally perhaps it’s just a bit cosy. A new challenge with a point to prove could be just what he needs for him to kick on and bring out the obviously good player in there.

"An error to let him leave. Should have built the team around him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a Championship team. With the right manager he will have a very successful career.

How many Charlton fans have you spoken to? 😆

There are plenty on their message boards saying they are surprised and wish we'd taken Kirk as part of the deal too. Sounds like a squad player and they think we would be signing better. Only saying what they are saying. Let's see if a move is good for him and us.
 
Welcome to Albie Morgan. Good to get the first one in. Looks like he fits best into a 4-3-3 formation mainly on the right side and primarily a defensive CM.

Started more for Charlton towards the end of the season but regular either starting or on the bench. I see him as a good squad addition in an area we need strengthening.
 
I’ve never heard of him and if you dismiss a handful of comments from charlton fans as he wouldn’t have had 150 league 1 n champ games if he wasn’t good enough. Plus remember Stephen crainey was slaughtered by rangers fans and came here I think free and was brilliant for us. You simply have to see the guy play a few games before judging surely. Fingers crossed he could be a great signing.

Well you’ve picked out a positive comment amongst the general consensus that he won’t be missed by their fans so that certainly gives me hope. Hopefully the next Kenny Dougall.

Loads of positive comments on their forums. A clear sense that he needs a fresh start and will do well in a side that is set up right. It's interesting to me that the people on here who are always negative choose to pick out negative comments on the internet and choose to ignore the positive stuff. A clear indication that they are stuck in one miserable line of thought, looking for things to confirm their misery. I'm struggling to remember anything positive ever coming from you. You are either not a blackpool fan or you should pack it in.

Having watched him 25+ times over the last two seasons - I can't imagine these are the opinions of the majority of Charlton fans. Hopefully nothing more than a squad player for us.

mmmm... you remember Crainey being slaughtered by Rangers fans? Is that because he was a Celtic player? I think you mean Leeds fans.
