Shayden Morris

[Helmet]

Nothing to give us hope really that this guy will make it.

As FnD says a loan back to lower league in England and fingers crossed he can impress down there might be the best we can hope for.

I will add. If we loan him out to some English side then it could be beneficial & not necessarily out of pocket as we could be lucky that a club down there would be willing to cover our fee if he had a decent loan

Agreed. Let's attempt to recoup some cash, if you are correct and we "cannot polish a turd".

[Ten Caat]

Not a cat's chance in hell we are recouping our fee 

Best hope is he does well at a loan club, probably EFL2/National League level and if we are lucky we get around £50k for him. Ultimately just getting his wage off the books would probably be a good bit of business though

Stranger things have happened. We got fees for Christine Clark & Foster.

Morris is very ‘athletic’ compared 

[Dave Bus]

We got 100k for stockley who was 4th choice striker at the time

And who was sold for £750k less than 18 months later having banged in over 40 goals.

Played plenty for Preston in the Championship although goals total dropped off but now with Charlton and has a decent record there too.

Morris will be doing well if he manages a career anything like Stockley. I wish him no ill will but just can't see it happening.

The comedy defending aside, what really annoyed me last night was Morris attempting a cross late in the game with no Aberdeen player near the penalty box. Any player with half a brain would have held the ball in the corner and won the team a throw in/corner. That would have used up a couple of minutes and possibly won us the game. That we paid a fee for a player who can’t do that is criminal. 

[aberdeen1970]

Shayden Morris wishes he had half a brain. 

But a manager who thinks bringing on Morris to play on the same side as Richardson with 20 minutes to go when defending a lead needs to have his brain cells checked as well.

I actually shouted at the tv when he did that. Absolutely no game awareness.

He is hopeless. Can't believe we paid a fee for him and he's getting game time ahead of Vinny and Duncan.

I hope he breaks his leg in training. 

Why?

[Donstar83]

Surely this imposter is going out on loan.  Offered absolutely NOTHING since we signed him.

[Guest milne_afc]

Callum the coke fiend according to someone on another thread 

[old sheep]

We paid a fee for him, Scott Brown is laughing at us, he has a contract until Summer 2026, he is utter shite and is nowhere to be seen. Not one of our better signings.

[ABERDEENROWIE1903]

I doubt we could even loan him out who would want him

Wage theif

That’s a very modern ‘well done for competing, it’s the taking part’ attitude.

If a player is shite he’s shite. Be as sympathetic as you like but in this instance it should be spelled simplypathetic 

 

There is no polishing this turd. Sooner we accept he is one of the failed signings from last window the better. They cannot all be good

I agree with this. 

A player needs more than a bit of skill to reach his potential, he needs to have a 'fuck you' attitude in his personality. 

There's always going to be setbacks and criticisms, and the kind of people who are too mentally fragile to handle criticism are the kind of people who lose 6-0 to Hibs and go out of cup competitions to pub sides. 

If you can't handle the pressure, there are clubs available to you in the lower leagues where there's no pressure, but unfortunately you're no use to a club like Aberdeen. 

 

[Geoff_Tipps]

Allegedly he passed away last week. RIP Shayden.

[Zeus]

Thanks for the update.

Straight to an opposition player, no fucking doubt. 

[Russell]

Needs to be sent out on loan to Hibs on a deal where they don't read the fine print and end up having to sign the fucker permanently

Kerching, we'll have a death in service policy for the poor lad.

That is probably the only way we'll get back money on him.

Hardly one to be lecturing about mental fragility are you

Why is he a wage thief?

It’s not his fault we offered him a contract.

You should be blaming Mowbray & Goodwin. 

[TheRedPrawcess]

I'm expecting him to go on loan to a Championship side this month

[aberdeen1970]

You've got to be pretty shite not to make the current 20 player match squad at Aberdeen 

[englishred]

As much as i hate footballers who sit and do fuck all, from their point of view and i suppose i have to agree they have been offered decent money and a long contract so why not just sit tight and pick up a wage. Lets face it most of us would do the same , its the morons at the club who have offered him a decent wage and crazy length of deal that should be asked questions of 

[JojoJuan]

I don't know. I can see why some players would do that, but others are desperate to play regardless and will drop divisions to do so later in their career. Guess it depends on the individual. Some openly seen it as any other job, others have a genuine love of playing. 

I do fear we have too many of the former 

[muttonhumper]

An absolute joke of a signing.

Fucking crazy shit.

Whoever sanctioned this one should be forced to suck Shayden's shaft to the point of ejaculation.

[Zeus]

Will come good
