Filipe Morais

Can put a decent delivery into the box which is more than most of our players so I’d take him just for that. Although that assumes we have someone in box capable of getting in the end of it.

 

Beggars can't be choosers. After losing Ismail for months we've literally have nothing to offer in the wide department, Pritchard isn't a wide player and DMH is useless.

 

Morais on one leg would be infinitely more effective than DMH.

 

I'm not one for going back for ex players but in my opinion giving Morais a short term deal would have been a no brainer. Would have given the squad a boost for Saturdays game, and by christ they need it.

 

Past his best? No doubt he is.
Considerably better than any of our fit wingers right now? By an absolute country mile.
Comparing him and DMH isn’t even a conversation.

 

And is hands down better than anything we have at the minute. I would have signed him, free agent, until the end of season.

But McCall knows what he's doing.

 

"Past his best" maybe but at our current wingers prime he still wouldn't be fit to lace Morais boots even now.

I agree we need better than we have so I absolutely agree with your post but if I had the chance of a swap, I'd definitely take a "past his best" Morais rather than a Mottley-Henry or a forever absent Ismael.

 

We didn't want him. Good luck to the lad if he pulled our pants down.

With the blokes running our club I'm just amazed it hasn't happened more often than it has.

 

On one leg blindfolded!

 

I can't understand why Harrogate have not been in touch with him.They have had a lot of injuries,and have found scoring goals as difficult as City have.

 

How many games did he play for us?

 

Around 50 or so. Google is good usually

 

I don't believe Morais would be part of the solution we urgently require, his days with us are recent history.
PP found smashing little gems like him when we needed them
Yes, our management team is restricted in many aspects of what they can and can't do.
However, the hidden gems out there are what we desperately need in January, and that's where they've to get it right.
I can arbitrate for Stu on a few things, particularly having poor defenders under contract eating into our modest budget.
But, he has to show his worth very soon and recruit players on little resource that will make us hard to beat.
The way this season is panning out, he's one chance to get it right.

 

If we wanted him we'd have signed him. McCall obviously didn't want him so what can you do apart from wait and see how he signs in the Jan window.

 

Signed for Grimsby. 18 month deal.

 

As much as he could have helped us short term no way would I have given him 18 months

 

With you until that last sentence. Macca does not know what he is doing. That's why we are 2nd bottom in a poor league.

 

Exactly over how long? Think you will find he was a little injury prone. We have enough players of that ilk at the moment -he is now older not been playing of late and it is a risk signing him. We would be back to square one with DMH his replacement if was to become injured. When he played I was fan but did not feature enough.

 

Was he ever that injury prone? He played nearly every game the season after for Bolton.
He had injuries but which player doesn’t. He just didn’t always get in the starting xi
