 Yeah, so my question is we've had a couple of friendlies and some of the players that have Been with us quite a while i.e. Morales and co seem to be performing above what they have done for quite a few years with us and Quite a few people are getting quite excited thinking that oh, you know, it's like a new sign in we're gonna need to give them a chance What do you guys think? Are you in agreement with me these these guys that have had plenty of Years with us and never seem to deliver Should we just forget about the way it's been in the last couple of games and just get rid Thank you. So yeah, Simon's made a good point and he's not the first to say this And I think we get sucked up into this every summer Come back from preseason someone you don't like or someone you thought was out the door suddenly starts doing Okay in preseason and then people start thinking oh Could he could he do it this year? Rudge yeah, I think there are good that there are certain type of players who are good in preseason this specialized in it Kevin Morales is probably the captain of the all-time best preseason 11, isn't he? How many did he score against the Austrian five five five in like 20 minutes? It's not preseason about Morales though, is it well when he feels the need to create a good impression Yeah, he runs about a bit. He tracks back. He tackles he gets on the ball and so on as soon as he feels comfortable He reversed to type so for me, sorry, I've cut you up there, but for me move him on quickly It wouldn't be the first time you cut me off John, but it's absolutely fine Kevin Morales is is a no from me. Yeah, he'd been a no from me two years ago Yeah, and yeah, he scored a few goals and he ran around and he looked enthused For me he's kind of similar to Bezich. You know how it's gonna work out You put him in the first 11. He might get injured and then he'll be out for six months I mean especially since you know, he spent the second half of last season of MPR costs and he basically He basically said his goodbyes at me You know, we all thought well, that's it. That's the end of this guy Then they make a decision when we don't want to buy him because he didn't do anything for them So suppose at this time here that what it is is a shop window for him, isn't it regardless of what he plays forever? Absolutely, he's got to be seen to be to be making a little bit of a buzz So teams that make other teams might go We were looking for a left winger. He's doing all right in preseason. Let's get in there That's why some of those players will have got game time as well so they can be seen Yeah, and let's hope that is the outcome because I think you know, you said you've said before As a group of fans we like to moan Think there's a case that we don't moan enough because we tolerate people like Morales He should have been out the door Yeah, there should be no room for sentiment He's underperformed enough time and for me just personally for me Morgan Schneider should be out the door Yeah, because how we performed and what he did last season. I don't want him anywhere near my football Yeah Now maybe he has turned a corner and maybe he is actually a player That we need in the formation and okay Maybe he just about survives the last chance to loon, but we need to be more ruthless if we want to progress And we want to compete there ain't no room for Kevin Morales From a business point of view as well I mean it's like that's got to be the case hasn't it surely no you can't be clean You know that last season we spoke about Having too many players almost still are 38 or whatever it was. Yeah, you've got to make those decisions every surely from business Maybe you've got to cut the losses out and just get rid of of those plays Yeah from a top-down perspective, you know, you know the things we're hearing out in the sherry and certainly our brands and The like around promoting youth they're about getting down the average age of the squad and Reducing the wage bill he takes two boxes there more Alice doesn't get rid of him brings down the wage bill reduces the average age So and what we're not paying 15 million pounds for a winger to keep more Alice, aren't we? No Was it was it marino? I don't know who first came out with this notion that what you need in a squad You know and this football did exist before the Premier League But the Premier League came along and he needed squads and blah blah blah But I think it was marino who said what you need is two players for every position, right? So if you do the math 22 We've got 30 odd And and I think we've got more than enough people who could play wherever Kevin Morales thinks he plays So yeah, we need to be ruthless and we need two players for every position and There's there's more than enough to cover for him. There's always been that problem I think it ever just killing and on to people giving people second chances you would never think about giving before we always seem to be very forgiving of Of see it and play it. That's my point and you said you've said before that, you know We we like to moan a lot and the flip side of that is that we are, you know, James McCarthy There's another one. How many chances do we give Jimmy McCarthy? How many chances do we give passage? So you wouldn't keep passage. No No strangely enough. I mean, I've got the shirt, but I wouldn't you know John you keep passage Yeah, I think it'd be okay in a squad and he's versatile as well And probably because I very much doubt he's on huge wages And I suppose the the political response to your question is to say there's probably play as you get rid of before you got rid of him Yeah, I didn't pay much for him. Did we because he'll be fully depreciated or pretty much as so it'd be four years Yeah, there'd be no drag on that perspective and through his injuries and all that sort of stuff I doubt he's got a huge wage bill attached to him and he would bring particularly in that midfield and you know And you can't despite his size play centre back, can't he? He wouldn't be the first on my list to get rid of but certainly Mr. Morales would be they can't have long left on a contact Bessons though. Yeah, so I mean so what about from that point of view? I mean if you if we if we have got these players and they're coming into like this two years to go Yeah, should we you know if there's any if there's any you and an on about them? Shouldn't we just be looking to sell them or give them new contracts rather than wait? No, no, but what I mean is though you're every single player if you come into it to two years to go that Haven't we learned anything from the the Ross Barkley situation that we don't let players go into the last year?
