Isn't Lee just a central midfielder, I don't see him as defensive at all. Not a tackler, not deep lieing, and looks to create and occasionally score (unlike MJ, Tutte etc).

Deanu Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 "Defensive midfielder would not be my description of Morley. He only played deep because of his passing range. His defensive awareness has never been a strength." So he sounds similar to Sheehan. His possession stats set him apart, also looks like he has a hell of a delivery on him too which we are missing dearly. Morley or Hartigan would be a good investment for the club as they've racked up 100 EFL games each so have very good experience despite only being 21. If one of them come off, it's hard to see why we would loan another 20 year old midfielder with 0 EFL experience in Campbell where we would be developing Aberdeen's product which is a mid table SPL team? You'd hope we're looking to add a bit of experience & leadership to the XI to help guide the younger ones which we are seriously lacking at this point in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 24, so maybe late developer, and is only now making a show of himself. Could see a smaller figure with a sizeable sell on clause, but its a lot for a non league player.

No but i don't think they are looking to sell him, they only bought him in the summer and he's a one in one striker so far And apparently they paid Boreham Wood an "amazing" fee https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/boreham-wood-chairman-claims-chesterfield-paid-amazing-fee-for-star-striker-kabongo-tshimanga-3341502%3famp The fee we had set was a top League One or Championship club but that also shows the ambition of the Chesterfield manager and the faith Chesterfield have in his judgement He's probably already on more than most of our squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Morley played against Plymouth in the FA cup it was televised. Didn’t look like a defensive midfielder to me , he scored a pearler & was unlucky with another effort , neat & tidy . Didnt stand out massively but him & Beesley were Rochdale’s best players on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a luxury that would be We probably started the season with 2 for every position: Gilks/Dixon; Jones/Brockbank; John/Gordon; at least 4 CBs; loads of MF's (Lee, Williams, Sheehan, Tutte, Thomasson, Sarcevic, Isgrove, Dapo); Kachunga, Delf, Baka, Doyle for up front. No problem with quantity, its quality we're lacking, mainly someone that can shoot, someone that can put in a decent corner or free kick, someone that can hold the ball up and someone that can win a header in the opposition box. (accepting its not just about individuals, we'd also want to address the pedestrian/predictable build up play that has made us everyone's favourite opposition away from home).
