I agree but there have to be limits on what we offer Morrison due to his injury record. If he's holding out for 2 years or even 1 + 1 (appearance triggered), then I can understand the hold up from our side.
I just hope we have someone else lined up in case Morrison leaves. In the short term I could see Barnes slotting into Morrison's more central role but then we lose out on his impact from the left.
Has to be 1+1 but as you said I'm sure he will be asking for 2 years.
It's also about reducing his base pay and offering more for performances.
Barnes in the middle allows Brunt on the left. Think he is wasted in cm and also it will prevent field getting games. Not to mention Phillips can go left and we can get Burke to have a go on the right and see if our money was wasted or not.
Even if we retain Morrison we need to replace chadli. I still think we may go for maddison
