Hopefully Quitongo signs up sooner rather than later as well. Find it strange that Jai hasn’t got himself a club yet if he is moving on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_M Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Find it strange that Jai hasn’t got himself a club yet if he is moving on.Not that strange that he is struggling to find someone willing to pay the compensation for a player with his injury record.What's more strange is what on earth Tiffoney thinks he is doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbineTon Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Both being a bit stubborn if you ask me, tbh. We've been nothing but loyal to Jai through all of his injuries and have no doubt contributed some his rehab. He really ought to stop listening to his fanny of a father and gangster agent. He's fucked unless a big boy pays the compensation. I would avoid burning bridges if i was him. Tiffoney will have his agent doing the same thing but, like Jai, we're due comp so the likelihood is he'll struggle. Both, although jai to a lesser extent, trying to run before they can walk.

Strange he is still hanging about there when we are unlikely to budge on what we want, they are the least likely to pay it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all the inside scoops on the official site, it is well documented that Tiff is a bit thick.Crazy especially when you consider his brother was frozen out of a pro contract under similar circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Quitongo has at least shown signs of having the potential to play at a higher level, for all that his injuries mean he'd be a massive gamble. Even without compensation being a factor, if Tiffoney was to leave Morton you'd think he'd struggle to find a full time deal elsewhere. It's bigger act of self-sabotage than Carlo Monti or Stefan McCluskey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bigger act of self-sabotage than Carlo Monti or Stefan McCluskey.That previous trial with Swansea U23s going to his head.Night and day the attitudes between him and Strapp who also had that trial. Strapp's head firmly screwed on while Tiff could very well see his career nosedive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I think today should be the last day for both. I would prefer to have at least one, but I feel the delay is becoming excessive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be waiting to see if you break, I'd imagine there has been some sort of negotiation between the clubs. End of the day though, he's not your player, so all you have to do is sit back. Someone will sign him at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopLenBrennan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 As I've mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't be bothered if we did lose Tiffoney. He doesn't have a great deal of technical ability and his match intelligence matches his general intelligence. Raw pace won't cut it at this level. If he doesn't resign then he'll wash up at a Pollock or a Clyde. Quitongo leaving would leave a rather bad taste given the club have paid his wages during rehab, but we all know that birthday caird pish goes out the window when it comes to transfers. He has a horrific injury record and doesn't have a fantastic goal record, so he would be a massive gamble to any club taking him on. They're both in very precarious positions at the moment and I'm beginning to think they're going to end up back at Cappielow with their tails between their legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbineTon Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It seems that unlike Russell, McKinnon is willing to hold out a little longer for Jai and Tiff. That being said, i'd patch them after today if they don't give us an answer. Weekend at a push. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 A fit Jai would fly under McKinnon and his style of football i reckon. I'm sure all the sports science stuff would help with his fitness too, making sure he is not overdoing it etc. Heard players were told to sit out certain sessions in pre season after test results etc, no chance that would have happened under Duffy. The care and attention to detail is clearly paramount this season and hopefully it makes a big difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Taylor is clearly at the club as several players have mentioned him but not sure in what capacity. He's been a Coach and a Director of Football as part of McKinnon's setup before so who knows. That's Darren Taylor's role clarified then. https://gmfc.net/2018/07/06/darren-taylor-appointed-first-team-coach/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahid khan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Refreshing to hear about looking to win every game and being competitive in the league than the dross from the last few seasons about competing with the likes of Livingston and having no chance against European giants Dundee United. Welcome to Morton Darren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, my reading of it was he'd be Ray's 2nd in command, but i take your point! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
