I understand your hypothetical but just wanted to add context for Morrison's situation with injuries
I feel that Marti's outlook is to field the best team possible and will not be dictated by any off the field situation (contracts, loan). Hence last year Willock was still playing, Hayden is getting minutes over Dixon-Bonner etc.
Ultimately his position is very competitive with Edwards, Cook, Fox and JCS when fit. With this and the fact they are being careful with his minutes it is difficult right now.
I'm sure when the time comes he will have a starting berth. JCS - Morrison from next season  |

Had to make sure this wasn't a CSKA Moscow forum with how much pro-Russia slop is in this latter pages of this thread. I don't think history will react to those viewpoints so nicely
Slava Ukraini and I hope this EU coalition can be the building blocks to bring peace to their land |

Morrison is coming back from 2 nasty injuries (and a surgery) this season. He's only 21 and they are easing him back in
Even with this he's played 11 games and with the 11 games left I'd imagine the minutes will start to ramp up
The 3 game to 30 game comparison is quite an exaggeration here I think |

This "loans are contracted to play % of games / minutes" should be added to the "pay as you play" "can Remy play in playoffs" LFW encyclopedia
I haven't seen this confirmed anywhere yet I see it posted here constantly as fact
Ashby hasn't started a league game since 6th January and barely played any minutes since
Edwards was signed as cover (great timing with JCS and Morrison injuries and definitely has minutes ramped because of that)
Yang is used as one-two combo with Smyth and has only started twice in 6 games. Cover was also needed in right side of attack
There's some teams in the league that have to leave loans out as they are past the quota of allowed loan players in a matchday squad (5). I'm not finding any issue with our business this season in this regard [Post edited 3 Mar 11:41]

I don't think this idea of freezing out loan players would benefit us at all in future windows. Loan market if done correctly can be very impactful (10/11 - Walker, Routledge, Smith, Miller)
Agree with the sentiment of just playing our strongest XI

Nice goal from Pearman, as you say has reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement for the summer
(Less said about the keeper the better)

We were still receiving parachute payments so that income / wage ratio will look nicer. 35M of TV income that year compared to 9M in the past year |

It's actually no where near as bad as it is in the Championship. No doubt due to the crazy TV money they receive. But in comparison it does show the disparity of finances in the football pyramid and how much of a catastrophe our league is. The overspending on the "premier league gamble" cannot be sustainable for the majority of teams

Found a list of Wages to Turnover from the previous 2 years - I wouldn't imagine much has changed. Being on the good side of that 100 I would say is "good". Ticking time bomb for some I'd imagine

Can only find figures from a few years ago (bottom tweet) but this shows how much of a money sink clubs at this level are

First time we've been under 100% since 2019, looks to be improving year on year. Just got to hope we keep going that way.
A lot better than the 195% in 2014  |

Entitled to your opinions but I won't let one poor game determine mine. Varane has been instrumental in the upside of our form and I suspect would do a lot better next to a ball playing midfielder like Morgan that can compliment him |

How has Varane had his name snuck into a list with Madsen and Ashby? |

The Orient manager said on the radio that they would be priced out of making Kelman a permanent in the summer. Not confirmed whether that is transfer fee or wages, make of that what you will |

Agree and as I've said in another thread. 8 international players in the starting 11 with a further 3 on the bench.
I've seen Liverpool fans say "well done for beating our academy team" on socials. Sure they were weakened but this shouldn't be downplayed and Plymouth deserve all the plaudits. |

Only the 8 international players in the starting 11 (and a further 3 on the bench). Poor plucky Liverpool.
Plymouth away just isn't for everyone. |

This is likely a salary from an earlier club just like the Steve Cook / Begovic 30k numbers that have been denied previously. Speculating on players salaries is pure guess work with Nourry at the helm, no one knows this information |

RE: Yang
If Smyth went down with an injury I don't think it's as easy to replace as you may think. Saito is more natural on the left, Dembele more natural in the middle. Sure you could shoe horn a Kolli or Lloyd but again not natural at all.
Our squad has really lacked in an important attribute in the past which is pace and I think the lad has that. I don't think it's a bad signing for depth.
I do agree that Kolli will need more minutes at some point but I'm sure that will come. |
