As much as it would have been nice to add a world-class #6 this summer, Morton staying and presumably being given a chance to prove himself at LFC is a serious silver lining. There is no better timing than coming off a successful 2-year loan spell; he wasn’t ready after 1 year and 3 would have been too many.
People will scoff at the notion of Morton being “like a new signing,” but that’s exactly what he is - a promising 21-year-old midfielder who plays in a role where we need depth and cover. He can do a lot of the things Gravenberch is doing at #6 - he can turn with the ball, pass safely or creatively, scores occasional worldies, and has some work to do to improve the defensive side of his game. I hope Slot gives him a genuine chance.
