Going by comments on Twitter, Caddis has been in with and was offered a contract by us, but knocked it back due to the wages. Would’ve been a very good signing as well.

 

Have you got a link to the Tweets? 

You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!

Strapp signed on until 2022

Knowing the website, here is the post for when the site inevitably crashes.

We are delighted to report that left-back Lewis Strapp has today penned a contract extension to commit himself to the club until 10 June 2022.

Dunoon-born Lewis joined our youth academy upon its inception in 2012, progressing through the ranks before earning his first professional deal in December 2015, shortly after his 16th birthday.

His senior debut followed at the beginning of the 2016/17 season when he was handed his first start in a Betfred Cup group tie away at Albion Rovers and he has since gone on to make a total of 29 first-team appearances for the Ton.

The 19-year-old also spent time out on loan with Elgin City and Annan Athletic, for whom he made 24 appearances and helped reach the final of the Ladbrokes League One promotion play-offs last term.

Speaking exclusively to gmfc.net, manager David Hopkin said: “I am delighted that Lewis has committed his future to the club for the next two and a half years.

“It is imperative when building a team to secure young talent as we have done with Reece Lyon and now Lewis Strapp.

“I look forward to continuing to work and help Lewis develop as a player and I have every confidence that he will show further improvements playing in a Morton jersey.”

Best news from Cappielow for a while.

Heard last week they were trying get him signed up for two years, glad it came through.

We need to move players on before bringing anyone in during the January transfer window according to Hopkin in the Tele. Would quite gladly see the back of most of the squad.

 

Got to think Orsi, Muirhead, King and Livingstone will leave at least.

Muirhead is out of contract at the end of the season. For his own good, presumably he's looking for an exit, because he's tumbling down the full-time pecking order (MK Dons to Dunfermline to Morton to... oblivion) and needs first-team football if he's going to prove himself again. For whatever reason Hopkin has signed him but doesn't fancy him, least of all in his preferred position up front, so he really needs to get going if he's not going to play.

 

It's not too late for him, and a certain other Scotland youth international with a decent reputation hit rock bottom at Morton before reinventing himself at Little Ayr. Stranger things have happened...

I think he could be decent through the middle with Nesbitt and Cadden out wide suppling crosses and/or playing off him.

 

McHugh does an OK job there but I'm amazed Hopkin hasn't played him up top after talking him up something awful

when he signed, especially when the goals dried up.

 

Doubt we will see it right enough, Hopkin seems to have made his mind up already. Maybe he is too old and experienced for this young, inexperienced squad he is creating...

He also says that Orsi has sustained a few injuries in training which shows the "intensity" they work at. I'm no expert, but if your training is causing players to be repeatedly injured then I'd have thought that'd be a cause for concern rather than celebration.

 

Isn't McElhone supposed to be a fitness coach by trade? What exactly is his contribution if he's over-seeing repetitive injuries in his sessions?
