I think he's achieved all he can achieve at this level. If we're still playing Championship football next season then he should be looking to move to a higher level, and he would do so with everyone's best wishes.

I don’t expect him to be here next season. However if we did offer him an extension which he accepted on the understanding we wouldn’t stop him moving on, it would mean we would get a fee when he left. I just hope he goes to an appropriate level, not the likes of Livi.

Given his age now, we won’t be entitled to a fee at the end of this season, and the only time we can cash in will be this month. His signing of a new deal was a marriage of convenience- his agent’s hands were tied by the compensation rules. There’s no way he signed a deal so that Morton could get a fee for him, footballers just don’t do things like that, unless the circumstances are exceptional.

Apparently wasn't playing at the start of the season because of his attitude towards the club for not letting him go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Happy with that, a better option than Kabia in the pecking order for wingers and a better option to cover Strapp than King.

He was playing at the start of the season was he not? My memory isn't the best If I remember correctly he lost his man at a corner in a couple of games in a row that we conceded from (Hamilton away definitely one of the games) and then he dilly dallied on the ball at cappielow and almost cost us a goal and Dougie subbed him and he lost his place.

What? He was out of contract and nobody picked him due to us being due compensation.

port-ton Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Wonder if Hynes is away on loan or been released. Was down getting Celtic ticket this morning and he came out of cappielow before the rest of the players on his own wearing civilian clothes and then rest of players came out a wee while later in training gear to car share up to parklea. Could possibly just be injured I suppose but if Dougie is looking to get some players out the door then he's probably at the top of the list given the cover at rightback we have.

I noticed this as well and saw he was carrying a binbag. Could be totally wrong but I thought that he was perhaps off out on loan. I also didn't see Kabia come out but could have missed him.

vikingTON Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 A shame for him personally as he was only ever the unwitting victim of slaphead Gus' esteemed 'eye for talent'. He always did his best but this was at least one level beyond his genuine ability - hopefully he can make a decent career for himself somewhere down the pyramid. 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 No surprise, with Grimshaw signed up he wasn't going to appear again barring a major injury crisis. Hopefully a sign that more attacking depth is on the way shortly.

BishopBrennan Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hynes was incredibly unfortunate that Hopkin was in charge at the age where he should have been introduced into the first team squad. Whilst Morton did him absolutely no favours and definitely stunted his development, I don't think Hynes was ever going to be good enough for the Championship in any event. Fingers crossed he finds a club at a suitable level and kickstarts his career. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
