I've always said that Carrick was far too over-rated in that position. Similar to how Barry was seen as being crucial to England's midfield a few years back. To me, it says more about the team than the player, that these players are seen as being so important in the first XI. If the teams had better players for that position, then they wouldn't get a mention. Morgan is at least twice the player Carrick is. They've done really well to beat Arsenal to his signature, assuming the Gunners don't come in with a whopping last minute bid (in terms of fee and wage).
Not far off £40m for him and Clyne. Another good summer's work, so long as we once again reinvest it well.
First of the two sales made official. Clyne gone for £10m to Liverpool, rising to £12.5m.
