Andrew Moran

If Andy Moran had no composure and a poor first touch he'd still be playing LOI.

Moran not as good at Mano. he is good but too many lads here want him in the team since he was in the irish minor team jaysis and hes hardly kicked a ball at blackburn they are in a scrap in the first division!

I hope you were under some form of substance abuse when you wrote that.

Compare him to Wharton at Blackburn or that lad at Nottingham Forest Morgan Giggs White, who was brilliant the other night . It's pretty obvious to anyone with an iota of football knowledge that those two are going to the top . The general consensus among Brighton fans is that Moran will need another loan. While he had a good start to his loan at Blackburn it fizzled out pretty expeditiously. The previous manager regularly benched Moran, so its not just a case of just  the new guy not fancying him. Of those Blackburn fans who have seen Moran play week in week out, he has many detractors. Their main criticisms of him is that he regularly ghosts in games. and that he regularly gives up possession due to a poor touch or being muscled off the ball . His few supporters who do see qualities in him say on his game, Moran has a good touch and good vision, and might carve out a decent career for himself at Brighton. Thats fine, if he is as good as Gibbs white, or Mainoo after another loan we will all be creaming ourselves  he has done well for his first loan, compared to many of our other players (parrott at millwalll for example) if he gets another one next year and does well he has a bright future

Guess what he went on loan, gradually physically developed and made better decisions in games with experience. Andrew has 4 years to catch up with him.  As for Wharton and Mainoo you always get the very physically developed lads who find playing mens football easier at a younger age. Moran has some catching up to do. No need to write him off because he isn't in the top % of under 21 year old footballers yet.

I watched MGW more than anyone. Bar a few good cameos he didn't do a lot else (and often a liability due to very poor decision making and lacking physicality) and he got plenty of chances due to a small Wolves squad at the time and being our star academy product, Brighton for example have a lot more of those so much harder to come through. MGW eventually got his chance spending a few years in the championship on loan (Swansea then Sheff Utd) before Forest paid a whack of money for him. Good player was always talented but he was so far from the finished product at 20 years old.

He's definitely Wharton's cousin and Moran rode his woman earlier in life
