I wonder if TFC got in touch with Frings? Hopefully Morrow will be all set come the new year.

id assume so, Kevin Payne claimed some sort of on going partnership if im not mistaken and we also sent Osorio there last season.
Should be good for him to train under Skripnik

It wouldn't be the first time the FO and their social media team weren't on the same page.

That was Earl Cochrane's style, not Bez's.

Justin could very well find himself in the USMNT Jan camp.

I hope he does. He desrves at least a call-up to camp.

reading the comments from werder fans on morrow's instagram is interesting...they want him...good for him then! That'd be a big move for him!

yes it would, currently have Santiago Garcia who had a great season last year but has been soso this year. Caldirola is also a possible leftback but primarily plays CB and has seen mostly the bench. I have to admit i wouldnt mind him playing there although not at TFC`s expense. I do think he`d fit in great with Skripnik and his new plans

As the current replacement would be either Bloom switched over or Morgan....I'm not sure we are ready for our best defender last season to move on. :(

While it would suck to lose him, it is great for him and I would wish him all the best. His play was one of the hugely positive things about this season.

Agreed, he was our most consistent player. Seems like a great guy in the locker room too. Hope he stays but I'd be happy for him if he gets a move to a bigger league.

I wouldnt stress him moving too much, as of recently Werder hasnt had a lot of money to throw around. That being said there were rumors that if Lemke, chairman of the board left, local investors would send double digit millions for transfers etc. Like i said i think it would be a surprise if he did leave tho

Your right. Warner is there to. Wow, im really surprised. Where does warner fit into plans? Or is this to increase trade/draft value

also, "The duo arrived on Friday and will be training with Werder Bremen II until the weekend"
WTF is this? a vacation? So short

For Warner is more likely to expose him to an environment with very high standards because they believe that he can eventually make the step up. Maybe it's a 'wake up call' without being so dramatic.

Clearly Vanney sees/knows something we don't. I definitely think Morrow can make the jump, dude can play.

Nelsen also saw something in Warner - spoke very highly of him when we got him. I still don't see it. Maybe with a different formation he'll shine a bit brighter - but right now I'd say he's lower/mid calibre player.

Morrow is more upper/mid calibre IMO

totally agree. obviously those coaches (both TOTALLY different), have seen something that indicates he can give more. Which personally, i'm totally cool with. The boy has been on some good squads and was drafted reasonably.

i thought Warner looks really good early on right after the trade. Then he seemed to fade in the second half of the season.

would totally suck to lose Morrow to another club. I'm not saying that it is likely to happen as i think this training does not imply some sort of transfer in the making, but for all this talk of "good for him if he goes to a bigger club" well it would shitty for us to lose a player of his caliber. We need more Justin Morrows not less.

I follow/support Werder closely. They dont have much cash. If they do get some they are likely to buy a defensive mid or a striker (names are being thrown around). A LB would be nice but isnt a priority. Hes practicing with the u-23 team. Dont worry.
