Steve: Most Aberdeen fans would agree that we'd like Morris to stay. Does Morris himself see his future away from Aberdeen, or will he try and hold Aberdeen to ransom by informing them he won't sign another contract? With what will be a difficult season ahead, Europe and domestic football to cope with, it will be a very difficult decision the Aberdeen hierarchy have to make.
We asked for your views on Shayden Morris being linked with a move to Luton Town, and whether or not you would like to keep him or see him go.
Here's what some of you said:
Steve: Most Aberdeen fans would agree that we'd like Morris to stay. But, I don't think we as fans can influence the Aberdeen board or manager in a situation like this. Just look at last season with Bojan Miovski. Every player has his price, some more valuable than others. Does Morris himself see his future away from Aberdeen, or will he try and hold Aberdeen to ransom by informing them he won't sign another contract? Then again, do you take the money and run, then buy a replacement with the proceeds of his transfer? With what will be a difficult season ahead, Europe and domestic football to cope with, it will be a very difficult decision the Aberdeen hierarchy have to make.
Allan: If you can get close to £1m for what effectively is a semi-decent squad player, and considering we have a few more speedy wingers, I would say thanks for your efforts and take the money.
Arch: It would be good to keep such a talented player but a shame to lose him for nothing next year. He's too good for League One, so Luton are unlikely to reach a sensible offer. However, others with more realistic ambitions and budgets will probably want him. He'll probably go somewhere, the board just have to get the right price.
David: Take the money! Morris had a good season but he's a one-trick pony and teams will have worked out how to stop him. He wasn't a regular starter and is unlikely to be one this season either. The money will be useful in the search for a decent striker.
Malky: The curious case of Shady Mo. Shayden is clearly a confident player, a man who Neil Warnock embarrassed, and perhaps rightly so at the time. He is now somewhat of a hero. I would hate to see him leave, there's a player there who can make the difference, but is he a 90-minute player yet? You would have to say no, but he most definitely has the potential. I would hope the club are only moving on players for the correct price. For me, we still need him and I would hope he signs a contract instead of moving on. I know there's still time, but I'm slightly more concerned about our lack of additions up front. We can't just go into the season with Ester Sokler and Kusini Yengi!
Chris: I don't think we should sell him. Let him have another season scoring goals and setting up chances, then maybe he'll be worth lots more.
