Is there something in that? Nope not to my knowledge... however I knew nothing about Ravel morrison watching training and being shown round Rockcliffe today either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We play very different to Sheff U's system though we have been using the 523 recently as well but the 532 we played with Roberts was more a 5311 I'm saying in Wilder's 532 with the channel runner types he never really fit and they never play wingers. Nmecha from the left and Morrison from the right might be the idea here Woodgate seems insistent on the 523 lately. Link to post Share on other sites

However, a potentially high reward player coming in to salvage a career on a short term deal is about as low risk as you can get. Especially for a team like ours that can barely field a full squad atm without filling it full of teenagers. Based on what? Alex Ferguson's thoughts on him nearly 10 years ago? Some players just don't make it, Bryn Morris was the dogs *** coming through the academy and was being looked at by Chelsea, Man U and the likes, he currently plays for Portsmouth.

I just don't believe you end up on the books of 3 different premier league teams & a Serie A team without having potential. It has to be something other than a talent problem with him, and that makes it worth a punt in our situation IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 6 month contract.. prob 8k a week. No fee = 176k outlay , Randolph 35k a week = 770k saving. Rough figures of course. Link to post Share on other sites

There’s literally nothing to lose. The potential positives massively outweigh the negatives. If he’s a *** and turns out crap, then bin him off after 6 months. If he’s good, sign him up on a longer contract in the summer. We need bodies, we don’t have anyone creative apart from Roberts and hes now out for 2 months. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,301 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Like Will I'd like to know what the potential reward is with Morrison, because I have seen nothing to suggest that there is a reward since he left United 8 years ago after playing just 3 games. If it wasn't because he came from Uniteds academy he'd probably have spent a career in lower league football. Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the money we're paying him to sign, the money we're paying his agent, the money we pay him every month. And that's before we even talk about potentially disrupting squad harmony. I see no positive from this, and I'll be delighted to be proved wrong, but I'm almost certain I won't be. Link to post Share on other sites
