Morrison signed his after promotion. A couple of points to this: I don't think that every one of them would demand as much as that despite still being in the team post-promotion. I also don't think any Championship team would have offered Morrison one of the better salaries in the Championship to play for them. It just doesn't add up at all that he would be on one of the highest basic salaries in Sheffield United's wage budgets. If I was a Sheffield United player and became aware of that fact, I'd be thoroughly *** off. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 At least we are looking at the foreign market. If anything the bloody Ravel Morrison is a Gary Gill special 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Signing Morrison is pointless and deep down we all know how it's going to end. If Derby were signing him everyone on here would be writing him off. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49012186 I remember listening to Kevin Nolan about him in the summer when I was so shocked to see him go there and it made for interesting listening. Also apparently he's unfollowed Sheffield United on Twitter and started following us instead. This is great. Link to post Share on other sites

If I was a Sheffield United player and became aware of that fact, I'd be thoroughly *** off. Why doesn't it add up? I've just said, most of their current player signed deals before they were in the Premier League. Morrison signed his after promotion. You don't think that makes a massive difference when negotiating contracts? I think it makes all the difference. I bet we had the same issues when we were promoted with our signings coming in on good money that would have been higher than some of those who were already there - and we were probably already paying a few of them decent money beforehand anyway. I have no idea how much he's on, I just don't find it difficult to believe he'd be on that kind of money. With no transfer fee involved it's a relatively low amount of money when your club's income has increased by as much as theirs has, with costs that probably haven't gone up much at all - unlike ours.

Moreso because of other points made. If his salary could add up to £25k yeah, of course... but a basic salary on a player like Morrison with his background? Link to post Share on other sites

It's only for a year though, and by the looks of it, it's not even going to last that long. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'd honestly rather have Albert back for 6 months if he's available. Even if it was just to further annoy CT as we continue getting the band back together. 😅 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If Derby were signing him everyone on here would be writing him off. Come on Derby paid 5 million for Jacob Butterfield they're on their own planet when it comes to crap transfer decisions! Give use some credit at least we're committing 350k for a 5 month trial. He warrants peoples scepticism I'm sceptical myself but he's on a free for a few months, we don't score enough goals can't find room to sign a new striker so the next best thing we can hope for is an attacking midfielder out of Morrison for 5 months or McGeady for 5 months who would be better for us? Just because of what they could be and it being a write off period anyway let's see what happens with Ravel's trial imo. Link to post Share on other sites
