Morrison doesn't deserve to play for our great club, I dont care if he's Best reincarnate. He's a low life that has broken the law on many occasions for serious crimes and has no respect for United or the fans. Dont gimme that bulls**t about him having a hard upbringing or his friends are bogeys, boo fu*cking who. He has an unbelievable chance to play football for the best club in the world and he's pissing it down the drain.

Potential is only potential. Gimme a hard working kid any day over a pre-madonna with no work ethic that has accomplished the square root of fook all.

Patience has ran out!

With all this speculation regarding Ravel Morrison you would think he was going to be United's savior. Yes, I would totally agree the boy has the potential to become a good player but at this time that's all it is, if he was truely class as some people have mentioned he would be involved in United's first-team on a weekly basis however he's not. And I think it's pretty obvious why. The boys head seems to be in the wrong place and you certainly would question his attitude because continuesly missing traning and complaining on social networking sites is not going to do him any favours, he needs to get his act together and decide if he wants to become the player we all believe he is capable of becoming. And I might add there is no one better than SAF to bring the best out off Ravel but the kid is sending the wrong messages he should be doing his talking on the pitch, proving a point that he deserves to be in the first-team.

Can we realistically see a quality central midfielder coming in any time soon? Well i think alot of that depends on the status of Pogba and of Morrison. Personally i think both stay, SAF will speak with them - they will get game time next season for sure as will Fryers and maybe Tunnicliffe. So whats likely, well i think you cast off the likes of Modric, Sneijder, Gotze etc from your list.

Instead we will go for less well known players who will enhance the squad. 3 to 4 players that i feel have the quality to improve the squad are:

Versatile Defender: Cesar Azpilicueta £8 million.
Central Midfielder: Mateo Kovacic £7.5 million.
Winger: Alvaro Vadillo.
Experienced Striker: Raul, Huntelaar, Toni.

I have named these players as A) They are very realistically priced. B) They all have something to add.

I went for Azpilicueta as we have been tracking him for some time, he can play fullback on either side so therefore he can fill in with injuries and perhaps hold down a spot in the right back position. He would certainly add competition. Kovacic is young enough to be moulded into an all around midfielder. Even at such a young age he has excelled in the Champions League where he has gained tonnes of experience for a youngster.

We have been monitoring Vadillo for a while, he would be available for 2.5 million (that goes up as he makes more appearences). I think we will move for him depending on how he recovers from his injury. As for strikers i think we will see a large out going of players such as Berbatov, Owen, Diouf. Two of those add experience to the squad - so adding a bit more experience into the side is paramount. Raul will be a free agent and still has a great eye for goal, for me Macheda replaces Berbatov hopefully and Raul for Owen. Experience for experience and an injection of youth.

I dislike Steven Gerrard, I really do. Its in my blood. I also think Glen Johnson's tackle on his namesake was slightly worse than Kompany's on Nani. However, I have to say fair play to Gerrard for interrupting Mancini's post match interview to point out that Mancini was doing precisely the same thing he accused Wayne Rooney of doing, and pointing it out live on the radio for all to hear.

sorry i know everyone is asking and your probably bored of answering but, is all this morrison talk just paper talk or is there anything actually been said by him or the club? and i dont want any stupid person commenting saying how your friends with his dad or something, if we offered him a contract surely he will accept?

12 Jan 2012 17:17:25
I don't believe any of this Morrison up for sale rubbish, there is no need to sell him, he has a contract that runs for at least another year. And he's worth much more than 500,000 - its all boring lazy jouralism that is meant to worry us. If SAF was worried he'd probably get a new deal for him sorted.

Trust in SAF - Morrison or neither Pogba will leave.

A new rule has been enforced by the FA today. Any Liverpool player seen passing the ball to Carroll, will be booked for time wasting

keep seeing Bale mentioned by you dreamers. If Redknapp is forced one day to let him go he will NOT
let him go to a premiership rival - though in a year or two's time you may not be one of their rivals

There seems to be a lot of conflicting rumour around Morrison. For me talent is only useful if it is accompanied by a work ethic. If Ravel - and I hope he does - fails to realise this he won't succeed anywhere. The biggest clubs are well run clubs with managers that will not put up with nonsense. This moment is crucial for him and I just hope he has good advisers around him.

United are playing their reserve match on Friday behind closed doors, not sure why.

nobody is bigger than MANCHESTER UNITED! especially some scruffy 18 year old who has no respect what so ever for the club. (or himself for that matter) let him leave if he wants to.

he thinks he is better than what he is, and his ego is up their with ronaldo and messi (who deserve a big ego) but ravel doesn't he has only played well for the reserves, yes he looks like a real talent and world beater one day but at the moment he is just some kid with an over-sized ego who needs to knuckle down and earn his contract and earn his place in the side.!

Telegraph reporting today that United have
"reluctantly" put Ravel Morrison up for sale and that Newcastle have bid £500,000 for him !!

I know he has had his moments outside of the club, but surely with his talent, we should be looking to him for our future. What with this and the worrying rumours about Pogba , what is happening to our Youth strategy ( and perhaps, more importantly, our club !!! )

So, young master Morrison is up for sale along with Gibson. Wish them both well.

Shame about Ravel but think the best thing for him is to get away from wythe and stop pretending he's some sort of gangsta! (just look at his twitter profile pic and try and keep a straight face) You can't have a player who doesn't turn up to training no matter how talented he is...

If Pogba leaves too then at least we can stop using the excuse that buying a new world class CM would hinder their development

As for Gibson; lets hope that he makes way for some new blood!?
