A think Morrison leaving was a clear showing to the youth who s boss and to be honest am glad to be honest. In fergie we trust, no having any 18 yer old want to be gangster take the piss out united and fergie

Seeming he was 1 of only 2 talented players coming through it was dumb, Fergie should of man managed him better.

One minute he's the next best thing then the minute he leaves, he wasn't good enough.

Tom.

If you think we only have 2 talented players coming through then you dont watch them at all

Sorry but if he wouldn't toe the line he had to go he is a dinlo

Pardoe

2 talented players? that's laughable.

Anon

2 things.

he needed to get out of Manchester.

And no matter how much talent someone has if they don't have the right work ethic, then they aren't going to make it at a club like Man United

Ha ha, should have man managed him better!? You must be one of these people that questions every decision Fergie makes thinking you can do better.

No one has said he wasn't good enough for starters!

If someones head isn't in the right place there is nothing you can do. united have been patient and mroe than willing to give him a chance and everytime it gets thrown back in their face.

Tom.

Perhaps you should watch the United reserves play, only then you would know that we have some top quality youth. Lets not forget it is harder to make the grade at a club like United than it is at a club like Liverpool.

Sydney!

Use your heads lads.

What do you think Morrison's gonna do in London? Join a chess club? Learn crochet for his quiet nights in during the week?

No. He gravitates towards trouble and London is over-flowing with trouble and trouble-makers. I give him a couple of months tops, before he's back in the faeces.

This whole 'the lad needs to get away from Manchester' train of thought is cool, but anyone who thinks he's going to turn into an angel just because he's not living in Manc anymore is fooling themselves.

Me and my mates all left South Wales to go to different Unis, but that didn't stop us travelling to each other on weekends. Ravel's mates will be 'larging it' in London most weekends, I'd imagine.

RED_SKY

Once he starts playing, I'd imagine he'll start to work harder. I fully believe that him being away from his friends will help him massively.

Percy

To be fair to west ham they have a great record of bringing through youth - probably the best academmy in England. They don't however have a great record of helping those youngsters fully develop into world class players. The best comparrison i can think of is Joe Cole, absolutely brilliant player who had the world at his feet then peaked to early, didn't see the need to progress and eventually stagnated. I believe morrison will do the same, if he goes to training. As for those who think Big Sam will get the best out of him, they are wrong. He may be a good disciplinarian but he is a terrible tactician and his teams are never fun to watch - Morrison will be made to play into the whole boot it up the park technique Big Sam has always employed and this will stifle his development. In the next few years we will see Ravel on the front pages for all the wrong reasons because he will again think he is bigger than his club and not give a s**te and fall back into his 'gangsta' ways.

He will always regret that he was a douche and left Utd.

Just seen this.

"Pogba did very well. He’s got great talent and has a tremendous physique for a young boy. You can’t believe he’s 18. I was very pleased [with his performance]. It was a good time to bring him on as we were in control of the game and it gave him a chance to be confident with the ball," the 70-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"We are negotiating his contract at the moment. It’s a bit complicated as he’s changed his agent a couple of times. The boy wants to stay, I think that’s obvious."

Sorry for copy and paste, but its good to hear some good news what with the lack of spending this January.

You could tell when Pogba smiled he knows he wants to be here.

Going to sound like a bit of a rant but hey ho.

United are not going to be bidding £50 million for Modric or anyone else for that matter, mark my word's. Also people who continuously go on about Sneijder please STOP it will not happen United no longer interested. If we make a Marquee signing in the summer the player will not be more than £30 million at the very most. United don't have £50 million to spend on one player (except ofcourse the return of one C. Ronaldo which I doubt will ever happen)

United Till I Die 1987

Please STOP making stupid statements when in actual fact you don't have a CLUE what's going to happen in the summer.

rpc

UTID

Totally agree mate. The days of United signing marquee players are LONG gone.

£15-20million is our new price range, but I for one don't think this is that big of a deal. I have no problem with us not spending huge sums, I just want us to spend SOMETHING to improve a waning squad with weaknesses.

RED_SKY

I would hope we didn't bid 50 mil for Modric
Mike

I can't agree with you more 'UTID 1987' we will not spend 50 million on one man. I think at best we will have about 50 million to spend in the summer. I think the biggest name that we could see coming in could be Christian Eriksen, i think he would be a realistic target. I think the size of our budget is testiment to the players we have been linked with that seem realistic - Clyne, Vadillo, Eriksen, van Wolfswinkel, Alba, Cissokho. They are all good players and are definatly in our price range.

RedDevil19

I would suggest that goes without saying. Even if we were owned by a Qatari billionaire, I cannot see SAF spending that kind of money on 1 player. I dont think anyone believed we would bid £50million for Modric or anyone else.

TK-Red

Rpc lol fair do's. I did say De Gea was coming and Sneijder (which very nearly happened) Ravel to West Ham and the new lad Veseli from City to us. I'm not trying to prove myself to people I just want to share thing's I hear with other United fan's (no I don't hear them in my head lol) that's what this site is all about after all.

RED_SKY and RedDevil19 I'm glad to see there is still people with sense out there. and RED_SKY your dead right 15-20 million is our price range now unless the right player is available problem is player's that were worth 20-30 million two/three years ago are now 40-50 million. Price's will come down soon as everyone has to tighten their belts not just in football but every business.

United Till I Die 1987

Totally agree, but lets be fair throwing money around does not always guarantee sucess. i would much rather see a player come through the ranks than pay 50million for someone
jenny

UTID

Definitely, it'll sort itself out in the end but for now we've got to be shrewd and that's no biggy - there are great prospects out there we can afford, and without a hulk of a pricetag, less pressure on both the player and the club for the transfer to be an instant success.

RED_SKY

UTID - I think for a very special player we would stretch to £25 million. But beneath £20 million is our price range - and also with the FFP ruling clubs cannot demand such extortionate fee's. Fee's can't keep on rising, i think they have more or less platued and will now drop gradually.

RedDevil19

Spot on Jenny.

Ian ridley on talksh1tt says we have some sort of buy back clause for ravel in his contract.
Ste73

I personally think it would be very surprising if there wasn't one!

The fact that he'd been linked to Newcastle and Roma plus others then he ends up at West Ham with Big Sam who is a very close friend of SAF suggests that there has been some sort of deal struck surely?!

Ports

To be honest, I'd be surprised if we didn't. I think we know well the talent he has, and SAF will be ready to take him back provided his attitude changes at West Ham.

Percy

Considering the talent he is, i would really hope there is one. I personally think this will be a good move as it will open his eyes and show him how lucky he is/was at United and he lives up to his potential he will get a 2nd chance.

We don't have a buy back clause in his contract.

United Till I Die 1987

I imagine we would have a first refusal or we would get a percentage of his future sell on fee.

Sydney!

Ive tweeted ridley and he replied we have a first refusal in his contract,united till i die i think i will believe the highly respected journo fella !

UTID 1987 - wish you would stop posting statements on this site which you claim are fact when in truth you know nothing more that what you read in the papers.

The Evening Standard (very close to Allardice, he does a weekly column) said there was no buy back clause.

saw on a transfer website that morrison went to west ham, does anyone know if it was a loan or a transfer, and if so how much?

Permanent transfer. £650k potentially rising up to £2m.

rpc

Sky Sports quoted that it was a permanent transfer for around £700k with add on's that could take the deal to £2m in the future. If West Ham gain promotion to the Premiership, Morrison will be on a whopping £65k a week.

Transfer, £1m

Transfer. 3-and-a-half year deal, United could eventually get £3 million if he makes X amount of appearances and West Ham get promoted this season or next.

United Till I Die 1987

Saw somewhere his agent got 1mil lol

Who do you boys reckon Everton have shifted behind closed doors? Seem to have been shifting some weight round in the transfer market, wondered if anyone knows anything? The Rodwell/Barkley rumours probably have more foundation to them, doesn't mean they'll happen though...

Just to cheers everyone up...
Saha was described as clinical by a spurs fan on slysports...


Jack

Clinical because he's always in hospital?.

To be fair, when he's fit he's good, but my god, now spurs have him it's like another Darren Anderton.

DerbyDevil

They got 5mill for that russian
