The Daily Fail are reporting West Ham will have to sell Ravel Morrison this January. Is this true eds? If so what implications will this have on Manchester United in terms of sell on clauses ( if any)?

{Ed002's Note - No, they do bot have to sell the player.}

The reports I have seen are stating that if a club offers £10 million for Morrison, West Ham have to either sell or dramatically increase his wages, which they might not be able to afford. Hence, the "they may have to sell" stories. Is he worth that sum yet? Not in my opinion

I think the key word there is "yet" Mick B. Do you pay 10m now when he's not worth that, or wait a season and maybe have to pay more. It's about taking a risk, we all know how good he can become, and he seems to have sorted out his problems, so clubs will take that into consideration.

I can't see him returning to OT myself thou.

Morrison is not worth 10m yet, but put him in a team like Swansea and (assuming he knuckles down properly) he'll be worth as much as any attacking midfielder in a couple of years. The saddest story in football, this kid could have been anything he wanted to be, unfortunately that wasn't a world class footballer.

Do you know if the reports on his contract are true Ed? i.e. the having to quadruple his wages if a 10m offer comes in and the release clause of 18m.

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that.}
