So he did feck all with Sheffield United?
Ravel Morrison
- Thread starter Jaapster
- Start date
Buy him and play him in lingards place.
You still have to pay his salary.
It's like a guy who's been married like five times and had three other relationships in between marriage before he is even 27. At some point, we need to come to the conclusion that he is a flawed character --- and unlikely to change regardless of the variety of wives whether of foreign or English extractions.
25 years from now, I am sure he will still be the best player playing at Hackney Marshes.
Hardly a surprise
Mainly injured and those ahead of him fully warranting starting ahead of him. Trained well when fit just couldn’t force his way into the team. Odd they’re looking at ending his contract as it’ll cost a big lump sum and weaken their squad.
the guy didnt standout in swedish league at all. But somehow as gonna do it in the PL?
Absolutely. He has a much bigger upside than Lingard and we could loan him till the end of the season from Sheffield United.
He’s never coming back and no where near good enough for United. He had a lot of potential and pissed it all away on his gangster mates
I'll be relieved when he retires so the nonsense talk of him returning can stop.
What upside? He has done absolutely nothing to warrant all the chances he has already been given, let alone another stab at playing for one of the world's biggest clubs. He is a joke.
Shouldn't be too long now.
He's played all of 12 minutes Premier League football, and only two games in the Carabao cup, with 1 assist.
On one hand he simply hasn't been given any meaningful minutes to even attempt to impress, which is hardly Ravel's fault. Why sign him on a free if you're not going to allow game time?
On the other hand there has to be something in training that is causal to him simply not warranting any first team minutes.
That's confusing, then. If he's trained well then he ought to get some game time, even from the bench, but he's played 12 minutes total in the Prem. Even accepting that others fully warrant starting ahead of him, how do we account for not even getting bench minutes? Sheff Utd. aren't that stacked with midfield talent that the most naturally talented midfielder in the squad cannot get a few more minutes to impress. There's got to be something more to this than performance merit. After all, how can you earn playing merit off 12 mins of football?
Because he’s not actually that good, and no footage of him playing in a youth game ten years ago is going to change that.
It's not odd at all the odd thing was they signed him in the first place as he missed his chance to make it years ago .
He has no chance now of ever making it at the top level
The guy is 27 in a month. He's done feck all in his career (apart from throw away a million chances).
It is astonishing the number of people who still think he has something to offer, all because he did some fancy stuff for the United youth teams 10 years ago. Oh, and he once scored a good goal for West Ham back in 2013.

In before people quote you with that one gif as evidence that he had Ronaldinho like potential.
At some point, people just gotta come to terms that he’s never been that good. “B-b-but he was the star of the youth team that included Pogba”, “and and and the Fergie quotes”. Yeah well, Freddy Adu was once Pele reincarnate.
He's played two games in full this season. Here's his game against Blackburn in the Carabao Cup:
Got an assist and played alright in general
Got an assist and played alright in general
I swear even 5 years from now there’s going to be people that still think we should get him, when he’s being released from some lower-half National League team. He is the living embodiment of hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.
Hi, a Blades fan in peace here. He hasn't been injured at all! There was an interview with Billy Sharp a couple of months ago joking about Ravel's fines, lateness and poor training. He's posted various things about being 'misunderstood' and in a bad place (not clear whether he means mentally or Sheffield itself!).
By all accounts old habits die hard, he's been a nightmare and peed away a great opportunity. There was real goodwill and hope for the feller (in fact a bit too much expectation if anything) but he's wasted it.
He's visibly overweight and not put the work in- made 2 appearances in the cup. He was given MOM in one which was just daft...never deserved it but again, showed the goodwill and expectation. He was given it because of his name; played again the next game and was torn to shreds. Very lazy in both.
Altogether I feel sorry for the bloke. Very lucky to have another crack at the Prem and couldn't take it. I very much appreciate the player he could've been, but there's much more than footy going on, he clearly needs some proper support. But injured and training well...nah mate.
So true. Very sad. What a waste. I read somewhere that Sir Alex was more patient with him than any other player we had. Maybe he had too much talent for his head to be able to handle
Lingard has a career that Morrison could only dream of. Morrison won't make it at any standard. The continued delusion about this player is laughable. The guy is a total joke and can't make it as a pro.
It's because he is utterly useless.
Obviously it's not just poor performance. He must be seen as a bad influence if they're prepared to pay him off to get him out of the club.
It actually won't cost them that much as he's only on a 1 year deal
Not much? He’s on 60 odd thousand a week.
Yeah he’s been on professional contracts for the last decade, so how isn’t he making it as a pro? Not achieving his potential yes, but he does make an awful lot of money through his profession.
Now why would we do that? Why?
Them terminating his contract means he has done something negative or just doesnt give a feck in general. I think he is decent for a squad player, but there is more to it. I dont think he has changed one bit attitude wise.
... are you serious?! That's crazy money for a promoted team on a hopeful punt. What was he on in Sweden?
There is no upside. Jesus christ guys. What is it with newbies and Ravel?
Those same folks would then probably start advocating for him to take-over as manager - only marginally more crazy than talking about bringing him back to play for Manchester United in 2019.
Hahahaha is he b****cks on 60k a week, he'd be Blades' best payed player!! Try a quarter/third of that
According to https://www.capology.com/club/sheffield-united/salaries/ he is on £25,000 per week.
That makes a lot more sense!
What happened to him? Is he that bad now he can't even get a game at any club?
He's probably unlucky that Sheffield are doing so well with a strict system, he'd have a better chance at Villa, Watford, Norwich IMO
He gets his signing fee on top of that over the duration of his contract, plus certain bonuses. Wages are only part of his earnings.
I wish he'd pull a Vardy but I doubt he will.
There is no doubt about his talent. I also saw a bit of his game for Sheffield Utd. He did alright and talent is something you do not lose like that. As the Blades fan said it is his attitude and other issues. What a waste of talent. If SAF and Fat Sam cannot handle him then no one can. Maybe he should have gone to Villa when Roy Keane was there?
Thanks for the insight; tremendously disappointing that he can’t embrace the opportunity he’s been given.
