He has played 22 games in the last 3 seasons, scoring 0 goals. Talent isn't something that always sticks. It needs to be worked on to be maintained. It seems to me that Morrison is better suited for a job in Morrisons lol
Not having consistency may understandably due to lack of gametime. Lack of fitness however is entire due to his lack of professionalism.
Oh poor you
Summed it up. He had talent at youth level, but has never done anything of note as a first team player. Someone like Junuzaj has had a far better career than him, and at least he has a chance of a decent career in the long run. There are so many talented kids who never make it. People yearn after Morrison because he's not actually played enough for some people to see that he's not cut out to be a good player. He's only played 76 games in his career and the vast majority in the Championship, that's his level if he's lucky.

People yearn for him because it was very clear at youth level he was one of the few who would make it at senior level if he pulled his finger out and worked for it. It's too late now, he got left behind and will never catch up. It's purely a case of what could have been.
Possibly.... hopefully it clicks into place for him and he starts to look at players like waddle... wright... vardy who didn't make it to the top leagues till mid 20's and he will make the most of his talent.. .. probably not given the evidence to date but I hope he can
I dunno... McGrath.. . Never trained... alcoholic... his talent seemed to get him through though
Everyone's talent is limited. His talent is just a lot less limited than most.
That means very little if he can't actually do it on a match day. Tons of very talented players don't make it as professionals - many of them could be just as talented or even more so than Morrison. It takes luck and professionalism to make it as a pro as well as ability. You can be the most talented player in the world but if you don't care about your career or don't have the professionalism to train and work as part of a team you won't make it. Morrison should be used as a horror story to scare young players.
You want all the dregs back at United don't you. So you just not want to replace your 2007 team poster on your wall?
Surely you get that I'm just talking about his natural talent? Everyone knows he's wasting his career. Old news.
Maybe at 15 or so. I dont buy this "it's all about attitude" thing as he didnt shine much on the pitch either. So he had some great skills, but lacked in so many other departments most likeyl, hence he had limited talent
Nothing you've said here is correct.
This so much

What did he lack? please explain?
I dont know but maybe it was his football intelligence or something else. It's easier to stand out when you're younger (remember Freddy Adu?) but once you play with the big boys, your weaknesses will show. If not, he'd be a proper player by now, still standing out in games
Nope, nothing to see there, he's actually pretty much a genius on the pitch. One of those players who always seem to do the right thing in a zidanesque way. His biggest weakness is that no one trusts him enough to play him enough. Even against big boys in 15 mins vs fulham he turned the match around.
Only thing that held him back is outside influences and his attitude. Ability wise he's as good as anything England have produced in decades, comparison with Adu is wholly wrong.
It would be interesting for him to be in the same team as John Terry and I recall Harry's team was the other team considering JT before he moved to Villa. I just wonder if JT could be a stabilising factor. Doubt we will ever know.
I like to see our own become successful, what's wrong with that?
