DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Morrison is at last chance saloon to save his career. Character is questionable, but could be a move to suit both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've been really positive about this season up until today and I don't believe my view has changed because of the game over the weekend but I think it's because we start the season properly this week. Yes we have until the end of the month to sign players but I've suddenly got very uneasy. Our team is very very similar to last season, we still have holes at the back, our midfield doesn't have a general, we don't have many options for creativity and I'm not sure upfront where the goals are coming from. I'm putting blind faith Xia and RDM but I'm getting a little worried as I know they are trying but the season starts this week. The clubs confidence is still shot and a few defeats early on could send us into a bad spiral with a lot of last seasons players heads dropping, fans anger and then who would want to come to us on deadline day......not anybody worthwhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 having read this article I wouldn't be against Morrison signing for us. He's obviously aware of where he went wrong and a year abroad should have helped him mature. If we can keep his head screwed on he's easily a premier league player. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11916281/Ravel-Morrison-Manchester-United-gave-me-too-many-chances.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Based on the information coming from Tony and Roberto over the past week or so my guess is they are after premier league players as their first choice. Have no ideas who but it makes sense that these are not cut and dried signings. I just hope they have some pretty solid Plan B options that they can move onto if things don't Look like panning out.

I guess people's hearts are in the right place but throwing around labels like 'knob-jockey' to combat homophobia is a bit silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Morrison is exactly the type of player we could use. He knows how to unlock a defence and has plenty of ability. His attitude is questionable but I think it would be worth taking the risk. I don't think we'll sign him though, which is a shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was worried about, it's the same as premier league experience needed when we're in the Premier League. I was hoping that while needing a few experienced players we would go and raid the best of the championship and below in search of players who are good enough and have a desire and need for a platform to get to the prem. sadly I feel if we go for Premier League Experience to get back we get cast offs who aren't needed but think they deserve it. Sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
