CONFIRMED Ravel Morrison signs for the Blades!

[SandyMcBlade]

He's had more clubs than a well known golfer, so I'm thinking of him as more of a Leon Clark type signing than a job for life.
I'm guessing he will be the Bee's knees till the interest drifts,

Hope I 'm wrong.....

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Good person to hang with at training. Hopefully Wright can give him some good advice before he departs.

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

Ravel would be a great free signing by wilder he will get the best out of him id give him a chance like he did signing mcgoldrick one of the blades best ever free transfers wilder can find jewels in the crown in wilder we trust

 

[Ihadadream]

Have it on good authority his feet are amazing, if he gets his head in the right place could be Wilders best signing yet

If you want to see some of the skills Ravel Morrison can bring think Ronaldo, however if he turns up for united and finally lives up to his potential who knows. Take a look at this he could provide some amazing entertainment at the Lane. He is a match winner and can create something out of nothing but will he fit in.

From the video clips I've seen he looks like a genuine worldy. It seems obvious that his highlights are all too infrequent, otherwise he would be at Barcelona or Madrid. What a talent though. We can only dream of him producing that kind of stuff for the Blades on a regular basis.

If he doesn't succeed it wont be due to lack of ability. Seems like he would take the Duffy role, I wonder if he can last more than 60 mins or play 3 games in a row, who knows but it could be exciting.

 

[Newbury Blade]

I’m in favour of signing him - but only if he agrees to “Morrison” and not “Ravel” on the back of his Blades shirt.

I see him more in the Fleck role tbh, taking the ball off the back 3 or Norwood and driving forward at pace.

Those stories will start to come out. The lad is special. If we can get his head right & get him pointing in the right direction, he'll be the best player that we've had since Currie, possibly Hagan. He's that good.

I can’t remember him though I must have seen him in the Youth Cup Final at The Lane? What’s his style and qualities? Proper football, I trust?

Proper football(er) indeed Pinchy.

When he played against us as a U18, in the youth cup final, he played in central midfield, in the attacking berth, ahead of Pogba.

His best spell in senior football, was with West Ham, where he played a slightly deeper role. He still had the freedom to break forward, but he was more of a box-to-box type at that point. Can't say I've seen too much of him since though.

As for his qualities, I'd say his first touch and dribbling are phenomenal and he's a great carrier of the ball. He's got a good passing range and seems to be a fairly intelligent footballer. Also has the physical strength and tenacity to be useful in the tackle (which allowed him to play that deeper role for West Ham)

Closest comparison to a current PL player, in my opinion, would be Naby Keita at Liverpool.

Good person to hang with at training. Hopefully Wright can give him some good advice before he departs.

I imagine that Wright is a fabulous mentor/example for other players - hopefully some of his professionalism will rub off on RM.

 

[Hagan's boot]

His trickery seems to be in the Sabella, Best style, but has added strength, and speed to his game. This lad could be a gold mine for us if he is fit enough, and has his head screwed on right. Chris will make the right choice after sussing him out, have no fear.

True. None of this first name, Billy big bollocks stuff while playing for United. Of course he could go upmarket and put Waitrose on the shirt.

He can stick 'Ravsta' 'Ravmo' or any bollocks he likes on the shirt if he guarantees 7-10 goals and 4 or 5 assists.

I believe he might be adopted/wasn't brought up by his mum and dad, so this might be the reason he prefers not to use his birth surname? Think Dele Ali is similar.

The report I saw said he was brought up on a rough estate in Manchester by his mother, who was a single parent.

 

[PokerBlade]

Let's be reasonable for a minute and remember that whoever we sign is going to have a question mark next to their name. It's going to be: untried at Premier League level, questionable age, off the field history, bad injury record. Tick one or more boxes.

Nobody seems to be doubting his talent. If he passes Wilder's character test then I'd be very excited to see him sign.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Could he play in a midfield of Norwood and Fleck, alongside Freeman in a four man midfield behind a lone striker

 

[Bladesman]

If Wilder can get a tune out of him then he could become a very very shrewd signing.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I'm going to guess that even if he impresses when it comes to signing and wages that he'll price himself out.

I doubt it. He’s been playing in Sweden and won’t have been on a PL style wage.

 

[Groucho Blade]

I see him more in the Fleck role tbh, taking the ball off the back 3 or Norwood and driving forward at pace.

If it all works out, he could play anywhere (everywhere) in our midfield.
And if it does work out, I hope he has Ravel on his shirt and a distinctive number that we can market worldwide. This year’s Ronaldo 7 could well be Ravel 20. Think on.

Worry is CW will tame the beast and then the BBB in him will want away to a “big club” and they’ll want him for nowt.

 

[BigBed]

Fuck the past, the futures bright in red and white boys and girls!!

 

[BushBlade]

Worry is CW will tame the beast and then the BBB in him will want away to a “big club” and they’ll want him for nowt.

The real worry is that he tries really hard to get a contract then starts being a dickhead once he has. But I’m sure CW is well aware of that possibility.

If he starts playing up he'll gerra reyt clip. We are Blades and he'll do as he's told.

 

[Blade for Sale]

We should offer Billy Whitehurst a few hundred quid a week to sit in a dark corner of the dressing room and growl menacingly at him.

Easily sorted. Just insert a dickhead clause in his contract.
