Diehard Liverpool fan. Morrison is easily the best player at youth level I’ve ever seen. Joe Cole was mental before his fifa street flair was coached out of him but Morrison was sublime. He did stuff players don’t even dare to dream of doing. First team players went to watch their games in numbers, to see him play. Just think about that for a moment.

They didn't want to spend the money. TLC, comfortable surroundings and stability etc is all he needed. They do it with the foreign talent - throw enough money at the problem, surround him with good people, keep him away from the night life, the problems soon dissipate. What they did was mask the symptoms and make the problem worse in the end with false hope. Ferguson obviously has some guilt about the situation.

As far as I know every single club he went to provided him with stability and only signed him after he promised to sort himself out.

@rickenfatania Жыл бұрын
@@OffThePostYT I agree, Ravel Morrison/ Pogba/ Scholes has more legs than any midfield in EPL history. After he was sold, Pogba was in his prime as an explosive box-to-box/ centre-mid - as was Vidal (who wasn't as good as a young Ravel imo). Scholes was also playing deeper as his career went on. Against Barca he scored the winner that got us to the final in Moscow. We wouldn't have lost two CL finals in (the next) three seasons if we had that trio. Ronaldo might have stayed at least until Ferguson retired - he'd have 3 or 4 Champions Leagues Winners Medals. Plus if United hadn't sold Pique, they could have played him with Ferdinand and Vidic in a back three (like the Juventus system Pogba and Evra played in). Hargreaves, Carrick or Fletcher can help Scholes anchor the midfield. THEN you've got Rooney/Tevez/Ronaldo/Giggs/ Park and Berbatov in the attacking rotation. It would have been absolutely frightening for any defense - Busquets, Abidal, Alves and Xavi wouldn't have coped! Tiki-Taka would have simply capitulated with a counter-attack at that speed. They can play possesion all they want - on stray sideways pass and they concede. The players United had spare, sold or injured in that era were ridiculous (especially compared to now). If G.Nev wasn't injured, he'd be a regular starter. Ronaldo's 38 and was our top scorer last season. We never replaced his goals (both times he left). We had to pay a world record fee to get Pogback - only to loose him again - on a free - to Juventus. Johnny Evans was also deemed surplus to requirements back then. Now in his mid 30s, having re-signed as a free agent because LEICESTER released him, he's our best CB 😑 Never mind beating Barca, we're not even playing Barca anytime soon and they're in the Europa League half the time!

So obvious that he has ADHD, didn’t know he was diagnosed whilst at United though. Fucked up that he couldn’t take his meds because of anti doping as it clearly had a massive impact on his behaviour.

Incredible waste of a rare talent. He’s clearly gifted beyond the normal.

I'm sure I'm not alone in having no sympathy for him at all . The ADHD excuse is just that an excuse . He just didn't have it mentally to do the things needed to become the very best unfortunately but that's on him MC D's at 3 AM over the balon dor awards I guess. I wonder if he still has the same set of mates !

When hardly bothering to show up at the training ground, and even if he eventually did, he would head home with his team-mates shoes in the bag, Well enuff said then.

As bad as Ravel's conduct was at WHU,. Alardyce's was reprehensible; offering a contract only on condition that Ravel dump his own agent and sign with Fathead Sam's - for which the latter would undoubtedly received payment - was disgusting and immoral, if not illegal. Nonetheless, Ravel destroyed his own career.

Fool to himself...pissed his talent away. So frustrating for those trying to help him.

What's with these talented footballers with daddy issues abusing girls and women in their lives. You don't need a dad to be a good person - You just make a choice.

sounds like his “friends” from manchester was a massive part of his downfall. obviously ravel’s fault as well but how are you continually going and distracting your mate from his football career, should’ve been supporting him instead.

mate ravel is the one who chooses his mates, its not like your mates is something forced upon you have no choice over. If someone's friends are all bad and shady character that usually means they will be themselves. Peoples friends are nearly always a relfection of themselves, bad people are friends with bad people, good people are friends with good people.
