midds Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sometimes half the hassle is caused by the player not getting regular football and either losing interest or becoming disillusioned as a result. Keep him occupied with regular football and he might become less of a problem. Doesn't always work out like that obviously and this Morrison may just be a complete arsehole who's going to give all of his managers grief regardless of how he's treated but you never know. If the talent is there then it's worth a small gamble imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the talent is there then it's worth a small gamble imo. What makes you think he will get in the team here, to occupy him enough to be a good lad ? Fact is, he's a cunt. Witness intimidation, people like that don't change at his age. When there older maybe. but he's too young with what sounds like a terriblely bad attitude. The risk is way to great as the chances of us getting anything from him are zip. If fergie and the players around him, cannot tell this kid what he's pissing away. What the hell makes you think we could. If where looking to spend a million on a prospect, why not pick up a less talented player and coach him to be better.

midds Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think he'd get more games for us than for them. Never claimed he'd be starting every game but he'd find it easier to break into our XI than Man Utd's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you're his age and you're being told you are one of, if not the most gifted talents to come through Manchester United's academy, you're going to get frustrated at a lack of first team opportunities. Even in cup games etc, you'd want to be on from the start playing the full 90. He's had no loan deal either, which is a bit weird given how often they like to get players out in the football league. So with that in mind I can see why he might be frustrated and considering a move to another club, if he doesn't doubt his own talent he probably thinks he'll make it to the top, be that via a stepping stone club (like ourselves) or by going through their books. I'm not excusing his arsehole behaviour, far from it. He's got issues with professionalism, to the point where he's more famous for off field antics than match highlights. So with that in mind I'd still be cautious about signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 worth a go imho, small fee small risk and if he is as good as is being claimed (can't judge hardly seen him) then it would be a hell of a bargain worthy of a thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 All for it. No chance of 'squad disruption' and obviously a big incentive to the board if we can make some big cash in 2/3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's not better than Obertan, Guthrie, Gosling, Lovenkrands and Sammy Ameobi - all of whom have appeared in our midfield this season so far? If he's not more talented and likely to get past that lot in the pecking order then we're wasting our fucking time. 'Better stocked'. Fuck me.

Cronky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The problem with a talented but ill-disciplined young player is that they often get given second chances which would be denied a lesser player, simply because their club is reluctant to let them go and see them flourish elsewhere. If Morrison gets a decent contract with us after jerking Man U around, he may get the message that he doesn't need to knuckle down because there'll always be someone who wants him. I fear that, with Ranger, any chance of an improvement went when we gave him that long-term contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogbeak Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ah. point taken. put it another way to deflect attention from a foolish post - i think it's telling that they'd rather have a 37 year-old scholes come back, than give a chance to a guy who is supposedly the next big hot shit.

Smal Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 He's not better than Guthrie is currently. But he doesn't play in the same position at all, so that doesn't even matter Certainly wouldn't be worse on the right than Obertan though. Might as well get him in, I think. Even if he is part of a gang Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Surprised they haven't played Pogba more. Saw him in one of their games, and he definitely looked talented. With all of their injuries in central midfield you would have thought he'd have got a chance. Must be so frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Morrison is supposed to be incredibly talented, just a complete asshat. Might be worth a punt, I wouldn't be bothered if we didn't sign him though as he could be a total dud if he continues to think he's a gangster.

Dave Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If he's as talented as people on here are intimating, that only makes me even more wary if Manchester United and Fergie are going to let him go. Lost cause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Getting out of Manchester MAY help like. Fuck knows, he's only 18 though, hopefully he'll grow up within the next couple of years and not just continue on like a spoilt little gay into his 20s (i.e Ranger).
