claret and blues



Ravel Morrison – where is he?


I know this has been covered on Claret And Blues before and many questions were asked, but it really has to be asked again – Where is Ravel Morrison??

I have been caught up in all the current transfer nonsense and I really haven’t even given Morrison a thought. Until that is, a good friend of ours here tweeted me and asked me if I’d heard anything about him. The answer was a resounding NO. I just haven’t heard a thing!

Ravel has been with the Hammers now for 5 months, when he joined it was widely reported by those in charge that he would be making waves and would be making his debut soon. Soon came and went and Mr Morrison was nowhere to be seen.

I asked Mr Gold what had happened to him and if he was going to play next season, it was ignored. In contrast to that, Gold, Sullivan, Allardyce and even Brady have publicly announced that we would be signing and playing some ‘exciting players’ next season, but Morrison (as far as I can tell) has never been mentioned.

I, for one hope there is no underlying problem with Ravel and also hope we manage to field him soon. Surely, this has to be his season? No??

Gold has definitely commented on Morrison on Twitter, saying that he is hoping and expecting big things from him this season.

If he has a full summer to train properly then hopefully he will be ready for action and will effectively be a new signing for us. Fingers crossed he is as promising as some have suggested.

What does the writer of the article from claret and blues expect?
Does he think Gold and Sam should be 'tweetin' each time Ravel has a bowel movement?
Maybe it is better that they just say nothing and the lad knuckles down and works hard at trying to fulfill his potential.
