When you have a squad full of plonkers, i wouldn't have thought adding to it was a good idea. Generally I agree. However, he's absolutely brilliant at football. If he has matured and the rest of the world haven't noticed yet, he's way too good for this league. Of that I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 He's alright. Capable of wonder goals but also goes anonymous for long spells in games. I actually think that's an interesting side to him...everyone goes on about his behaviour and mentality which is fair enough but how good a footballer is he actually? Remember him and Pogba were equals in the Man United youth team and now they're worlds apart. Other problem I have is he's hardly played much in last year...played about 5 times for Lazio so he's from the Scott SInclair school of bench warming.

He was actually supposed to have been better than Pogba when they were in the youth side together, but as you say their careers have taken different paths.

Other problem I have is he's hardly played much in last year...played about 5 times for Lazio so he's from the Scott SInclair school of bench warming. I'm not sure I agree all that much with the first line. I've only ever seen him dominate games to be honest, though maybe I've only ever caught him on his good days. Quick, direct, strong, sublime technique. Fans of the clubs he has played for almost to a man adore him, so it's clear to me that his issues are mental. As in he is a bit mental. He and Pogba are of course worlds apart. Though Pogba himself was turfed out of United by Ferguson because his attitude stank. It still stinks to a degree, though he has managed to turn it around just enough to become the player he has. Overrated to an extent, but seriously good. Madrid good. I don't think it's fair to ask Morrisson to reach that level. But he COULD have matured for all we know and be itching to get on with his career. I'm not close enough to the player to make such a judgement, obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, watching Pogba become the most expensive player in the world at some point during the next few weeks might give the bloke the kick up the backside that it seems he needs.

useless Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 West Ham fans loved Morrison and were mad at Allardyce when he got rid. Looking on a sha forum the other day and they were rating him as their best player since Dugarry, if not better and were gutted at the prospect of him signing for us. Did well at QPR as well. Don't think he's been in trouble for a while now either at least not in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much this, loan deals right now probably won't be favourable the championship loan deadline is October I think (if FM taught me anything...) says Spurs can't sell bentaleb or Pritchard, or Madrid can't sell Isco...that's when you try and get a cheeky loan deal in, if they're not registered and effectively dead weight at a prem club then the ball is our court and we should be able to wrangle a better deal said many times I personally don't want any loan deal that hasn't got a buy out clause, Kyle walker still pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Looks like we're in for McNair....John Percy says there's interest and he broke most of our transfers last summer for the Telegraph so has good contacts at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
