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. That isn't Ravel at all. He rarely goes anonymous in games and is what completely set him apart from Pogba at United making them not equals. He was easily better. Pogba was capable of the magic but went missing while Ravel was capable of the magic while also completely controlling and dominating matches. As for the McNair links, are they for a loan or permanent? Edited August 2, 2016 by tommybread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such an enigma, born in the wrong era perhaps. 30 years ago his off the field stuff would have passed by relatively unnoticed. Irrelevant I know!

Anyone who ever watched him at youth level could praise him all day long, he was simply sublime. It may seem like I'm waxing lyrical but he is the best youth player I and many others have ever seen, and by quite some distance. Ferdinand has even talked about how the likes of Pogba and Adnan Januzaj used to look up to Ravel. You may be right on the wrong era. He could fit right in with the likes of George Best.

AValon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 All geniuses are flawed. Now, thats not saying Morrisson is anything like a genius, but compared to what we're used to, he might be like the 'second coming'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
