Good to see him finally settle (hopefully) at a club.
Ravel Morrison | UAE 2nd Division player
- Thread starter saivet
- Start date
It's weird that people seem offensive if someone doesn't like him.
From all the info we got, and some of his short interviews and clips, social media behaviour and stuff like that, he doesn't seem like a nice and smart guy at all, so why all the love for him? He also doesn't care much about United even though the club stood by him for long while he continued to act like a cnut, so there isn't any connection with him that some United fans seem to have.
Saying that, I don't mind if people have a soft spot for him for whatevet the reason, just find it weird that some people feel almost offended when others don't share the same love for him.

Class that he’s matured somewhat and seemingly enjoying football again. He’ll tear league one apart next season as long as he stays focussed.
Rooney's leaving Derby, wonder where Ravel ends up next since he's out of contract.
He proved he could play at the Championship level

Was linked with a move to Preston apparently. Can see him staying at Derby, he's settled and gets gametime.
Not sure about that. Club might not even exist in a few weeks.
Linked up with Rooney in DC
He was playing for Rooney, and the new manager will have his own ideas and might not want Ravel. Or Ravel might not like the new manager
This is a good signing for Ravel, I think he respects Rooney so great all round.
Weird time to quote me given he's off to DC UnitedHe was playing for Rooney, and the new manager will have his own ideas and might not want Ravel. Or Ravel might not like the new manager
Wonder if he will struggle to get a visa given his criminal record.
I hope he gets it because Rooney really does seem to be helping him.

Great to see the connection between him and Rooney.
Given a few worse decisions, Rooney’s career could’ve gone the same way as Morrison’s. I reckon Rooney sees a bit of himself in Ravel.
Really hope it works out for both of them over there.

Whenever I see a Ravel Morrison thread getting bumped, I always assume it’s going to be someone who’ll say that we should purchase him and put him in our team
”We don’t need Frenkie, just get Ravel back because United DNA and vibes!”

Success is relative. For some, it's getting a Ballon d'Or. For others, it's making a career at some level of professional football. Ravel could have made it to the first list, but I'm happy at least he's done something rather than ending up in jail. United fans will always have fond memories of his potential.
There are definitely similarities. I reckon Rooney is not a control/discipline freak and probably told him to enjoy his life outside the pitch as long as we does well on it.
Maybe he goes lighter on him in training who knows. But it's working
Signed on a 1+1 year contract subject to visa being approved. Good move for him given Rooney is the manager as it seems he's someone that actually get him which is probably the most important thing for someone like him.
Hope he and Rooney do well.
Surely he’ll go down as the greatest example of mental application can be the difference between greatness and nothing. He could really have gone right to the top. When you hear of the likes of Pogba not even being close to him at the academy level, it’s a tragic story.
Well there seems to be nothing wrong with him at the moment and he's gone from championship to USA, I don't see PL interests in him?
He is not 40 year old, he should be in his best years fitness wise.
Wasted too many important years doing nothing really and stunted his long term development. He was probably a Championship level player at 16/17 and is now still a Championship level player.
He has played in the PL and played well when he played. He certainly is technically good enough to play in the PL even now. His problems have not been his football but outside issues.
Absolutely stunning goal today,

Huh. Didn't even know he moved to the MLS. Maybe a title update?
He's following his dad around! Rooney loves him.
Fair enough to be honest. He's probably the best quality player available on cheap that Rooney can take along wherever he goes.
Exactly.
Rooney knows him well, Ravel knows Rooney, it seems to work, haven't seen anyone get much out of Ravel bar Rooney.
Game recognises game. One free spirit knows how to handle another
Every time this thread gets bumped I really hope its good news. Lovely to see him doing so well, what a great goal. There will always be talk of what could have been but what his recent trajectory is given his past struggles is worthy of appreciation.
How has he been playing? At derby he was quiet with moments of brilliance if I recall correctly
This fecking guy
This fecking guy
Should have applied for his own given he has debilitating stupidity.
No, the title just points out he was always nailed on to dominate against Liverpool, Millwall, Aston Villa, Brentford, Swansea, Roma, CD Guadalajara, GIF Sundsvall, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Feyenoord, Nottingham Forest and not to forget New York Blue Balls.
He doesn’t play for them anymore.
Maybe contracted to them but I played with a lad the other day who plays Saturday/Sunday league with him in Manchester somewhere
Quality guy old Ravel.
looked a decent championship midfielder at Derby- what happened at dc for him to not even end up with a squad place this season (and this under his old derby boss) ?
