Interesting interview with Ravel Morrison in Saturday's Times. Ravel has now ended up in Sweden at Ostersunds FK, having arrived there via Birmingham, Cardiff, QPR, Lazio and Atlas in Mexico. Oliver Kay writes that "a confidentiality agreement means that Morrison is restricted in what he can say about West Ham." Though Ravel does say that he enjoyed his time at WHU and that, "even Sam was good until we fell out". Morrison said he was offered a new contract and Mark Curtis, Allardyce and Kevin Nolan's agent, "tried to involve himself in the negotiations". Then he was offered a new contract for less money and declined it out of principle, and was loaned to QPR.
Whatever happened, he's very much a wasted talent having played in the same youth team as Pogba and Lingard. If anything he comes across as damaged by his upbringing, with problems with depression and even eating strange food. You do end up feeling rather sorry for him. He's had a lot of chances, let's hope he can finally make something of his career. And I guess we'll always have that goal at Spurs.

Indeed and what a sublime goal it was. I seem to remember Allardici played without a front line that night and confused the f*** out of a pre-Poch Spuds and their manager(?) Villa Boas. RM turned their defence inside out - I prayed he would settle and find consistency with us, alas it was not be.
I hope one of these days we'll find a gifted maverick that stays for longer than a season or two.
Yes, remember groaning at Allardici playing without a striker - yet somehow we managed to win 3-0!
