AND HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR US

Thu Jan 29, 2015 11:13 am

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison signed a four-year contract with Lazio yesterday after passing a medical, according to Il Messaggero. 

The 21-year-old, who has not played for the Hammers since his return from a loan stint at Cardiff last month, arrived in Rome yesterday to finalise his move.



He underwent a regular medical before going to Lazio’s Formello training ground, where he penned a four-year deal with the club and met some of his future team-mates.

The former Manchester United midfielder will earn a salary of around €750,000 per season at Lazio and if can reach an agreement with West Ham to terminate his contract at Upton Park, he could train with the Roman club for the rest of the season. 
 


The 21-year-old made just one league appearance for West Ham this term and made seven appearances in the second tier of English football with Cardiff.

Morrison won the FA Youth Cup at Manchester United alongside Paul Pogba in 2011 and has a total of 17 Premier League appearances to name.

So if he's a good player but harmful to the squad harmony etc cardiff should still have kept him?

Cardiff fans really are clueless sometimes.

he's hardly an angel, if you look at his track record:

In early 2011, he received a 12-month referral order and was ordered to pay £1,445 in costs and compensation after admitting two counts of witness intimidation.[51][52] After an assault charge was dropped when Morrison's girlfriend refused to testify, he was convicted of criminal damage for throwing her mobile phone out of a window and advised to undergo domestic violence counselling.[53] In February 2012, Morrison was involved in controversy after posting a homophobic threat on Twitter.[54] He was charged under FA rule E3, which governs use of abusive and/or insulting words including reference to a person's sexual orientation, and accepted his guilt.[55] He was fined £7,000.[56]



its not that he isn't good enough, he clearly is, but its his character and attitude thats stopping clubs signing him.

There wasn't anything said in contrary either. The point is a player is judged more than just his ability at a football club. He wasn't binned by us for not being good enough, there were other reasons.

Probably just Slade not knowing how to use him and knowing we couldnt afford to keep him.

Slade generally kept him in and around the squad, maybe he was a problem but maybe he wasnt, I have no reason to believe he was anymore of a problem than others.

I see, so you are just going to make assumptions instead.

Well seeing us, us, qpr, West Ham, United and no other club in the Premiership has taken a chance on him it's fair to say that it's not his ability letting him down, but maybe his attitude.

Did I come up with the best example? probably not, but I did put if in the initial post to show the point of the post was about other attributes than his ability. People seem to think those at Cardiff didn't think he was good enough ability wise, when that almost certainly wasn't the case.

Another example of the clown we have in charge, one of the only players we had who could go past players with ease and in Slade eyes was not good enough
