Hammers speak out on Ravel reports

|

ravel_2996341bRavel Morrison’s hopes that a return to the Irons may be on next January have hit a brick wall inside the club.

With Lazio ready to let the midfielder out on loan in the next transfer window after he has failed to nail down a regular frst team place, speculation has been rife that the player could make a Hammers return.

And he even hinted on Instagram in a post recently that it was a possibility in his usual enigmatic style.

A follower had said: “Actually so want @ravel1 to come back to us” and the player responded by declaring: “Future plans.”

Given that he had no need to respond at all, much has been read into it but a Hammers insider made it clear that no such possibility existed.

ClaretandHugh was told: “We’ve been there and done that – we have good creative midfielders and there’s no chance of us going back for Ravel – even on loan.

“We  have many good midfielders but are light in other areas and those are the ones will are likely to look at in January.”

    i would have him back for sure

    • Roman says:

      Yes bring him back.He has the X factor and maybe he has matured somewhat?

      • West Ham Fan No 32 says:

        He hasn’t matured Roman, he has made no attempt to learn the language, misses training and can’t even establish himself in the first team. He isn’t worth s gamble he is one of those players that turns it on when he wants too, not when he needs too. If there came a day when he thought he had thrown it all away and had one last chance then maybe we would see him work hard, there is though no indication he is even remotely close to that point, a real player would stick it out and dig in to succeed like an Antonio or although he is not anywhere near his best a Noble, Rav had his chance best thing for him is to steer clear of him and force him to address his laziness.

  • Tone not Tore says:

    I wouldnt.His talent is not to be questioned but he is waster of his talent.He has had enough chances,not just with us but elsewhere,he grasped not one of them.

  • indelec says:

    Bring him back, a waster? Would do more in 5 minutes than tore will do the whole season . Biggest problem we have no pace in any of our forwards, needs sorting

    • Alfie says:

      Tone said he is a waster of his talents,not a waster & you have to be pretty blind to not see that.

  • jimbo says:

    Ferguson is a pretty good judge of character and he let him go. Had a couple of good games for us but was inconsistent and again never tracked back. Went to QPR and Cardiff (I think) and same old, same old. Seems to have a real chip on his shoulder and like Tone and No32 say, he is prepared to throw away his talents by not putting the effort in. Probably the last thing we need currently!

    So most of you would not give him a second chance, who knows what was going on with him and SA, I am not saying he has issues but have our players come out and said they would not want him back, with SB I would give him a chance and if he played up then we send him back, but surely even he would know that time is running out for him and this would be his best chance to show what we are missing from a player like him, and as for having too many midfield players, the way our injuries continue I would say you have got to be joking me, I would love to see him play at our new stadium and at his best he and Dimi would be a force, so I say IN.
