This return just isn’t going to happen

News that Ravel Morrison is set to leave Lazio for “personal reasons” has again started the same old ‘will he won’t he” rumours circulating.

But many of those on social media crying out for him to come back to West Ham are missing one very serious point.

If he couldn’t make it into  West Ham team without the likes of Payet and Lanzini around, how would he ever expect to get into one with them.

“Personal reasons ” can of course cover a multitude of issues but if we are entirely honest  “personal reasons have too often been the problem in Ravel’s life.

Incredibly, many, failing to see the multitude of problems and increasingly heavy baggage the player brings have been screaming for him to return.

But a source told us: “It’s such an old chestnut and it’s just not going to happen. Simple. With everybody fit and firing can anyone really see a place for Ravel in the set-up anyway. We wish him well but we have been there and done that.”
