Ravel Morrison

Being lined up for season-long loan with option to buy at the end. Perhaps he doesn't know that Ole has left........

Always wanted to work with Russell Slade?

Yes, perhaps he thinks he's going to Orient, which is just down the road from the Hammers.....................

3 month loan deal signed according to Walesonline.

Yeah, just saw that. Anyone a bit non-plussed and baffled by this one?

I think this probably was in the pipeline before Ole left......ex Man Utd and all that!

A point has been made elsewhere that Tan must be getting advice on football matters from somewhere and, if not Dave Jones, then the spectre of Sam Hamman looms ominously in the background.

He needs to be handled carefully, but if you get him focused he is an outstanding talent - the creative midfielder the centre of the CCS is crying out for.

Could* be a masterclass if Slade is the excellent man manager that Gloves paints him as.

*not taking any responsibility if it's a car crash

EDIT: it's a done deal by the way - Ravel tweeted it himself. Where would we be without Twitter?

It rather looks like Glenn Roeder is influential and maybe the future DoF................

In the summer I would have said we should avoid him at all costs. However, we really have nothing to lose right now, and Morrison could offer us something we seriously lack - flair! As mentioned, he could be a massive hit or a complete flop... I'll put my neck on the line and say the former.
