Darron Gibson has agreed a four and a half year deal with Everton today. His contract was due to expire in the summer and the club were not interested in offering him a new deal.
Gibson had been desperate to make a go of his Manchester United career and has waited until he is 24-years-old to make the move on after failing to hold down a regular place in the team. Last March he anticipated he would open talks on a new contract but these talks never happened. Instead, United accepted a bid from Sunderland for the midfielder, but the deal fell through.
The high points of his United career were probably the goals he scored in the Champions League, getting one against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals in 2010 and another against Schalke in the semi-final of 2011.
Gibson was generally an unpopular member of the squad due to his lack of ability. Whilst he showed he had a great shot on him, he was far too inconsistent with this and his all round game was not to the standards United should expect.
Reports in the press suggest that Gibson has gone for £2m, which is a pretty good deal for United when you consider he had just a few months remaining on his contract. He will wear the number ’4′ shirt at Everton.
Good luck, Darron. No doubt you’ll score a screamer against us one day though.

Most have wished the lad well already. Can I be greedy and ask for them ‘View from the enemy’ posts again? Used to love em
I’ll always remember his crackers against Hull and Tottenham. Not good enough for United, but he can still do well somewhere else. Good luck to him.
1st
good luck gibbo
Good luck Darron ! Hope you get the chance at Everton to show everyone how good a midfielder you really are! Just please don’t score no 30 yard screamers against us ! All the best !
Fab professional. Wish him luck for club and country.
It’s better for him! Anyway I’ll never forget his goal against Bayern Munich at OT. A coincidence? We didn’t manage to win that game and he subsequently didn’t manage his United career.
Good Luck Darron Gibson! Be happy son!
Thanks for all your hard work at United, and for always putting the Shirt first.
You handled the atrocious behaviour of our plastic fans with humility and respect.
You are now a man. Go forth and make your mark on Football.
hes a good player and gave his all for united, so I was always proud to have him at our club. thanks for everything gibbo and best of luck to ya
So sad that the goal against Bayern came to nothing when we piddled that second leg away. Still one of the most devastating matches of the last decade IMO.
I have a feeling he will come to be very important for Everton.
Best of luck Darron.
Gibbo will do well at everton. Lesser pressure, lesser expectations compared to donning the united shirt and trying to be a pass master.
Hope he does well (not against united though), moyes is a proven good manager. just like sunderland, Everton are gradually turning into another colony of united now (tim howard, saha, phil neville and gibson).
Thanks cedars, great Minds are alike and all that lol.
Everton Stealth United 2????!!
A good buy for Everton and i hope a good move for Darron .This at least will keep him sight of the ROI team .Best of luck to him .
half a mil we got for him. rest is sposed to be add ons.
Well now we wont get to hear the Gibson bashing anymore
David bastard Silva set to be fit for City’s next match. When are they going to have one proper injury to think about, let alone 10 proper injuries to think about like we’ve had?
Good luck Gibbo, I always thought the criticism was ott but like smartalex said, he handled it all with great dignity and didn’t lash out.
The twitter incident was a real low point for me as a fan as no player of ours should be getting stick like that. But he goes with my blessing and hope he scores a screamer against the bitters very soon.
Gary Neville on Scholes making himself available until the end of the season:
“He missed football and he wanted to carry on. According to me Scholes should still be playing football and playing for a good two years. I think it’s a great boost for Manchester United that he comes back and plays at this time when the team has suffered so badly with injuries. We have seen so many players playing out of position in the midfield. He wanted to come back and play football irrespective of the problems that Manchester United have had”
On the January window: “People get fascinated with the January window but it’s never been a success for Manchester United or any other club. Chelsea last year signed David Luiz and Fernando Torres for 75 million. You play inflated prices. When a player signs at the start of the season in June, he has three months to get used to. He signs in January and he has February, March and April to settle and the season ends in May. So you don’t get any benefits. I don’t see the benefits of signing a player in January. So Scholes coming back in and hitting the ground running is beneficial for the club.”
On the EPL: “I think we will see what happens in the next few weeks. It’s a huge few weeks for Manchester United. They play Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur all in the next six weeks. If they can stay in touch with Manchester City at the start of March, I think they will be ok. It’s still very, very early in the season. There’s a lot to play for yet.”
On Sir Alex: “He always believes in young people and gives them the opportunities. With Sir Alex Ferguson he changes the team every two years. He moves the team along by introducing new players. He never lets the team grow old together. I don’t see him finishing… He’s not changed his mentality in the last five-10 years. He’s the same man. And he’s building a new young team. So with the challenge that Manchester City is giving I don’t see him retiring.”

Cor blimey. I didn’t realise that. Squeaky bum time already?
“His agent has been working hard to get him another club. We’ve offered him terms which he has refused” SAF on Ravel Morrison
what’s this shit that talents want money for doing fuck all?!
@zelh
Fucking hell, that doesn’t sound good, does it?
Fucking agents. Fuck ‘em all.
ex TOAT on manutd .com:
Here are the main points from Sir Alex’s press conference. (GT)
On injuries:
“We’ve got one or two doubts for tomorrOW – Smalling and Jones got knocks in the derby [last Sunday]. We’ll see what they’re like tomorrow. Anderson got aknock in training but hopefully be okay. In the main I think we’ve got a reasonable squad for tomorrow.
On facing Bolton:
“Any time you play a team that’s down at the bottom, as we experienced against Blackburn, you have to address it properly. We need a good performamnce against a team that will be battling for everything tomorrow
On the final points total to win the league:
“At the rate it’s going the points total could be in the high 80s
On the situation with Ravel Morrison:
“His agent has been working hard to get him another club. We’ve offered him terms which he has refused. We’ve rejected an offer from Newcastle. We’ll see how that progresses. His demands are unrealistic as far as we’re concerned.
On Darron Gibson’s departure to Everton:
“It’s a good move for him. He has to get on with his career. He has terrific ability but in terms of the pecking order here he knew he wouldn’t be a first team regular all the time. He missed the opportunity to go to Sunderland [in the summer] and I think he regretted that. He’s taken the opportnity to go to Everton and I think they need a player like him.”
kanchelskis – their squeaky bums will be playing ‘The Last Post’ soon enough!
Good luck lad…a few screamers against Chelsea, City and Poolscum would be lovely
On Ravel Morrison:
His agent has been working hard to get him another club – does this mean Fergie thinks he is behind the contract problems?
Looks like that might be Morrison out the door then, scum bag agents at it as usual. When will a player realise they don’t give a toss about them? They just want the money that comes with engineering moves for them.
Good luck to Gibson, but I reckon we should have held onto him until summer. With our injury problems this season it didn’t hurt to have him as an option.
Of course his agent is.
But I think Ravel would still try to demand more. But for what?! He did FUCK ALL in his carreer.
You’ll do as well at Everton as Phil has best of luck to you Darren.
Morrison is taking the piss honestly. If He wants to leave let him go, i’ve said that guy is more interested in materialistic crap than actually being a star at united. If he thinks he’ll hold the club to a ransom despite not doing fuck all then he’s barking up to wrong tree.
Pathetic twat. after all united have done for him, he’s probably demanding an astronomical salary. You’re lucky Fergie is patient man or he’ll be sending you packing, if you don’t change your ways then you inevitably will waste your potential.
This agents really are like viruses, they’re everywhere trying to disrupt good things. Never understood why a player needed a foolish agent to make choices for him, fucking ridiculous.
Bloody agents. FA should give them a ban.
Dont know what to say about this one really. Usually the other side has something to gain, but apparently Darron is near 40k a week, which considering what he offers, isnt value for Everton at all.
Nice to see people wishing Darren Gibson good luck with his move.
Where his career will go I don’t know, however I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he got a bit of confidence to go on and become a 15 goal a season central midfielder!
I do hope however he does score a screamer against us someday just for the small section of our fans who gave him Major Grief!
looks like ravel wants out, ah well. good luck to him. obviously this isn’t about money. hope its sorted quickly
Morrison contract talks stall
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that United have reached an impasse in contract negotiations with Ravel Morrison.
The highly-rated 18-year-old has this week been linked with a transfer to Newcastle United, among other clubs, and the boss admitted that United have rejected an offer from the Tynesiders.
“His (Ravel’s) agent has been working hard to get him another club,” Sir Alex told his pre-Bolton press conference.
“We’ve offered him terms which he has refused. His demands are unrealistic as far as we’re concerned.
“We’ve rejected an offer from Newcastle. It’s all down to how that progresses.”
Morrison has made three substitute appearances for the Reds, including cameos against Aldershot and Crystal Palace in this season’s Carling Cup.
What does that prick think he is.
Did fuck all in his carreer and having ridiculous demands.
If the fucker wants out let him go.
greedy cunt.
GOOD LUCK GIBBO
Reading SAF comments re agent and Morrison,may be the short sharp shock both agent and Morrison need.Who knows and who cares he’s done nothing to date and may never do nothing full stop.
His agent probably told him to cash in on the hype surrounding him at the moment. He has done nothing yet and players like him who never appreciate what they have always end up learning the truly harsh lessons of life.
Fergie is renowned for turning potential into gold, if you’re good enough then he’ll instill the belief that you can be the best il you, just look at the work he did with ronaldo and many more.
Players like morrison who refuse to knuckle down and put in the shift to improve regardless of their talents always come up short. You’d think as a player from our youth system he’d love to play regardless of his salary but i guess not all can be giggs or scholes.
Danny welbeck is a current example. at times, odds were against him making the grade but he went on loan, worked hard combined with his talents have now made him a sure starter, why can’t morrison learn from people like that?
“If anyone needs to know what to get me for Christmas in 2030 it’s a book called “Ravel Morrison: My Regrets”"
found that on twitter.
That’s it then. Taxi for Mr. Morrison. Given his temperament, and his age, I have to say, “I will watch his future career with considerable interest”.
best wishes for gibson,ravel and paul story must come to end,hope fergie let them go to city,no way one of theme could get in the first team,if a18year old boy who never played 1 game in high level demand 50per weeek isabsolute joke,lthere are plenty of young talent in the market no regrets if both 2 leave our club,in additions fergie dont trust in theme anywaye,a36old player retired and almost 8 month without competision are ahead of theme it tell you evrything
Slim – if it isn’t about money, then what is it about? tell me why a player that has only made cameo appearances be demanding anything at this stage of his career?
Darron Gibson said: “I’m not going to lie, I was very frustrated at Manchester United. It was hard for me at times because I think, when I did get the chance, I did well and then was getting left out again afterwards. Playing one or two games here and there is very frustrating.
“When Scholsey came back in the manager told me that I was free to go. There was a bit of interest from Everton about a month back, I knew the gaffer here wanted me in, so things have just gone from there.”
“I was speaking to Wazza quite a bit about it and after talking with him and coming to see the facilities here it was an easy decision for me. He told me it was a great club and that he really enjoyed his time here and also that he enjoyed working with the people, and that the players were great too. So having a word with him and with other people like Phil Neville and Tim Cahill convinced me that this move was right.”
Moyes said: “We’re getting a young player, someone who can pass it and who can score. He’s someone who I hope and think is hungry to establish himself. We will try to put pressure on him to become a goalscoring midfielder with his shot. But also with his delivery, he can help us hopefully from set pieces. I think Darron Gibson is a really good player, there’s probably half a dozen teams in the Premier League who would like to have him.”

Half-time at Carrington: United Reserves 1 Stockport County 0. Diouf’s early goal is still the difference between the sides in this Manchester Senior Cup tie. United Reserves’ line-up is as follows: Amos, Vermijl, Fryers, Fornasier, Thorpe, Brown, Cole, Norwood, Diouf, Petrucci, Lingard. Subs: Coll, Massacci, M. Keane, Rafael, McGinty, Giverin.
He thinks he’s some kinda superstar or something huh? Unfuckingbelievable. I mean somebody remind him that his first name is Ravel, not Jim…
Well it looks like Morrsion is off quote from Fergie:
“His agent has been working hard to get him another club.”We’ve offered him terms which he has refused. We’ve rejected an offer from Newcastle. We’ll see how that progresses.
“His demands are unrealistic as far as we’re concerned.”
Can’t blame Ravel and Paul for wanting to leave seeing as they’ve had such limited opportunities at United. When Paul Scholes comes back from retirement and is ahead of you in the pecking order you know you have no chance. If thse players turn out to be half decent I will blame Fergie for not giving them enough game time. These boys should’ve played in the Carling Cup but our squad is so bloated full of shit he had to use those matches to give players like Park and Owen a game. Would’ve been much better off using players like Ravel and Paul that would’ve actually had something to gain out of exposure to first-team football. Surely Fergie realised that himself given the following quote he gave in an interview not a couple of months ago:
“If we hold Paul Pogba back, what’s going to happen? He’s going to leave in a couple of years’ time when his contract is finished. We have to give him opportunities to see how he can do in the first team. He’s got the ability, the physique and the athleticism.”
I suppose the other side of the coin is that actually these two players aren’t what they are made out to be and that’s why Fergie has felt the need to bring Scholes back. In that case you have to question why Fergie said at the start of the season that he felt the players we had in the youth squad meant it wasn’t necessary to purchase a central midfielder.
Cheerio Ravel. Give me a decent player with a great attitude and work ethic over a potential talent with a bad attitude.
Sad day. One midfielder leaves and another one is rumored to be on the outs. But in light of Fergie’s comments about MOrrison today, I really wish we kept Gibson on. Just to show what this club is really about.
Good luck Darron. Hopefully you’ll show your worth elsewhere and the fans will appreciate you more.
Good luck Ravel. Hope you’ll be as relevant to football as Gibson is when you are 24. I doubt it though.
Ravel Morrison ent getting away with it that easily.
Too many times we are happy to blame the Agents when it is the Players they are representing who are just as culpable. If his demands are unrealistic as SAF says then we have no choice but to let him go. He is free to talk to other clubs when he reaches the last year of his contract.
No Rio and his Tweet makes sense. I swear kids are getting dumber and dumber by the generation. Prove your worth to United and the money will come.
On another note the combined fee for Tiote, Cabaye, and Ba was nearly the same as the fee we paid for Bebe. No value in the market? Hmmm…!
Well done Ravel, looks like you blew it. Ungrateful runt. He should be happy to play for a couple of grand a week at his age and experience. It’s disgusting that he’s trying to hold the club to ransom
This could be it for him as a footballer, theres no way he can be sure of receiving the same kind of patience and guidance he has at United, he’s an embarrassment to himself and the club and should be cast in to realms of history immediately in my opinion
How selfish can you be? Look at the current situation at the club with injuries and such and this prick is demanding a bumper deal? For what? He’s spent more time in court than he has for the first team
He is the epitome of all that is wrong not only with modern footballers but youth in general. WANT WANT WANT, well go ind what your looking for somewhere else
Good luck with that pal, you’ll need it
Fergie knows best. Morrison sounds like a prick, demanding money for doing nowt. If he was that good he wuda had a new contract by now and more starts. Same for Pogba. If the little boys think they r that gud, fuk off to city, their mentality will suit them.
I thought Gibson was starting to show some signs of why SAF believed in him, but it was too little too late I guess. Believe he’ll be alright at Everton, I actually think he’s at least on an equal footing with the other midfielders they have. As long as he doesn’t think himself a United product and start putting on airs (as was purportedly what happened at Wolves).
As for Ravel, if he doesn’t have the balls to tell his agent to piss off, or can’t see the intangible benefits of staying at United, then good luck to him. Just too bad if he wishes to lead his life like that. Wouldn’t be surprised to read something like “Ex-United starlet arrested for assault/robbery/theft” in the future, if he doesn’t snap out of it. He probably doesn’t care anyway.
Sam – Absolutely bullshit. They have no chance cause Scholes is back? Are you kidding me? If Fergie thought they would be good enough they had played long before. And did anyone of them impress against the likes of crystal palace? No? Ah so then they should play against PL-teams after struggling against a second division team.
Great idea.
This shit is all about their agents and money. Not about them wanting out. The hype has got into their heads.
Ravel Morrison#greedycunt. Get that trending on twitter!!! He’s believed his own hype done fuck all in his career and wants “unrealistic terms” translated meaning more dollar bill! He’s pissed me off, he probably will go on to achieve great things but I don’t see how Geordieland famous for the dentist chair will be any different than Manchester in terms of keeping him on the straight and narrow. What a waste of club resources, trained him, had to get the legal team involved for matters other than contracts and this is what happens. He holds the club ransom because he has talent. When has that happened before?
Good luck Gibbo. Maybe you will get more support at Everton, than you got at United.
On Ravel? If he looking for silly money, then he can go. Maybe young players shouldn’t have agents until a certain age. They don’t seem to be looking out for their clients best interests. Furthermore, if two young players like Morrison and Pogba are wanting moves away from a club like United, it doesn’t bode well for other clubs in England. Rooney left Everton, but only to make a step up in his career. It all smacks of greed. We know where greed can lead too. In Ravel’s case, we know only too well.
He didn’t say anything about Pogba, did he? I hope that one stays, he doesnt seem to be quite so bigheaded as morrison…

Good luck Gibbo,think Everton and Moyes will be good for him,never got enough games at Utd to deveolp,i’ll be interested to see what kind of player he becomes.
Jeet – Nothing said on that matter and won’t be. He said we have option to extend his contract but want to tie him down to a new one.
Feel bad for Gibson. Always felt he was a whipping boy who never got a fair run of games to establish himself. The fact that he decided to hang on long enough shows how much he wanted to try to make it with us. Wish him all the best.
As for Ravel the self important fuckdouchetard, he can go become a professional merc like Robbie Keane. Not needed. Not wanted. No one is bigger than the club. End of.
How on earth is the return of scholes a detriment to their careers? please explain because i’m baffled.
Paul is an experienced class act albeit slower these days and not making impacts on matches like he used to, i think Fergie brought him back in to give experience in a topsy turvy season so far, united have ridiculous amount of injuries piling up in midfield (and also at the back) so his return is welcome even though it may look a desperate move.
If these young players were as good as they think they are then they would get to training, impress the manager and take over the mantle. As if a 36 year old paul scholes can stop them doing this, paul will barely play games anyway.
Ridiculous excuse for a spoilt twat that is morrison. He wants the red carpet rolled out for him when he doesn’t deserve to walk on the sahara desert just yet, the hype has gone to his head and if you add the foolish agent then that spells trouble.
I think paul pogba will stay, i don’t think he’s as arrogant as that idiot morrison, only time will tell of course but hopefully he’ll sign his new deal, use scholes to learn the art of playmaking and then take over.
Stop making excuses for morrison.
@zelh They came on towards the end of the Palace game to play in a horribly disjointed 11 that looked like they had never played together in their lives and against a team that was scrapping for everything. Hardly the ideal game to make your debut in, though I actually thought Ravel looked half decent when he got on the ball (though I didn’t think Pogba did anything to justify the hype around him).
And Fergie clearly did think they were good enough, because he said he didn’t want to sign a central midfielder because it would hinder their development.
He had to move if he wants to make sure of getting to the European Championships – if he can impress between now and May he’ll definitely be there. Tappatoni told him before to leave United for regular football or face limited opportunities with the national team and he hasn’t figured much. In fairness he didn’t leave of his own accord as with United not offering him a contract he’s been forced to move on but it’s a premiership club with a decent manager and 40k a week ain’t bad. He won’t even have to move house.
Just a question for the sake of debate:
Do you think all this contract nonsense stuff with Ravel has roots with the Rooney saga? Maybe, he thinks he can get away with more money like Rooney did? And in that sense, if he does get an improved offer, it will set a very dangerous precedent.
I think Sir Alex would be hating the greed in youngsters now. Gone are the days when 18 year olds played because of passion for the game, and loyalty to the club. Its all about the money now. I wonder if things like these might someday get to him and make him say, enough is enough. I certainly hope not.
Fucking agents. What complete scumbags.
If Morrison thinks he’s entittled to more money, either at United or elsewhere, it’s because his agent has convinced him of that. What the fuck is an 18-year-old doing with an agent anyway? It’s a perverse situation, and I hope when Morrison ends up with a wasted career and a load of regrets (let’s face it, if Fergie can’t rein him in, who can?), he realises that some money-grabbing scumbag has fucked him over.
I’d love to hear Sir Giles Oakley’s views on this…
Has this ever happened in United’s past, where an upcoming talented youth teamer has been let go for unrealistic contractual demands…? I mean at a club like United for God’s sake…what has the world come to..
This is the problem with all this russian and arab money coming in, it makes people lose their heads…someone knock some sense into this little twunt’s head for fuck’s sake.
I have no doubt both Pogba and Ravel might end up at Chelsea or City…
Especially in Ravel’s case, he might just end up at city being a mancunian…fucking disgusting attitude for someone who the club has supported and guided through thick and thin…bloody disgusted

Another point I would like to add about Morrison – despite the lads reputation we should be careful before automatically assuming this is about money. Fergie’s exact quote was:
“His demands are unrealistic as far as we’re concerned”
That could just as easily refer to him demanding to be involved in more first team games, which wouldn’t be unreasonable in my opinion
Name an 18 year old who will make a difference in the United central midfield. Without a doubt Morrison and Pogba have talent, but as we’ve all seen before, you need to be trusted by SAF in order to have a proper chance at claiming a regular spot in the squad. Phil Jones is only a year or two older than these two, yet we’ve seen him struggle at times this year usually playing from the back. But at least Jones has his first team time from Blackburn and England.
When Pogba and Morrison’s talent isn’t working hard on the pitch, ask yourself…will they work hard for the team yet still have the knack needed to make a difference when the moment comes?
Ravel Morrison = New Stan Collymore.
https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%40RavelMorrison49
And of course, he now becomes subject to a stream of abuse on Twitter from a load of complete muppets. Do they REALLY think that’s going to help, trying to bully and intimidate him into signing a contract?
Fucking brainless tools.
who the hell does Morrison think he is! out the gap son bye bye to you and your scumbag agent!
^^ I don’t condone the abuse he might be getting now but he made a rod or his own back. Suck it in Ravel
He’s ready yet for the first team. From what I’ve seen, anyway. Also, maybe if he wasn’t dicking around in his personal life, there would’ve been more chances. If his attitudes not right, I don’t give a fuck how talented he is. Or, he thinks he is. In terms of picking players, I’ll always defer to SAF. Sure, I can have an opinion on it, but the boss is the expert on these matters. Though, listening to some on here, you would think the opposites, the case.
Best of luck to Darron on his move- just wasnt quite good enough. Hopefully his game improves at everton and he can be of good value to Ireland in the summer.
as for Ravel- who the fuck does he think he is?? cheeky cunt. he hasnt done anything yet. all he needs to do is look at Danny welbeck who’s attitude and application has been first class and now he’s being rewarded with a chance at united- the side he supports.
Apparently Ravel is a United fan too?? bollocks he is if he’s refusing to sign a new contract.
I’m sure he was offered a wage any of us could only dream of and as United fans we’d happily play for fuck all!!! greedy little fucker can get to fuck if he’s not willing to knuckle down and prove himself before demanding mega bucks off us!!
The likes of larnell cole, tunnicliffe, petrucci, lingard will probably make it as united stars ahead of hyped up masters pogba and morrison simply because they’ve all knuckled down and are working hard combined with their talents. Football can be a funny game.
Morrison wants to be the fella who can say he turned down Man Utd. He’ll be telling his scumbag mates – ‘oh Utd we’re begging me to stay’ – but he’s too fucking cool with an ego so fucking big that he thinks he wants to leave.
It’s been said many times – after Utd the only way is down and ravel you dipshit you are too young to be taking that route but no-one here is begging you – they’re not even wishing you well kid.
*not ready yet*
Getting better at these typos.
The Pogba/Morrison situations are also a bad omen about this latest policy we’ve adapted. To negotiate with players once they are in the final year of their contract. The only thing we’ve managed to accomplish by this, is have players hold out for more money. Or for terms that suit them best. These two youngsters could have been tied down a year ago if we cared to negotiate at the time.
@ Sam – I see where you’re coming from regarding Scholes and how the kids may view it. Said something similar before the cit-eh game. I’m sure some of the kids get this praise from the coaching staff and also living in Manchester and being on a good wage (although not superstar level) hear stuff about how our centre midfield is shit (which at times it has been). They think to themselves we can sort that but aren’t given the opportunity. They won’t understand why because they are young and mentally immature. Then they see Scholes brought back and as good as he was/is think to themselves thats another year of my footballing career wasted. Having said that, they are at Manchester United and Morrison is supposed to be a Manchester United supporter, he should stay loyal especially after skipping training and his brushes with the law.
Phil Jones is built like a brick shithouse, Morrison is built like a twig. If he does go and I believe he will then the decision not to invest in midfield looks more ridiculous by the day. I see people easing off Pogba as well now, well that story broke out first. I think he’s gone too.
@ vishy2in – I see that resemblence too with the rooney saga. But criticise Rooney on here you get lamabasted for wanting players having some sort of loyalty to the club.
Rio was a fucking nutcase up until he left Bobby Moore FC yet he didn’t go round demanding more money and he could easily have left that overrated club a few years earlier!!
@samuel
Haven’t watched any Reserves action this season, but I remember being impressed by Larnell Cole after watching a Reserves game at Anfield last season. Like I said yesterday, I’ve always wondered why there was never any hype about him and it was all about Morrison. But then again, Cole has actually kept a low profile in his young life and that’s not intriguing if you are a tabloid.
Good Luck Darron. Sorry for the bunch of not well educated people who sang you names but not enough for us.
Everton the place to be. Good choice for him and good club.
@ kanchelskis – I agree with you mate BUT he did tweet “no contract to speak off” earlier in the week which has turned out to be complete horse shit! Who are you going to believe Morrison who’s lucky not be banged up or Fergie. Thats a no brainer for me.
I say good ridance to morrison, if you look at his twitter page he’s all bling and gangster, what a twat!
If his demands are exessive now then what will they be like in four years time.
He’s a example of how greedy the modern day football kids are and a bad example!
@Costas: True about the negotiation policy and true about L.Cole as well. I don;t get to see reserves matches, but I always try and catch clips on United forums and youtube, and that kid has really stood out for me. Good thing there’s not much hype about him.
@ Costas. Excellent point regarding the contract negotiation stuff, clearly the powers that be (not including Fergie in all of this) learnt nothing about the Rooney saga. Fucking idiots!
@NotoriousRedDevil Hmm. I suppose he could’ve meant one hasn’t been signed yet. Which is true.
Personally I think he should just get himself off Twitter full stop, or just give himself a private account. It’s not doing him, or anyone else, any favours.
@Notorious
Hi mate. I’ve often heard the arguement about Scholes and whether his return kept the kids on the sidelines. It may seem that way because their contracts are up this summer. But Scholes is back for 6 months not 6 years ffs. The first thing they should have learned about Scholes is patience. Paul made his debut at the age of 20 and established himself at 21. These two aren’t anywhere near that yet.
Despite what the tabloids (and some United fans) say at times, Pogba and Morrison right now aren’t the answer to the midfield problem. If they are sitting there thinking “Anderson, Gibson, Scholes at 37 or Giggs at 38″ shouldn’t play ahead of us, then they haven’t got the proper football mentality. Look how long it took Tom to return and make his mark for Christ sake.
Ravel Morrison. The kids needs to wake up. People would do anything to be in his position, having Manchester United offer them a contract.
Making demands at this stage of his career makes him and his advisers look like fools.
Does he not realise that he would be playing 1st team football if he had kept his head down and focused on playing for the greatest club in the world.
If he does that he will have all the money, fame he will ever need.
What a stupid little boy.
The boss gets these things right most of the time. I think we’ve all been predicting this type of move for Gibson. Good for him and I’d be surprised if we ever regrtetted it.
Morrison is definately shaping up to be a gangster. What arogrance at 18 in the gretest club in the world. Snap him in two and blow him away Fergie. No matter how good he is we’ll never regret it.
Just compare Wellbeck and Cleverly’s attitude and patience to this little shits.
Makes you wonder is he’s been tapped up Morrison to City then
@Jeet, Notorious
Not for nothing, but with the current contract policy, we also risk losing a player for peanuts in January or for nothing in June. I never understood how this was a wise move from a business standpoint…
The contract side of things are controlled by the Glazers. On this occasion though, it shouldn’t matter. Pogba and Morrison are looking for big money, before making an impact in the first team. It’s pure greed. The agents never help. Sharks.
Sam – I know where you are coming from, but why should fergie reward that dipshit behaviour from Morrison? He comes to training when he wants, he has spent more time in court then on the pitch with the first team.
He just didn’t derserve it and yes he was a lively spot against palace, but got lost later in the game.
And I don’t know if he can cope physically with the PL.
I can understand both sides of the coin, but if the attitude is shite you can have as much talent as you want. You won’t make it to the top.
@wayne
Morrison and Balotelli together. I don’t think the solar system can withstand these two spending 5 minutes together…
@ Costas – I totally agree mate, but a kid of 18 is not going to think like that. Very few of them do and whether its football or not its down to maturity. I think back to when I was 18 and I sure as hell was no saint. Its not entirely their fault especially when you socialise with the wrong crowd and have an agent who’s only in it for the money, the head will be turned. We all like hearing good things said about us and he’s gone it belived above and beyond the level he should have.
The problem is with their low levels of maturity they are believing stuff from the wrong people which is stupid. There is no gamble for them as far as I’m concerned, they are at the best club in the world, with the best manager EVER and the best training facilities which has a proven track record of bringing younger players through. Like you said they just need to be patient and their time will come. They should have done better vs Palace, my mate told me everyone was playing for themselves rather than as a team that game. No excuses for that.
Fuck Morrison.
Andreas Pereira has finally arrived at Manchester United!
All hail to Andreas Pepe!
btw. Pardew is saying he did not contact United over Morrison.
@ kanchelskis – Could well be, thats the problem with social media and txt messages for that matter. The words being written are open to different interpretations by those that read them.
Morrison is the biggest disappointment here. He was born and bread in Manchester. A native son. If he wants to pass that up, for a bigger pay packet, then don’t let the door hit you on the way out kid.
Costas – exactly, i don’t think the media are interested in any well behaved player which can only be good for united. Scholes said how impressed he is with him and his technical ability so hopefully he’ll come through and start for united.
Costas by the sounds of it born to be together,give Bobby Manc a few more grey hairs,think after signing Tevez and Balotelli Bobby might be getting a little wary of signing headers.
Honestly hard to get my head around what’s going through Morrisons head and who the fuck is giving him advice,one things clear he’s a bad act already and only 18.
GOOD LUCK GIBBO. Enjoy your time at everton. Wishing you success in the rest of your career.
Good luck Gibbo. I agree with the others, I think he will do very well at Everton under Moyes. He will get games and his career should progress quite nicely.
As for Ravel, the lad seriously needs someone to sort him out. He has fantastic talent as I have seen him in a few reserve games hence the reason for SAF tolerating with him but talent alone is not enough to make the transition from Reserve level to Premier League. The lad needs to buckle down and work his socks off. But most importantly, he needs to tell his greedy agent to piss off.
New Stanley Victor Collymore? It’s not that drastic yet, surely?
Good luck with everton Gibbson and I hope you have a wonderful career there
Thanks Darron, and good luck. Thanks for nothing Ravel, and try not to murder anyone.
More like a mini Kray, if he’s not careful. I’ve trodden that path Ravel. It’s not all what it’s cracked up to be. Newcastle upon Tyne isn’t the best choice for your development either. Geordie shaw, anyone? I do wonder where his family are, in all this craziness?
samuel – united WE stand
Yeah well we’ve used money too and with good effect. thing i’m saying is Manchester United is just not the club for wee ravel. For me at this point, it’s win some, lose some. Without sounding a prick, there are other exciting prospects at the club and in the world. Holding breath, touching wood: Pogba, Tunni, Cole and the pick of the bunch Tom Clev,I’m not knocking the boy, ravel. He a bad ass player and all i’ll say is watch out for him if the future. Its simple as it looks, Ravel Morrison is not a Manchester United Player.
Good luck Gibbo. Tidy back up midfielder when on form just never seemed to get anyones confidence.
I would add that he had one winner for us in a 1-0 v Hull in 99 and then the first goal at OT v Bayern Munich in the CL. 10 goals in 60 appearances many as subs.
Also to be noted was his stand out role in the Treble winning youth cup team of 04-05.
Won one of our reserve player awards that year. Still don’t get the transfer market. I am hearing we barley got 1m for Darron. But we move on.
Gibbo is a red and I wish him all the best.
Maybe City want to re-enact the Ryan Giggs move we did on them
Ravenous Ravel, reveling the ride down the road of riches, surrounded by kiss and tell bitches,
blinded by money hungry snitches like vultures on dead prey, no mention of wanting to play,
instead he wants away in pursuit of premium pay. The blind leading the blind over the cliff of dismay
slim – Interesting theory? Must still sting that one….
Bring Back Ruud – That’s sick!
“It’s a good move for Darron,” Sir Alex told manutd .com. “He has to get on with his career.”
“He played some terrific games for us and he has terrific ability, but in terms of the pecking order here he knew he wouldn’t be a first-team regular all the time. Unfortunately he got an injury earlier in the season which kept him out for ten weeks, but he’s fit again and it’s a good opportunity for him.”
“He missed the chance to go to Sunderland [in the summer] and I think he regretted that. He’s taken the opportunity to go to Everton and I think they really need a player like him. They’re getting a player of good quality who has the experience of playing here. The other players we’ve sent to Everton, like Tim Howard and Phil Neville, have done fantastically well for them. Hopefully this is another one.”
Haha, cheers Willie
Another youth that didn’t make the grade. Lots of them in Prem n the other leagues. Never kicked on after promising start. He’ll prob score one long range effort every yr n media hail him as a star.
Shows wats happenin at club tho, we’re short on midfielders, Fergie lknows no-ones ready to step up and Anderson still not proved himself. Pinning hopes on Clev who’s undoubtedly talented.
Second in league tho just shows the spirit of the c’ub, and the wat brill manager Fergie is
Sam. Are you serious? Err I think fergie knows when the time is right to blood a player after all these years don’t you? It really annoys me these folks saying oh Fergie is to blame. Do one. Nobody banged Ravels drum louder than me but he clearly doesn’t know which side his bread is buttered. Greedy fuckijg bastards. Take a leaf out of Danny and Toms book son. Unbe fucking lievable. Even at 37 Pogba and Ravel aint fit to lace his Nikes. Give me Paul all day long. He will be vital in the title race. Morrison wouldn’t be. Pogba is different. Can see him staying.
United. Oh not like you to have a pop at a player. Gibbo will be an excellent aquisition for Everton when you consider that lanky cunt Henderson cost twenty large.
Good luck Darron lad and cheers.
Giggs12. Get in touch with James or Mike mate about tomorrow!
Samuel. Spot on at 13 39 mate. Larnell is becoming a top little player as is Lingard. Proper mentality too. Like you say it is probably lads like this that will make it.
Pogba when interviewed seems a bright lad. Didn’t speak a word of english two years ago now its word perfect.
It really is a fucking piss take when people lay the blame at Fergies door. Why the fuck should he play them if he thinks they aint ready. Only a few week back he was saying putting them in at the wrong time can fuck them up.
Just hope that smug cunt Pardew doesn’t get him.
AlphaRS. Hello pal. No club wanted Ba in the summer. He went Stoke but Pulis was worried about his injury record and recurring knee problem. Will probably be a flash in the pan for a season or two. Remember Zaki looking the nuts when he first joined wigan. Don’t get me wrong at present Ba looks a world beater!
Good Luck Gibson!! at bengoshi : WE did manage to win the game against bayern munic at OT- just didnt win the fixture as we got knocked out on away goals, if memory serves me right.
Andreas Pereira
‘Other British clubs were interested. I thought about it, but Manchester United is a dream club for me.
Now thats what we want to hear
I hope Darron has an awesome career at Everton and becomes a total legend there.
