Carnero Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 There's a reason managers such as Fergie, Allardyce, Redknapp, Warnock & Wilder have all given him a chance. No harm in taking a look if he's finally grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a player there, but at face value a fair degree of baggage. We’re gambling we strike lucky. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to think very carefully about handing out a contract (expect he will want more than CKR initial popcorn pay). That’s what he has actually been good at - getting a trial - not performing on a football pitch for a first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hennessy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 One of the areas we have holes is midfield. Yes, we have a real talent in Bielik...but he's injured, we have Shinnie and Knight. Yes you may like to add the untried Watson to that group and Sibley / Lawrence....both for me more No.10's. Joz again more of a wide player. So for me we are light in quality in that area. Morrison may turn out to not make it here but I'd say that in there that there's a player that can do a job in the Championship. We cant sign any players involving a fee and we also cant sign players who want high wages....so really we're stuck in the bargain basement aren't we....so for anyone to write off players (as they do on here) before they've even kicked a ball - to me seems crazy. If the Manager has faith in them and signs them on then surely we have to support them. I think many posters on here would rather see us relegated then take on players that they dont see fit to wear the shirt. Make no mistake - another season of struggle awaits us....its all hands to the pump. I dont see any problem with the players Rooney has brought in during the close season. Are they likely to get us promotion - no....are they likely to keep us out of the bottom 3 ...maybe.

Taribo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 This is the best highlight reel ever: Puts Abdul Camara’s to absolute shame. Trots around doing sideways passes or back to the keeper, reacts badly to getting brought down then skies a free kick. Sign him up!

VulcanRam Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I cannot believe anyone might think this is a good idea. Have we learnt not learned anything from Jordon Ibe? Are we really that desperate? When I see things like this it just underlines how far we have fallen. Derbados, i-Ram and Norman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give one man a chance, doesn't pay off, doesn't mean you don't give another that maybe desperate for a chance. Jordon Ibe's issues are not comparable to those of Ravel Morrison. And are we really that desperate? Sadly yes, Rooney is starting his managerial career out on hard mode. Bubbles, DCFC1388 and rynny 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are that desperate, but I don't think Rooney will take any crap - he didn't from Waghorn messing about in training. Unlike Ibe Morrison is fit to play.

The EFL have us by the short and curlies and are determined to make us suffer for as long as possible - our ONLY option is to take a punt on players we'd normally ignore. The alternative is to accept relegation before we've even kicked a ball..... DCFC1388, Premier ram, Tomchope and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 We are in an absolute mess. Maybe Morrison signs and maybe he turns out to be good, but the fact we have let ourselves get in to a position where this is the sort of gamble we are having to explore is a joke.

Norman Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The best that can happen is he makes 15 appearances, scores 3 goals, and because he is on a 1 year contract, leaves in January to a top 6 Championship club. What a time to be a Derby fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Let's face it, none of us will have done cartwheels round the house at seeing this. But with our current situation what choice do we have. Rooney suffers no fools so if he doesn't pull his weight or show the right attitude, he'll be gone. He was/is clearly a very talented player and was respected by a lot of players, including Rooney himself. Yes, he comes with baggage. If Rooney and the coaches can get him enjoying his football he could do a job for us although I agree it's a gamble but probably one we are forced to take at the moment whilst embargoed and with no funds. He could do a CKR on us, and then we'll all forget the concerns and cries of No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
