Rumours are getting stronger Ravel Morrison is coming to Villa from Lazio. If so, would this be a good move? Probably in my view - especially if Veretout leaves this window - we desperately need midfield creativity. MOrrison has it. But failing at Man U, West Ham and now Lazio shows there is something wrong with his approach. 8 games and 159 minutes at Lazio this season was poor, though a new country is a hard ask.
He could be the making of our poor midfield, and give us the attacking option Veretout did not. He is a gamble as he is not a proven team player. But that is for the manager to decide as the risk to team unity seems to be an issue. Its odd no one is talking about midfield. We do need a striker and a right back, but midfield is calling out for a creative player to supplement or supplant WEstwood or Gardner. What do other fans think?
