Ravel Morrison set to move to Aston Villa
Lazio midfielder Ravel Morrison is set to return to England with Aston Villa.
The talented but controversial former Manchester United starlet was left out of the Lazio squad for their season opener against Atalanta because he is close to a move to Villa Park, according to Corriere Dello Sport.
Morrison has only made eight appearances for Lazio since moving last year.
Will the 23-year-old's turbulent career settle down under Roberto Di Matteo?

If he's only made 8 appearances for them, it surely isn't inconceivable that he's just been left out of the squad.  As much as there may be talent there, I'd rather not.  We need characters, yes, just not that sort of character.

Apparently he's had a great pre-season and his omission has come as a bit of a shock. Can anyone tell me what his last misdemeanor was ?

Turning out for Blose.

Maybe the deal has been done and hence, he's no longer a target

Where he played very well for Lee Clark. However this is not the type of "character" we need down Villa Park.....not in any way!

Tone's latest tweet reads like we are buying a RB and world class No 9 so anything else would appear to be loans.

I wonder if the forward is Loic Remy.  With Benteke now at Palace, they may not be interested in him.  He now looks to be out of Chelsea's plans.

Assume the new RB is Yedlin and the De Laet links have gone quiet.

the Bamford thing is an odd one - if he was that good he should have been snapped up by now. Remy would be immense in the Chumps.

I reckon it'll be Hernandez and Yedlin.

If Benin qualify for the ACON Rudy Gestede will be loping his stuff on a world stage.  It is all relative I'm afraid these days.

He probably means Hernandez.

Uruguay international, plenty of experience playing in Serie A with Palermo and now playing in The Best League in the World (tm) -even if it is only for Hull.

To someone from China, that is world class.

It looks like there was contact earlier in the summer and we weren't politely told to get knotted.

With the manager situation at Hull, it makes sense that he'd want to keep his options open. Depending on how badly we want him, it's not inconceivable that we'd offer more money (even in the Championship) than what he is on at Hull. Even if we were only offering parity, it's another signing on fee.

Far more likely is that he (or more accurately his agent) would use our interest to get better terms at Hull, or to say to other PL or topflight clubs across Europe 'Aston Villa have offered this, so you need to start here as a minimum.'

Either way, I don't see him ending up here.
