Sam Allardyce tells Ravel Morrison to be patient
SAM ALLARDYCE has told Ravel Morrison he is far from certain of getting into the West Ham side.
Allardyce paid Manchester United £650,000 for the teenager last month after Sir Alex Ferguson decided he had had enough of his off-field problems.
Allardyce said: “We all know he has got the ability, it’s just whether we think that ability can go into the first team right away.
“If yes, then he can play between now and the end of the season. If not, we’ll develop him for the start of next season – wherever we are.”
