For those of you not on twitter here is how it went down:
Michael Vaughan:
How good is Ravel Morrison
G.Neville:
A huge talent
(Rio then gets involved)
Rio Ferdinand:
@GNev2 you what??
G.Neville
@rioferdy5 pardon Rio? You don't think he is?
Rio Ferdinand
@GNev2 never saw what u were talking about,apologies! got huge potential. I've told him what I think of him+what he needs to do to fulfil it
G.Neville
@rioferdy5 i wasnt talking about me!! yes he has got potential. Youth cup winners produce players. Hope he can do it.
Rio Ferdinand
@GNev2 so do I,Love to see young lads come thru the youth system.Would b a big waste if it all goes t**s up. Got some good 1s coming through

People keep going on about Ravel's attitude, people also claim that the people around Manchester United are getting fed up with him. But this conversation highlights what 2 of the senior players think of him and I'm sure Rio is in his ear giving him the right advice, Ravel just probably feels like he's good enough to be playing.
Also been watching MUTV, he was discussed on the Paddy Crerand show. Paddy was talking about how he's really talented and has high hopes for him.
Lou Macari, Fortune and David May have all talked about him as well and have all said positive things in terms of his ability, I think everyone's just tired of all the rumours.
I could do with some followers so follow me @B_A_Z_1
Gary & Rio talking about Ravel on twitter

mix a thick, cháv footballer with a shrewd agent and there will be trouble (Rooney, classic case).
hopefully he stays, class on the pitch.
I think there is more than a grain of truth to his off field antics though, a couple of months ago, on the Paddy show, someone bought up Ravel's antics... you could tell that they knew something and it was really rattling paddy... but he had to keep quiet.

TheOne - You're completely right I'm bloody hooked! I've only been like this for a week! I don't know what's happened.
But Ravel has just tweeted for anyone who cares lol.
Ravel Ryan Morrison @RavelMorrison49

I don't want to keep reading into his every tweet, but with all the negative press he gets it's nice to see him say something positive especially when it's United related.

Sounds like he has given Rio his watch back then

Seems to me that they are trying to put pressure on him to sign a new contract.

Albert I was going to say something, then I presumed he must have been joking.

Yep only kidding, strange rumour to go round initially though, wonder what prompted rio's initial tweet aimed at Ravel if it wasn't that?

Sounds like a well executed marketing strategy by United to get a few bids in.

Im sure Neville and Ferdinand would know if the player was off and although they would never confirm onTwatter that Morrisons leaving, the way they are talking suggests they are hoping he fullfills his potential with United.
