"It's good to have someone who likes to play football, who knows how to keep the ball on the floor and pass it about. Rav can always get you the ball and see where you are, the forward-thinking that he does gives us security."
Morrison is on loan at St Andrews for the current campaign and will return to the Boleyn Ground as soon as it finishes; having originally signed for the Hammers from Manchester United in January of last year.
The man once believed to be the most talented prospect to emerge from Old Trafford since Paul Scholes and described by Sir Alex Ferguson as "a very, very talented boy" was put up for sale by United after a series of scuffles with the law including two counts of witness intimidation, for which he was given a 12-month referral order. The loan move to Birmingham was with the idea in mind of giving Morrison first team football and settling him down, but in October, Blues boss Lee Clark criticised the forward's attitude in training and was on the verge of sending him back to London. However, he kept him on and Morrison has now in Clark's words, "knuckled down," and to the extent that former Newcastle player Clark has compared him to one of his old teammates- Paul Gascoigne. This latest praise from teammate Redmond shows the progress which Morrison has made so hopefully when he makes his return to Chadwell Heath, the young Mancunian will be able to remind West Ham boss Sam Allardyce why he took a chance on him.
