Sheffield Wednesday will make a decision on free-agent trialist Ravel Morrison this week...

What's the word?

Speaking after the Owls' impressive 2-1 win over high-flying south Yorkshire rivals Barnsley, Wednesday manager Darren Moore revealed he was taking a look at the 28-year-old midfielder. He said, via The Star:

"What we’ll do is take a good look at Ravel and make a decision in the next two, three, four days so we know what we’re doing with Ravel going forward."

The former Manchester United graduate has been without a club since leaving Dutch outfit ADO Den Haag and is free to join the Owls as he contract was terminated by mutual consent in January.

Polarising maverick

It's not been too long since Wednesday last had a player who will cut the fanbase like a knife through butter. Indeed, Fernando Forestieri was that man for a very long time at Hillsborough.

After playing an instrumental role in back-to-back playoff campaigns under Carlos Carvalhal, the Argentina-born Italian soon saw his Owls career dogged by injury problems and disciplinary issues before leaving in the summer after a divisive five years.

Morrison has played for 11 different teams, including arch-rivals Sheffield United, and has struggled for regular game-time and consistency in that time. This is something he acknowledged during an appearance on Rio Ferdinand's 'Vibe with Five' podcast, via The Star:

"I think it's because a lot of people already have a picture in their head of what I am like, so people don't want to commit and say: 'We'll bring him to the club for two or three years'. They think: 'We'll give him six months because he might be a problem.'" Chris Wilder also described him as a "maverick" and has previously lauded the midfielder as an "undoubted talent" with "serious ability", yet his track record would say otherwise. He would likely be another polarising figure at Wednesday. You couldn't say Forestieri didn't lack ability - after all, he produced 40 goals and 18 assists in 134 appearances - it's the fact that it could've been so much better with more application and fewer problems, both on and off the pitch. That very much is the same for Morrison. At Manchester United, he was thought to be "better than" the likes of Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard coming through, according to Wayne Rooney. "He struggled with lifestyle and his environment which was sad for him," explained the Red Devils legend to The Sunday Times. The Owls could do with all the help they can get right now, so taking Morrison on board for the remainder of the season could be a smart ploy, but they will need to be weary for the long run. Things quickly turned south for Forestieri, and that's not something that needs to be repeated at Hillsborough again.
