Morrison To Be QPR's Di Canio, Says Redknapp Morrison To Be QPR's Di Canio, Says Redknapp Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has said West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison can be the new Paolo Di Canio as the two clubs agree on a loan deal for the England U21 star. Morrison hasnât played since the end of the January transfer window when speculation was rife about a possible move to fellow Premier League strugglers Fulham. The Mirror reports that he is now to make the move across London to QPR for a 93-day loan, a period that will allow him to be available for the Championship play-offs should the London side miss out on automatic promotion. Speaking about the possible impact of the former Manchester United youngster, Redknapp said Morrison had the ability to change the race for promotion, comparing him to the likes of Paolo Di Canio and Paul Merson. "We need someone who can unlock the door," Redknapp said. "I've always had someone in my teams who can change a game. I had Di Canio and Merson at Portsmouth. I've had someone special who can turn a game for you. Thought the other day we dominated but Ravel may be one of those lads who can do that for us. It is a gamble for us. He has got baggage or something else. "If we didn't have a problem somewhere he wouldn't be here, he would still be playing at Manchester United. He has that talent. "It's the chance you take. Somewhere in life you have got to take a chance and take a gamble. Sometimes they come off and sometimes they don't. "Maybe we do need a little bit of a maverick on the pitch. Someone who can do his own thing at time. Adel was the main reason they got promoted. Talk to Clint he was the difference and the icing on the cake that got them up. Hopefully Ravel can do the same." Morrison scored three goals in the space of a month-and-a-half earlier in the season to show glimpses of his quality but has since struggled to impose himself, watching on as West Ham have won three games on the bounce.
