Just realised, the curse of the TEF player sponsorship strikes again. Greer, Paynter and now Ritchie.
Can we sponsor someone shit next season pease?
It's also the curse of my son's favourite player. Austin now Ritchie. I'm not looking forward to telling him tomorrow morning, he's going to be devastated  |

I hope they agreed to forget about plexiglassgate as part of the deal. It's also the curse of my son's favourite player. Austin now Ritchie. I'm not looking forward to telling him tomorrow morning, he's going to be devastated Likewise. My son that is, not yours. Do your own dirty work! |

Bit left field this....but
Could Ritchie's contract been owned by one of the directors? A bit Carlos Tevez style?
Very left-field. Think that form of player ownership isn't allowed in this country. |

I would agree with that. That he's going to be good - not that you're the only one who thinks it. |

De Vita has been superb this year and could play there also.

Could be clutching at straws here, but is Roberts naturally a right sided player? Could this explain why he has struggled with us so far on the left?

That explains it, Richie has actually been holding us back. Roberts, vastly superior in every way!  |

Well this is a great big steaming pile of dog crap on top what has been a shit week for me. I can't believe after we rebuffed bids from Bournemouth so many times we've let him go for so bloody cheap. Disgusting. If this is our new owner at work god preserve us. Can't understand why this would be linked to the club takeover at all, unless the new owners want to see Ritchie gone for personal reasons, or Black et al have let him go just to spite those coming in.
Raffa at RM? Other than Luke Rooney, fuck knows who else we've got to play there. Williams? (No) Roberts? (he's having enough trouble on his natural side atm frankly...) All the games I've seen this season Ferry does a nice job of switching with Ritchie to screw around with defences, but I don't know if he's really tricky enough to replace him. Plus he's too important in the middle of the park. Maybe Navarro? He sounds like he'd be good on the right...
Anyone who doubts Ritchie's ability/influence should look at the fact he must have started damn near every single game this (and last) season. I think only Fods is even close to him. Paolo doesn't let players do that unless they deserve it.

I loved Rooney when he played. Didn't he "out assist" Ritchie in the short time he was starting? |

If I remember correctly, when Caddis was despatched the war cry from the forum was that Ritchie would never be as effective.
Now he's gone someone will step into the breach,
Fuck me, he aint that good

Ritchie reckons Eddie Howe is one of the best managers in England  Did a great job with Burnley. Sounds like the only reason he left was the 'uncertainty'. He clearly been pushed out. Just wish we knew why. From recollection didn't Ritchie sound rather keen on a move to Muff a year or so back when they were sniffing around previously? We are all overlooking the obvious replacement at right midfield... Caddis can play there if PdC goes! |
