Swindon Town's Matt Ritchie unfazed by Bournemouth bid
     

Midfielder Matt Ritchie shrugs off interest from League One Bournemouth, saying he is concentrating on being a Swindon Town player.

He's unfazed because some russian billionaire living in sandbanks has promised him 15k a week when bournemouth come back in with a 2 million deal on the 1st january.

Cynical.

But, aside from the amounts, probably accurate.

I think we all know that it's bye bye Ritchie..........and this time next year when we're above Bournemouth in League 1 (assuming of course that they don't go down) I wonder if he'll have a tinge of regret. I doubt it because he'll be being tapped up by someone else by then.

Cynical.........

Let's not worry about something that might not happen

Dear Matt,

Just look at Pompey and see how often these 'so-called' Russian billionaires turn out to be as legit as Munto Finance !!

Thank you Matt, now go and play like you fucking mean it instead of the half arsed glory hunting you've been doing for the last few weeks.

This has all the signs that he will be off in January.  I hope I am wrong as he is a good player with a bright future but at the end of the day he is one player in a strong squad that play well as a team so it won't be the end of the world if he goes.

If Bournemouth's Russian bid £2million for Matt Ritchie then I'd pack his bags and personally warm up some goulash for when he gets there.

Would he be Hungary then ?

Had a lovely rabbit lasgane in Budapest.  Irrellevent and not that interesting, but thought I'd share.
