Ritch fee?
SWINDON Town have turned down a £900,000 bid from an unnamed club for a senior member of Paolo Di Canio’s squad, the Robins boss has revealed. The offer, which the Advertiser understands was lodged for winger Matt Ritchie during the club’s tour of Italy last week, was immediately rebuffed by Di Canio - who is keen to keep all the key members of last year’s League Two-winning side with Town ahead of the 2012/13 campaign. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/9821780.Ritch_fee_/?ref=rss

£900K + 2 players from an unnamed league 1 club. It may not be over but this board are really backing PDC and the club.

That's quite a lot of money. Time to discuss a new deal perhaps?

I don't think two players were actually offered, that was just Di Canio saying 'even if, they offered money plus two players...' |

Right, fair enough. I was only going on the Adver report. I wonder who the club/players are?? |

Yes sorry was taking that off BBC RS not Adver. The Adver article definitely says "if.." so either BBC are in the know or missunderstood what PDC said.
There was a rumour on OBIT that the Slave Traders were tabling a cash plus player deal - but the radio said it was a league 1 club..

I think we safely assume the league 1 club wasnt Pompey.

I would guess Bournemouth. They've openly made bids for Ritchie in the past and have about 50 strikers, so are probably wanting to offload some. The only other team I think that could offer that money is Sheff Utd, but I think they're cutting their costs as their premiership parachute payments are finishing soon. |

A £900k IOU, Tal Ben Haim and Nwankwo Kanu? |

If a club was to offer a million + add ons I think we should take it.

Nope wouldn't take that (unless we have to and the noises coming from the club at present are that we don't). The key thing is this is must be is Richie happy here? If so then go out of our way to keep him. He's a player who I don't think some town fans will really appreciate until he's gone. |
