It will be interesting to see how Ritchie does this year. When he was on loan he couldn't get in the team ahead of Ward and McGovern and that was a play off team. I think he's got better since then but i think his lack of pace will make the championship a step too far, the same as Paynter

Disagree. Ok he's not the quickest but he's not a winger who particularly relies on pace and he's not slow either. I think he could play championship in the next few years! |

As long as he stays at SN1 he will play championship in the next few years!!  |

I don't think Ritchie is particularly slow and you dont HAVE to have pace to be a good wingers you need a good delivery and footballing brain.....which Ritchie does have 90% of the time.
Chris Waddle and John Robertson never had much pace about them but did well.
I would rather have a Ritchie in the team....who can run with a ball and cross it (often on the cut in) and also shoot than I would have a Macnamee who could dribble with the ball half the time, couldnt cross and got a nose bleed when he was in a shooting position.

Good offer for a good player....DiCanio could well be looking for more players after a few weeks if his summer signings fail to inspire...not saying they wont but £ 900k could buy some one quite decent at League 1 level. Please NOT Kewell that would be ridiculous...

That's what we like to hear, a positive outlook and a sunny disposition.  |

David Beckham never really had pace and he did alright for himself as a winger.

I personally would never call Beckham an inside right, much more winger. he did evolve into a more central role later in his career but most definately started as a winger/right midfield. |

Mark Walters was past it when he came here and was still ace. He showed you didn't need pace, just create some space to cross the ball. Ritchie is older and more experienced so I don't see League One being a problem for him.
Not sure I'm that bothered about him staying, we've got a stronger squad now including other wingers that can step in. Plus they'd bring in a replacement who would be just as good. I have total confidence in Wray and PDC.

Thats ridiculous. We'd definitely miss him, but 900k is getting near the amount of money we should be looking to cash in on

If we can get around 1.2 million for him I'd sell him. It's normally only strikers at this level that go for over a million.
Dont you get it?.....we dont need to sell...we need our best players to make the Championship....what is the point of a million in the bank but one good player gone. Its time to sit on the talent we have. We dont need to take risks on outgoing or ingoing players.....also it dosn't make sense to sell to another club in the league you are in...it will come back to bite you in a lot of cases. |
