Lush Vlad Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If we manage to get Ritchie. I think it's nailed on that we'll lose Townsend. Doesn't Rafa like his inverted wingers? Townsend has played exclusively on the right side, the same as Ritchie has for Bournemouth. If we got him in and Townsend stayed, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I always thought Ritchie looked like he was going to be class but didn't see a lot of him in the premiership then. Had he a few injuries or something Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got him in and Townsend stayed, though It would cushion the blow of losing Townsend, but I don't think he's as quick. Excellent player apart from that though, he'll be perfect for the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Is Ritchie any good then? Yes he is, and he scores some fecking thunder bastards from a million yards out. Yards !!! hahaha fuck you EU and your metres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I always thought of Richie as more of playmaker and general attacking midfielder... nee idea if I'm right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I always thought of Richie as more of playmaker and general attacking midfielder... nee idea if I'm right though. I agree. I'm sure I've seen him at Swindon once or twice when they were on Sky, as well. He plays out wide, but he's certainly not a winger, like Townsend.

TRon Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm kind of surprised Bournemouth would consider selling him to us though. Are they looking to upgrade? Seems a strange move to sell one of your better players to a team in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just looking at some clips of Ritchie on Ytube. To me, he'd be like what Xabi Alonso was to Rafa at Liverpool. Covers a lot of the pitch, has the technical abilities and someone who can either provide chances or finish off moves. Certainly has an end product.

joeyt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 A few of their fans on their forums seems to suggest that Ritchie was annoyed they brought in Iturbe in January who plays in the exact same position so now his agent wants to get him a move elsewhere (despite Iturbe not playing much at all) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Assuming after Sels, Gayle & Richie it'll mostly be free transfers or loans but I'm fine with that. Still think we'll raise a good £70-80m from Janmaat, Sissoko, Townsend, Wijnaldum, Tiote, Cisse, Krul, Perez & Thauvin.

Ikon Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Shelvey Mr transparent head could he provide some good balls behind the defenders for Gayle maybe (if he stays, and gets his s*** together) He will probably be sold for decent money to a bottom half desperate team with too much money.
