Shearergol Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Well we know the club has no interest in progressing so why not? Elliot next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Holden Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I like Ritchie but I think he's served his purpose here - got us promoted, kept us up, chipped in with the odd goal. He's a steady enough and grafts plenty, but any club with an ounce of ambition would have replaced him with better by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if people on here rated him or not, hence the explanation of why I'd bin him off. Seems most agree already, thankfully. Fuck Ritchie tbh.

worthy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 He has done is service and shouldn't be on a new contract. More silly decisions being made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 He has done is service and shouldn't be on a new contract. More silly decisions being made.  Exactly this, I like Ritchie and he did carry us through the 2nd half of the championship season but he's utterly one dimensional. Any other club would be looking to upgrade.

James Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If both have taken pay cuts and are going to be back up players it’s a good move. Probably haven’t though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If both have taken pay cuts and are going to be back up players it’s a good move. Probably haven’t though  They could play for free for all I care, but not for us. Neither are good enough, even as backup. Shelvey is shit coming off the bench and not good enough to start. Ritchie is just shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I personally don't mind this decision to be honest, he should never be first choice but as a back up that can play in multiple decision, he's more then serviceable, kind of like a shot James Milner, and it's only an extra 2 years.

Aiston Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Stupid decision to give him a new contract, as much as he runs himself into the ground there is no quality in him any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 He's a poor athlete now; what's he going to be like in 3 years!? Would've potentially taken another year on him as a squad option while we phased him out but 3 years is a pisstake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 said this would happen (& shelvey) in the squad thread weeks ago and we all knew it - far cheaper to retain average to poor plodders like these two than actually buy credible PL standard replacements bullshit club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don’t think Richie gets the credit he deserves for what he’s done here at times but it’s pretty clear to see he’s not up to the pace to be a first team regular so this new contract for both him and Shelvey is a bit baffling.  What’s worse is Longstaff and Manquillo really should have been priorities and there hasn’t been a word about either of them.
