Matt Ritchie (now playing for Portsmouth)

[Charlies]

Good luck to the lad 

[PauloGeordio]

May the corner flag terror live on! 

[Kanj]

Wait, what happened to Bournemouth 

[Rafalove]

Great servant to the club.

[Pilko]

Nice move for him, back on the South Coast and at his first club. Imagine his leadership and knowledge of that division will come in handy for a newly-promoted side looking to consolidate, although he won't have the legs for Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday anymore so probably plays a squad role.

 

Hope he does well there.

[Kid Icarus]

Godspeed Matthew!

[Joelinton7]

Wha? Thought it was Bournemouth? Turncoat 

[toon25]

Good fucking luck to him. Been fantastic for us and this club 

[WilliamPS]

Good luck to him, put the graft in for years.

 

He could never have joined Bournemouth, he cannot play in the PL now, however the Championship might give him a nice final hurrah

As a Pompey mush with a soft spot for Eddie Howe and Newcastle (hence why I'm here) this is probably a good spot for my first post.

 

Many moons ago, Pompey played reserve matches at Aldershot where I was living, so I saw Ritchie coming through the ranks and he was the only player that showed any inkling of making it. He's had a really solid career up with you guys and has long said he wanted to complete his career back at Fratton Park. Now we have two Pompey boys in the squad with him joining Marlon Pack. I'm happy to have him back as think that bit of experience along with Pack will be important to Championship survival. 

 

We'll take good care of him as he is one of our own.

Fair play that's a great move for him. He's been immense on (for a few seasons) and off it and been a bit of a father figure for some for the last few years. Great pro, talented and will still do a decent job for Portsmouth for a coupe of years - hope he smashes it and they appreciate him, top bloke

Farewell sweet prince…

[Ronaldo]

Very fortunate to going to a Championship team. They’re mental, tbh. Wish him the best.

[RobsonsWonderland]

At least he can drive his own furniture down...

They watched him 

[Kimbo]

I was hoping he would go and play in his native Scotland.

[mosstef]

Him and Elias Sørensen rocking up the championship together 

[Yorkie]

Love to see that, hope he plays loads of games. He's easily capable of doing a canny job for a team with aspirations of Championship survival. Keep us posted, @AdoptedGeordieFromPompey.

[Checko]

Love it. He wanted to play for Portsmouth again & got his wish. May he demolish many corner flags

[Coffee_Johnny]

I just misread title as ‘rejects’ free transfer to… what the hell is his transfer window doing to me! 

[Superior Acuña]

Ar lovely, remember watching that interview with him a couple of years ago where he said he wanted to go back there. So rarely happens now in football.

[Jinky]

Thats a relief.

[Coffee_Johnny]

Chuffed for Ritchie. Pompey fans seem delighted too. He’ll no doubt be as much of an asset off the pitch as on. 

[teohgk]

All the best

Just put £10 on him to score against us in the league cup.
