TRon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Do wish Andros had been up for it, but for us to make a replacement signing on the same day is brilliantly efficient. We'll miss Andros' pace, I don't think Ritchie is that quick, but he does have good delivery and can score goals from what it looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hadn't seen any of him before and obviously YT can't tell you if a player is good or not but he has some real technical ability, like. Had no idea what kinda player he was but I'm stoked now. Are their fans gutted he's left? They must have someone lined up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Stats are good. Four in the PL last year and 15 in the Championship 14/15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He's played almost exclusively on the right for Bournemouth, so seems to be a straight replacement for Townsend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Got a feeling he'll be a player we'll end up hating in a couple years. like "OMG why is Matt Ritchie starting?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Think Rafa is adapting to his surroundings with a 4-4-2? Aarons and Ritchie wingers, big man/small man up top? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I would like to see a 4-4-2, otherwise we are a bit heavy on the striking front. However Mitrovic will be out for the first few games so that won't be an option for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 A lot of Bournemouth fans seem pretty disappointed about this - http://www.bournemouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=76402&start=81 - which has to be a decent sign. Seems like a decent forum as well going on the few posts that I've read on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah that Bournemouth forum seems really sound going by that page or so, nice to read actual discussion instead of wankers trying to wave their cocks about lording it up. I like to think we do the same when we're not discussing Alan Pardew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steggy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Suprised people have never heard of him. Regular starter for Bournemouth last year, scored a goal of the season contender and was instrumental in getting them promoted the season before. Anyways good signing, will be one of the best players in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 At the start of last season he was one of the most tipped players as one to watch. I'm not completely sure what happened as the season went on, he didn't seem to make quite the impact expected over the whole season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Rafa basically confirming he's Townsend's replacement then, at least we got it done fast and now we can move on to other stuff like hopefully a couple of defenders. Sold a player, replaced him. Why am I amazed? How shit have we been? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm still a bit surprised that we pulled this one off, top quality premier league midfielder in his prime that hasn't looked for a move, drops a division and takes a big gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
