Sho Time Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 One of our better players last season, fucking mental to consider selling him given we'll replace him with nobody - or even worse - Adama Traore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Who? Ritchie? He already is comfortably a Premier League player. The likes of Mark Noble and Chris Brunt have (had) been Premier League players for over a decade, the bar really isn't that high and Ritchie's certainly above it.

madras Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 great Championship player just does not have it to be a premier league player imo Harsh Like. He was very good for the back half of last season. Definitely prem quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yeah, he's easily a Prem player (for the weaker sides). The question would naturally is if we're to be one of them or sell him to bring in a replacement that helps us advance. Whereas the answer will be selling him and regressing with a player that's not as good, but is cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 great Championship player just does not have it to be a premier league player imo Apart from the two seasons he's successfully proved himself an adequate premier league player, yeah. He's no world beater but good enough for a number of teams in the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Who? Ritchie? He already is comfortably a Premier League player. The likes of Mark Noble and Chris Brunt have (had) been Premier League players for over a decade, the bar really isn't that high and Ritchie's certainly above it. I was very critical of him at times last season and did regard him as nothing more than a top Championship player, but he won me over and showed he can cut it at this level proving he is Premier League quality. Obviously not a top player, but someone who can perform as he did towards the end of the season. I’d rather we kept him and upgraded on him so that our squad becomes much better, but it seems we have to sell some players sadly and if we could get 15m for him and reinvest it in areas we need more quality in and can get Murphy performing down the flank, I wouldn’t be against selling.

Kanji Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Would be fine with it if i trusted the fucking club to sign a proper replacement. Ritchie was fucking crucial in the survival bid, came alive when Kenedy came through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Ritchie helped drag us through the latter stage of the season with pure effort and chipped in with goals. Wouldn’t sell him at all unless we had someone lined up who was better. And we all know how his works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 It's what I'd say if I were them too to be fair. If you want one of our first teamers you have to pay over the top. Rather different than the Mike Ashley perspective though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We do have a huge excess of players but it's beyond ridiculous if we're genuinely saying 'sell to buy'. We're dripping with money just like every other Premier League club They clearly want Rafa gone next summer, like. Which makes no sense when it comes to protecting your assets, club value etc. But Ashley doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
