andycap Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We only have two fit wingers so flash and miggy can't be used in centre mid. Then if Wilson gets injured you'd think gordon would be thrown up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 If Isak is out for a couple of weeks and Wilson gets injured (not beyond the realms of possibiliy considering the number of games we have & his injury record) we may need Gordon to slot in as a striker. Would love to see Miley get some playing time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But signing another player, bedding them in, training them up for 6-month before sending them packing is? It's pretty obvious Howe trusts his squad and I don't see how Ritchie is any different. 'Shite' Paul Dummet was excellent against Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think he also did it because he trusts him as a squad player and will happily put him in when needed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahoneys Tache Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The injuries are a pain in the arse but the upside is that some of the new signings and young lads will get more experience. I didn’t particularly expect us to get to the next stage of the champions league and I wasn’t expecting top four again so I reckons in the long term this will help with consistency through the squad.

There were two football journalists discussing that on Sky Sports this morning, they seemed to think it was doable but would attract all the wrong type of attention given both clubs are owned by PIF.

Klaus Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We were heavily linked with him in the summer as well tbf. We probably can't splash the cash in January so a loan/loan to buy would make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be done at premiership level but at least he’ll work his bollocks off. Can put in a decent cross too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if Ritchie does feature. It's an emergency situation and that's what he's there for, similar to Dummett, who came in and did well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
