Uptherams Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 When you look at the Ritchie "highlights" video on YouTube, he doesn't come across as special. Whereas Johnny has a special quality in his instinctive finishing (for instance the one from Thorne's threaded pass last year). We've not seen the best of JR because we play him out of position to fit into our system, but I'd say his time will come. But we can't buy everyone and the squad is already beginning to look large. Of course I trust the management team to make the right call whether it's: stick as we are swap Russell for Ritchie bring Ritchie in to swell the numbers I'd prefer option 1, but I've not particularly noticed Ritchie - maybe he's simply too good not to go for. If it's option 3, I don't understand going for Ibe. Yep...specialist. Just another hit and hope player from the looks of it. My question would be do they think he is better than Calero and Santos? If the answer is no or not for long then why bother? Same goes with Mason. This is not a loan. If he signed a 3-4 year contract where would he fit in?

Anag Ram Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I would say that given we are debating between Hughes, Eustace and Mascarell for the holding midfield role, that's the position we should be filling until Thorne's return. Time to go back in for Nathan Ake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How much is he worth? 850k max? Tomorrow should be an interesting day anyrode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but one on ones are meat and drink for strikers (which he is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'd rather swap Dawkins out myself, but it occured to me that letting one of the winf forwards go might just out a bit of a rocket up the butt of the squad - as in keeping the group, but if there's better than you we can bring in a replacment. Dawkins is good technically, but for never quite produces a good enough final ball - always cut in, run at defence, lose posetion. I know JR aint perfect, but I just never think anything's going to come of it when Dawkins gets the ball, at least with JR you get the odd shot or cross that does something. Can't help but think that Keogh and Bryson have half a mind on Burnley and the PL, for different reaons though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaphaRam Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This sounds alrate. Could we have some excitement on the final day of the window for the first time ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Said it before, Jonny Russell is really overrated by our lot. I've never seen Ritchie play, but judging by the quotes on here it's as if we're contemplating trading Cristiano Ronaldo for Ashley Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm amazed we haven't dipped into the Eredivise yet through SM links, For another Van Der Laan, Gooloze or Ron Willems type.

EastKentRam Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I really hope this goes through, always looked class whenever I've seen him, better than Russell. From reading their forum they seem to think he's their best/one of their best players. This a team that finished, what? 8th, 9th last season and finished really strongly.

RaphaRam Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 #dcfc have been working on move for Matt Ritchie but Eddie Howe adamant he wants winger to stay at Bournemouth. Not a goer as stands. - Laurie Whitwell (Midlands Football for Daily Mail)' 'A top source close to Eddie Howe tells 5Live's @chrisdotlatchem: "There is no chance of Matt Ritchie going anywhere." So that's that. #AFCB' I've also just been reading a Bournemouth forum. "Eddie Howe will not sell" "Derby Forest is the biggest rivalry in the country" "Why would he go to Derby? He could do better" And finally, the classic... "Derby aren't a big club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Said it before, Jonny Russell is really overrated by our lot. Scores goals, creates chances, nice working relationship with the rest of the team... Ronaldo he ain't but the qualities above are pretty good for a championship AM/Winger...

t'oldu Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Stand off n both sides then....................................who will capitulate first? Swap could well be the conclusion if they want a striker and we want a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
