Ritchie

[Cannylad]

It bothers me that there are still rumblings of Mat Ritchie being sold / swapped etc. His work rate alone says keep him, he never gives up which is job number one with me. Hope Rafa feels the same about him.

Don't worry, we'll replace him with Townsend

when you have,and will start the season with a championship squad then players like richie are essential.

if only we could compete with the brighton and huddersfields of the league,but when your the only club who does'nt get sky money then 1 in 1 out it is!
we dont get sky money right?....no we cant do,or we would invest it in trying to progress...not survive on a budget!

dont forget to get them hyked priced season tickets bought,i heare the SD slave labour are getting a rise and fat ash aint paying!

The blokes on a good contract here and has done the Championship thing. At his age why would he want to drop down again? It doesn’t make any sense. If we can’t bring 3/4 prem quality players in we’ll be rowing up hill again if £40m is all Rafa has so to sell someone like Ritchie would be suicide for what he brings even if he isn’t playing well.

Rafa has no choice if Ritchie leaves or not.If the offer is high enough,fatty will accept and take it out of everyone's hands.Done it before and he will do it again.15m over 4 or 5 years and put the fake loan up next year for the books.Jobs a good one.We are a selling club again.Get used to it.

If he goes, then we can assume that any of them could be away, Lascelles, Lejeune, Shelvey, if the price is right for the fat controller, absolutely ***** that we keep him imo

It so important we keep them all but unfortunately they all have a price.And it will be lower than we expect.Lets be honest though,if you played here with the lack of ambition and the way the club is run,would you honestly want to stay.

This.

Apparently £15 million for Ritchie but £30 million for Townsend.

**** right off.

[Zippity]

Surely no-one would pay £30 mil for Townsend.

Don't want the little tw@t back anyway. As pointed out, Ritchie dropped a division to play for us whereas Townsend fucked off at the first opportunity.
