Title: Fulham Bid £6.3 Million for Matt Ritchie
Post by: Mince n Tatties on January 07, 2015, 09:17:26 AM
It has to be true its on The Football League Rumours Page.
Billybob86 I wonder if he posts on here under different name, he must lie awake all
night thinking these up.I know there are rumours regarding Ritchie but the guy
is Hillarious with what he puts on that page all the time.. 064.gif

I like the player but for 6.3 Million, it seems a bit steep. I am sure there are better options out there for this sort of money.

Ritchie would be a fantastic signing, but the chances of him joining are slim to none.....

Lot of money for a player whos only experience of the championship prior to this season was 5 games back in 2010-11. I cant see us spending that kind of figure at all this january(unless we sell someone for a decent fee), let alone on one player.

I believe that any such fee would likely be loaded with clauses, so a total of £6million plus would rely on us getting back to the Premiership and the player making it into the national squad, that type of thing.

Im sure that must have been the first figure that came into Billybobs
head when he was dreaming it up..
It is strange that Bet Victor has opened a book on it though.Agree about
price £3.5 would be about limit.

I think one of the brightest talents in England is ASHLEY BARNES of Burnley.  While the media becomes obsessed with writing about the "washed up" Steven Gerrard, Barnes escapes any attention yet he would be one of my first names picking an England team.

The days when Fulham could cherry pick players from Burnley are long gone and even a huge financial incentive would not be able to pry him from the Premiership to our league, but if they fail to survive we should keep an eye out for a quality individual.

Barnes is a great little player, and should Burnley go down I fully expect him to be snapped up, IF however they go down and nobody picks him up, we could use our powers to lure him away then....

Another winger is pretty key for next season, although we could get away with it this season in LVC or Tunni.....and Kaca on the other side.

Am I right in saying Mr Passley is playing right wing for Shrewsbury? He seemed to play there in the last game

He seems to be shown as RM (which I believe is sometimes referred to as right wing in modern parlance) or, more likely as RWB. I believe they played Grimmer like this, too.

As you know Passley has most of the credentials necessary for a winger. I've seen him play there to good effect a couple of times.

It also seems that teams like Bournemouth, who are currently punching above their weight, have also become slightly deluded whilst basking in their glory. In some ways, I do agree with what they say, Matt Ritchie can go up with Bournemouth this season, but he'll have a torrid time whilst they get ripped apart every week. I'm sorry, but even though we're having a bad/poor season, and the Club is currently going through a transition, you seriously can't compare the two. Let's look at this realistically, we can offer double the wages, the pull of London, a better platform for Premiership football, and we're just simply a much bigger Club. The way they talk about "Seriously, Fulham??" is like they've forgotten we've just had 13 years in the top flight.

The pull of living in London or the New Forest, it's a no-brainer! Apart from that I agree.

After our experience leaving the ground Scott I can assure you they have a lot of deluded fans who have forgotten our 13 years in the top flight, if they go up it will be the end of their club, they have a tiny ground, cannot cope with a 10 k gate at present so would have to move and spend millions to have 1 year in the prem because that is all they would get.Don't see them even going up this season as teams who have played them once will know what to expect next time around, we countered them very well in the second half but the early goal was the difference

He played RWB and by many accounts wasn't very good. They rated Grimmer a lot lot lot higher than Passley

See that Bournmouth have made a £2 bid for Demacia Grey at Brum. Have really rated him and some of the prem clubs have been linked. Feel that if he does not lose focus  is a top winger/forward in the future.
Although he is mostly left sided, are Bournemouth already covering Ritchie, or more likely picking up a gem while they can.

The early goal was not the only difference. Bournemouth missed about half a dozen really good opportunities...we had one all game. Bournemouth had extended spells, including parts of the second half, when they looked considerably better than us. We had a decent 10 minute spell after Marcus saved the penalty. But even in possession, we created next to nothing in the final third...and we were (with good fortune) 1-0 down.  If we had lost 4 or 5-0 we could not have had complaints. From where I was sitting,we were mullered by a much better team.

Why would Ritchie, in his right mind, want to move from a high flying team with serious promotion prospects,to a club with  relegation issues?

Makes zero sense.
