Albion set to sign Ridgewell

[8ace]

Wait, have I missed something? What's with the dislike towards Ridgewell?

Some people like to rim Calderon at any possible opportunity.

I wasn't impressed with him against Huddersfield, but the evidence is he's played 2 games, we've only shipped one goal and won them both. Admittedly, he appeared to be much happier tucking in to a left sided 3rd CB role: when ever he ventured towards the touchline he had a nosebleed rush of blood.

I'm sure we will all be much happier when we can get Bong back.

He was directly responsible for that 'one goal'.

He also played at Rotherham, was very poor, and contributed directly to one of the goals we conceded.

Fair enough!

I stand by my final statement anyway!

Hi Hans, I totally agree with all your issues on this post.
Just keeping himself fit and uninjured for his return to Parent club.
Should have cut out that cross for the Huddersfield goal.
At the moment I cannot even see why we want to extend his loan.

I have only 1 issue with your post I think that he should have prevented the cross rather than cutting it out which would have been by better positioning that a left back would have taken up he was sucked into the centre of the box a you would expect a CB to be. I agree on every other point in your post.

Personally having sent Chicksen out on loan I would prefer us to bring in an established or young left back who can offer both cover and competition to Bong and not rely on LR or Calderon being able to cover if needed.

Are they getting less rain than Carlisle if so can understand him wanting to move.

I don't particularly DISLIKE Liam Ridgewell, but I've seen no evidence that he CARES about our club's fortunes. We're facilitating a paid holiday for him, so he can spend time in the UK and see his kids.

I do very much however, DISLIKE the notion of us signing him. Because he's not very good.

All of this - only other point perhaps is that his experience/organisation possibly helped Dunk and Goldson in GG's absence but difficult to value that from the stands.

Ridgewell was never going to be any sort of answer, except as very short term cover to an injury crisis. Come to think of it, this pretty much sums up 90% of short term loan signings.

I had higher expectations from him, but playing in the Disney league has addled his brain.

He's slow, massively limited and doesn't look particularly bothered.

My thoughts exactly. The missus also added, when she overheard him on Player, he sounds a bit thick.

Holiday ?

Well, he is here actually playing, so 'holiday' wasn't fair.

Basically, Portland are not going to let him just skip pre-season and lie on a beach, but are happy to have his wages covered, while we keep his fitness levels up.

He in return gets to miss the dull and hard work of pre-season, and to see his kids in England.

We get his contribution on the pitch.

In my personally opinion, we are not getting the best of the deal.

 

[BensGrandad]

The worry is he only has next season in the MSL then he is out of contract so CH could sign him permanently.

Really!

 

[Rogero]

He is just getting back up to speed. Be patient.

He's played four games of the six he's here for!
