Matt Ritchie

[Finchley Seagull]

I was impressed by Ritchie but that is what Orlandi will provide when he gets back into the side. If you look at Orlandi and see how good he was for us last season but struggled in the Premier League, you realise what a big step up it is.

Matt Ritchie is just a shit Andrea Orlandi. I've seen a bit more of him, and heard a lot more about him, than most on here, and I'm not all that fussed. He flatters to deceive more often than not.

He looks a real class player, excellent passing at times. By a mile their best player. Would be nice to sign him but tbh should probably be in the premier league, has that level of quality about his game

Really? Majority of his passes went to one of our players. He's a poor man's version of Craig noone IMO.

Thought we deserved a point from watching the game live but on seeing the Football League show we were lucky to get a point.

He tormented our defence, if that game is anything to go by, has great vision like Vicente and we have no-one who can do that in the centre of the park.

Am I missing some sarcasm here?

Some of his defence splitting passes were total quality, not many players have the skill or vision to do that. Noone looks flash as hes very good at dribbling with the ball but little else really

And that nutmeg of Bridcutt towards the end... Not often Liam is made a fool of

Maybe get another one done for Tuesday then chook? You'll look even more amusing - as you get launched into the WSL wearing your drum.

He looked good and that after being out since April

I was lucky enough to hear his post-match interview when he was given the MOTM award in the Club's restaurant. I think he is a personification of the expression "his brains are in his feet". he wasn't the most articulate of young men.

 

[The Truth]

He's only 24. I wouldn't complain if we signed him in January.

The Ashley Barnes segment of that interview made Ritchie sound like Oscar Wilde

Seeing as Bournemouth paid the best part of a million for him when they were a third division side, I suspect they'll have pushed the asking price up rather significantly by then. They bought a striker (well, I say "striker", he looked a bit of a misfit to me) for a couple of million earlier this season too, which- regardless of how dodgy their funding may be- suggests they are in no position to have to sell.
