I do like Ritchie but he is limited, I think his best football is played in the championship, that's not saying he cant do it in the premier league, he's just not as effective, it will be a shame to see him go but he's the sort that would need to move on eventually, ideally he would be good as a squad player but we just arent in a position to afford thatEdison Heisen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 11:08 amApparently Palace are willing to sell him for £18m, and the deal is dependent on us getting £15m for Ritchie.
Whilst Townsend is an upgrade on Ritchie, it rankles me we're having to sell to buy. It would be nice if we could just buy Townsend and keep Ritchie for squad depth, especially since Ritchie is a workhorse who rarely picks up injuries and undoubtedly was one of our more consistent players last season.
Can he even wipe his own ass?Blještav Benny wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:50 amI like Ritchie but I wouldn't be against that.Speedo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:40 amRumours this morning of us going for Andros Townsend for £18-25m and selling Ritchie for £15m... big shame to lose Ritchie to fund it but on balance probably a decent piece of business. Just a shame we can't sell Murphy for anything approaching similar money...
Murphy just needs time. Young player, adapting to the PL, getting used to living away from home for the first time, let's give him a chance. Any one of us moving from one end of the country to another at that age would take time to settle.
Ive had a few run ins with Mark Douglas and Luke Edwards, you always know you are hitting the nail on the head when they let themselves get wound up when you call them on their ****Edison Heisen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 3:17 pmLove how fuming the NE journos are that they didn't have a f***ing clue we were signing Ki but don't want to admit it. Every article now prefaced with 'As we reported back here etc.' (Toure) or 'this story is nothing new, we knew this all along guys' (Townsend).
They have such fragile egos journalists. Very weird bunch. Never known an industry that seemingly believes it is above criticism as much as print journalism.

Yeah but to be fair with it being west ham once they are out the club the flash guy turns and asks if she will pay for the taxi home and it turns out he was trying to be flash to impress all his mates, she slaps him and goes elsewhere because they are just as bigger frauds as us in the marketComing It's Home wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 12:03 am
My point was more about the apparent amount West Ham have bid. It's like seeing a decent lass in a club, eyeing her up a bit, only for some southern wanker flash the cash and buy her some posh bubbly. We might well be keen, but not quite in the race.
