jam Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2008949,00.html I liked this bit: "For me personally it's going as expected and more, plus there's still a chance of the play-offs which would be amazing. I've been promoted before in a play-off final with Bristol Rovers and if today doesn't give us the incentive to get in there then I don't know what will."

chrisobee Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Which tends to confirm my belief that he'll be here next season at least He would have known promotion was a long shot but a trip to Wembley no matter what trophy it is still is a big occasion for players at this level. Nice that he says : "I can't praise my teammates anymore than I already have, because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to get as many goals as I have." Seems like a very realistic, well grounded player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Sounds like he's loving life. Go on Rickie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex2001 Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Seems like a very realistic, well grounded player. Thats what years of sloggin it out in the lower leagues will do to you, Rickie has worked massively hard to achieve what he has in the game and has never had anything just handed to him like some of the embaressments occupying the premier league and the papers these days. A real footballer and a real gent hope to see him fullfill his ambitions to play at a higher level by firing us back up the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 I'm chuffed to see him have the season he's had, from what I've seen and heard in interviews it couldn't of happened to a nicer bloke. Seems genuinely proud and grateful to be playing football for a living. Over hyped ****s like Beckford could learn a lot from Rickie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 My only concern is if a Prem side offers us 5 mill in the summer - would Rickie want to go? Would we want to sell? More specifically, would Markus and Nicola want to sell? They need a return on their investment outlay, and a 4 million profit on Rickie would be tempting.

No EPL club is going to take a £5mill punt on a 27yo L1 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to God he stays of course - but we're more likely to lose him (if atall) to a Championship side - such as West Ham - who will need a good stiker in that league next season. Can't see him going to Burnley or Hull if they go down...although he is from 'oop north' of course. As for Pompey; they couldn't afford his boot laces...

krissyboy31 Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 No EPL club is going to take a £5mill punt on a 27yo L1 player. The only ones that may, are the ones that will be battling relegation and likely to be back in the Championship the season after, in any case.

They'll all be desperate to spunk their money and some world cup "star". It happens every 4 years. IIRC the only EPL club to sign a L1 striker was us?

They would be in dire financial straits, having already cashed in on their season ticket sales for the next two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Mullet Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 yes but wouldn't they get tv money from Sky Yes, but given their overheads and lack of new money from season ticket sales they will be in real trouble. Mark my words, if West Ham go down they are really going to suffer. Certainly won't pose a threat to pinching our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
