theessexfox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 From the time when we signed him, we couldn't have asked much more of him, he played his part at the time in a great Championship winning side, good luck to him.
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Great move for him. Same with Liam Moore, David Nugent etc. the club has just surpassed them now but played a massive part in where we are today.
The_77 Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Of course this thread is full of the same two-sentence analyses of RDL that have been beaten to death.
Babylon Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Sad to see players go who played a large part in where we are now.
MPH Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Always gave his best for us. Can only wish him well and all the best! Exactly the signing a team needs to make if they want to get out of the championship.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 All the best to him. He was a big part in one of my favourite ever squads to represent the club.
ealingfox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Good move for all parties and good to make a profit on him. Hasnt got the defensive nous to play at the level we are at now and questionable as a regular top-flight full-back, but very handy in the 2nd tier and a good pro. Always liked him and thankful for his solid contributions to a great period in our history. Best of luck to him. Also one of the best accents I've ever heard.

Fox92 Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Thanks for everything, and a crucial goal last season, but not good enough now so we move on.
MrSpaM Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Been a great servant to the club, haven't really got a bad word to say about him. Had some off games but was more often than not criticised harshly

Fox92 Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 We've done really well if we have got £2.5mill for him.
Guest Col city fan Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Good for RDL! He always gave us his all. Realistically I think upper Championship is is optimal level.

ajthefox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Always put a shift in and was exciting to watch bombing down the wing. Thanks for the service Ritchie and best of the luck at Villa.

Out Foxed Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Better de laet than never i kid, thanks for your service and good luck

I would say that 2.5m for a top 6 Championship / bottom 6 Premier League right back is bang on market value. It's a deal that suits both parties. If we were still a bottom 6 club then I would have wanted more.
SystonFox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 His goal vs Villa last year basically relegated them and won us the title. cheers Ritchie
desertfox2 Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Sad to see him go but shows how much we have come on. He deserves to be somewhere he will play week in week out. Never sulked or kicked up a fuss. Best of luck RDL (unless against us in future), great servant to the club.
Tielemans63 Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Best of luck to him. Seems like a good pro and a good bloke. Did a cracking job in the Champ but as others have said he struggled to make the step up. £2.5 million is good work.
Clever Fox Posted 23 August 2016 Posted 23 August 2016 Good luck Ritchie, Always thought you were more midfielder than a full back. Threatens so much going forward but never quite delivers as often as he should. We made a profit on him also which is nice to hear.
