Sampson Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Let's be realistic, even if he is "fit" in October time, it will still take him 2 or 3 months to fully recover after that from an ACL injury and his pace may never fully recover to the same level. We're likely not going to be seeing the best of Ricardo until January time either way.
Jobyfox Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 We need a decent winger to play with one of the best RB’s in the Premier League. Not shift him to a position where he doesn’t excel as much and then backfill the position he’s vacated

What happens next summer if he leaves? We're back to square one with no winger. Keep him at RB and sign a first choice winger asap
fox_up_north Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Ricardo is one of the best all round right backs in the world. It might be that, to give him minutes on injury return, he comes on for Perez and acts as a defensive wing when we're towards the end of a game. I thought it but FT put me right on it. He started as a RW, retrained as a RB and is comfortable there.
l444ry Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 If Brendan were to adopt the 3-4-3 system anytime then Ricardo would be the wide man. Can't understand all this play him right back or nowhere nonsense.

Can't understand all this play him right back or nowhere nonsense. There's a big difference playing him as a wide man in a three at the back system where defending is still important to playing him as an out and out winger with a defender behind him. We have a genuinely world class full back/wing back we should use him as one.
HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 2 September 2020 Author Posted 2 September 2020 Didn’t mean to start such a discussion. I merely meant I wouldn’t mind it if we didn’t sign a winger. I would prefer we did but if we didn’t then I wouldn’t mind seeing this.

Foxes BC Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Ricardo will be a greater threat coming from deep and making overlapping runs. He will be marked out otherwise.
Fox92 Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 He's the best right full back in the league. Leave him in that position.
coolhandfox Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Lets just let the bloke get fit first..........
BraunstoneFox23 Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Can’t wait to have him back! We’ve missed him big time.
Mawuli Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Ricardo on the wing Not something I wanna sing Keep him at right back Where he can come from deep and attack. Ohhhhhhh Ricardo
TrentFox Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Ricky. Rickyyyyy P. Rickkky Ppppp on the wing. It just doesn’t scan, does it? Keep him at FB.
FoxinNotts Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Why? Why change it. He’s one of the best at what he already does. !
foxile5 Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 To add nothing to the discussion but this - I absolutely love Ricardo. He's possibly the best player we've signed since Kante.
adam Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Makes sense. One of the best full backs in the league but we have fans who want to play him on the wing! Madness. I'd much rather we kept him where he is and purchased a winger.
HankMarvin Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Just now, Kingleicester said: No he’s a great left back, why change? Exactly

Guest Manini Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 Nah Was going to leave it at that but hardly adding to the discussion is it. I think by playing him further up the pitch you take away his available space to attack. Ricardo is so good playing from deep with the space in front of him to exploit. He’s a quality right back and he will continue to be one of the best in Europe in that position when he’s back from injury.
Fox92 Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 5 minutes ago, Stadt said: Ricardo's amazing but TAA is on another planet, he scored or assisted 17 goals last season. haha yeah I'll give you that one. I meant second best*.
Foxxed Posted 2 September 2020 Posted 2 September 2020 If we emulate last season and again fail to purchase a proper winger it’s worth a shot but maybe we could buy a winger. It’s not like we don’t have the money, or potential players are worried about being overshadowed by Gray, Albrighton and Diabate. I have a worry that Bren plans on flooding the pitch with wide wing-back in lieu of a proper winger this season, in what would either be a wonderful, or awful, plan. It would certainly give us the element of bewildered surprise.
