Sampson 3,184 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jobyfox 1,337 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox_up_north 704 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
l444ry 1,468 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HesNotGudjonsonn2 370 Posted 2 September 2020 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxes BC 26 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share Posted 2 September 2020 Ricardo will be a greater threat coming from deep and making overlapping runs. He will be marked out otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fox92 12,049 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share Posted 2 September 2020 He's the best right full back in the league. Leave him in that position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoxinNotts 1,704 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share Posted 2 September 2020 Why? Why change it. He’s one of the best at what he already does. ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxile5 2,704 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam 777 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manini 3,860 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share Posted 2 September 2020 (edited) 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. Edited 2 September 2020 by Manini Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxxed 4,396 Posted 2 September 2020 Report Share 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
