Really not sure contracts work like that (unless the player concerned is a wilshere type with no options) obvs we don’t know what’s going on with Ricky - if he wouldn’t get through a medical then a clause could be inserted but even then that would surprise me.
HybridFox Posted 25 November 2021 Posted 25 November 2021 Was watching some goals from the 19-20 season and it makes me sad that we truly had a world class player pre injury. I think he's still an asset when fit but not sure he'll be able to shake off these niggles to hit those heights again 1

He was right on the precipice of being something extremely special. Hope that the Clubs loyalty to him will spur him on and show the rest of the players the sort of club we are 3

Could there have been a change in our training levels and we are now seeing the results in our play. .. I’m thinking they might have changed training methods to try and ensure we don’t run out of steam in the second half of the season like least 2 years. Problem is we aren’t good enough to be at 60% every game and it’s showing

The fact that we are still within reach of the top six, farcical as it may seem, it would set us up for a good end of season run.

He put in some absolutely majestic performances that season, and in fact at times, was our most attacking player. Its tragic for him that the injury hit him at his peak. 2
Christoph Posted 25 November 2021 Posted 25 November 2021 I think he's better when he has a winger in front of him though. When he's not being doubled up so much, he performs better imo. 2

He either picks up a niggle, gets dropped for something, or even at times moved to the left. He started this season like he was going to get back to his best, I still think he will... but the injuries really do keep holding him back. Edited 25 November 2021 by Lambert09 1

Easier said han done with his niggling injuries but the same player is still there imo.

Jaspa Posted 23 December 2021 Posted 23 December 2021 I'm sure when the event was over and pleasentries were being shown at the end of penalties, Ricky was on the pitch talking to the referee. I didn't see any sign of a leg brace, crutches or supports, so

lgfualol Posted 23 December 2021 Posted 23 December 2021 Bloke cant catch a break. Finally comes back and gets cropped by some 12 year old.

An Sionnach Posted 23 December 2021 Posted 23 December 2021 Ah for the days of bombproof players. It has to be said that our current lot are pretty brittle. Are they injury prone or over trained but we have got to get to the bottom of it. Ricky will probably be OK but OK is not really what we want. His great days may well be over.

Paninistickers Posted 24 December 2021 Posted 24 December 2021 Just posted on his insta. He's out for a while. But thankfully not season ending nor an acl. Poor fella seems a bit down. What a bum 2.5 seasons he has had. 2
