Ricardo Pereira

[CrazyKopCorner]

You can't talk highly enough of Ricardo ability, attitude, commitment, leadership by example and sheer quality. 

 

A Muzzy like influence on the team. 

 

 

[Brizzle Fox]

Comfortably our best and most important player.

 

However as he's made of Quavers it must be a nightmare for any manager to properly manage his game time.

 

Should play 90 mins every week but we know that's not really possible.

A Diamond for this league

Yep.. id start him take the lead and then bring Hamza on to see the game out.

 

We are really going to struggle to play Martis style if we start with 2 full backs like Thomas and Hamza who dont overlap or contribute to the attack.

Seems like it although the way we controlled the ball under Enzo meant that he managed a lot of playing time that season.

Needs to be aluko on the left and Ricardo on the right.

 

Aluko has the defensive capabilities and the ability to carry and dribble the ball that we need at fullback.

Our best finisher, ruthless he is

[VLC86]

Not sure i mentioned it here or not but a few weeks ago I said he easily scores 10 If he stays fit all season. Marti likes attacking fullbacks and he is the best in the league by a country mile.

They edited out the bit where Vestergaard's mutt attacks Ricky P's dog and Ricky tries to separate them and gets injured for the rest of the season.

Really? His song was sung at Oxford. One of our few original songs, without an expletive and very easy to pick up

We're in love with Ricardo ooooooooooooooooo

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

What an honest professional he is, I would imagine he’s a great person to have around and has always respected the club. 
Id like to see him start more games but he’s doing well as an impact substitute.

I think he’s key to the spirit in the squad. 

[Stadt]

His deal is up at the end of the year. Should offer him a year with a club option to extend for a further year now - even if he can only play 50% of th minutes it's worth having him around if the wages aren't too unreasonable. We've been great to him given his injuries.

[Jobyfox]

In terms of LCFC right backs is he the GOAT?

 

In my years watching the team (since 1986) I think he is

Comfortably the best in my LCFC lifetime and I go back to 1978

Similar timespan to you and it's not even close. In terms of ability/impact, peak Ricardo is at number 2 all time for me behind Kante (don't worry, Vardy is quite clearly still the GOAT in terms of Leicester players but I think those 2 guys were better footballers, just got nothing on him in terms of longevity, backstory and the full journey). If he hadn't got crocked, no way he wouldn't have been playing for the big boys now. 

 

He's a shadow of the player he was but still has so much class and you see flashes of where he's a cut above most players, and I'm talking about playing in the PL as well.

I started watching Leicester in 93 and In terms of quality for me he is too. Kaamark is probably 2nd IMO.

[daddylonglegs]

It cannot be exaggerated how good he was prior to that leg breaker at Anfield (yellow card by the way). 

 

Assuming we'd have been able to keep hold of him (Highly unlikely) - if he had stayed fit 2021-2023, absolutely no chance do we get relegated.

[Gloria]

I assume his injuries are why we still have him, otherwise he'd easily have moved on and up to regular CL football. Great pro. Seems a nice guy. Isn't a ***** like some former captains that spring to mind 😜

Depends on how much he would want. We can’t be throwing £50k + a week to a bit part player. If he’s happy with £25-30k then absolutely.

It's Ricardo way out in 1st with Simpson, Kaamark and Justin behind him IMO.

 

Although I think you could argue that Justin's best games were at leftback. Also his drop off goes against him.
