fox_up_north Posted 14 June 2021 Posted 14 June 2021 Oh he was top tier. If you'd have said in summer 2021 he'd be on his way to Barcelona, Man City or PSG, I wouldn't have been surprised. Doubt those moves would be on the cards now. Not for him to be first team, mega money signing.

iancognito Posted 14 June 2021 Posted 14 June 2021 (edited) A vid of some of his PT work. Weights and running for the last few days solid. I'd say he wants his place back. Go Ricky P https://imgur.com/nZV3727 Edited 14 June 2021 by iancognito 1

Not for him to be first team, mega money signing. From a purely selfish point of view scenarios like this aren't a bad thing for us as a club. Similar to Maddison. If he carried on what he was at the start of the season and was at the Euros now they'd be a big chance he's gone. As it stands we have a player certain to stay who we know can be class. If we had all these players at their absolute peak we probably wouldn't keep any.
st albans fox Posted 15 June 2021 Posted 15 June 2021 In the last couple games when he came on as a sub, Ricky showed more aggression than the rest of the lads put together! id say he is desperate to get himself back to his best - whether his knee will allow is the question 2
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 June 2021 Posted 15 June 2021 I just thought he looked shot and shorn of confidence towards the end. He looked as frustrated as we felt. I do hope alongside the physio, someone gets in his ear (sports psych) and reminds him he can be absolutely boss. A big injury lay off, when your a gazelle, must be hard to take. He was used to skinning full backs for fun. And then he returns and it wasn't clicking. Come back the real Riccy P.
Sly Posted 15 June 2021 Posted 15 June 2021 If the Portugal squad gets wiped put by positive COVID tests, so Portugal start making replacement cal ups?
Clever Fox Posted 15 June 2021 Posted 15 June 2021 With Castgne's injury and JJ not back until possibly November we really need Ricky back to his best from the start of the Season. I guess it's Ricky and Thomas as our full backs to start the season, Unless we sign Bertrand , Which will be a little hard on Thomas.

Foxxed Posted 15 June 2021 Posted 15 June 2021 Castange, Ricardo and Thomas with Justin slowly coming back after Christmas seems alright to me.

I hope you are both right. We're talking about 7 to 8 weeks time then there's training to consider as he will be behind the rest of the squad. Let's hope he has no complications as we need all our best players available.

Seeing that familiar blur racing up and down the pitch again. Him and Justin so important to the way we play. Amazing to think of what we'll do with out all the injuries.

Popular Post The whole world smiles Posted 5 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 5 July 2021 (edited) From the looks of his Instagram he has trained like an absolute demon this summer. He's looked like a boxer in camp for a big fight and pre season hasnt started yet! We will see in August if he still has it. But If it's not there after his horrific injury it's certainly not from a lack of effort on his part. If he wants inspiration he only needs look at luke shaw who was out for longer than him and is now playing the best football of his career. Edited 5 July 2021 by The whole world smiles 11

It would be a major help to his confidence also if he got asked to play in his strongest position too. He's a team man and although he was out, JJ makes reference to the help and encouragement given to him by Ricardo. That to me is brilliant attitude. 7
Blue ROI Posted 5 July 2021 Posted 5 July 2021 Ricardo wasn't anywhere near his outstanding form of the previous 2 seasons but you could tell the injury was still getting the better of him. You couldn't fault him for effort. Would be brilliant to get some of his old form back. A beast on the right side.

Ric Flair Posted 5 July 2021 Posted 5 July 2021 Saw a glimmer of hope when he came on away at Chelsea in the league that he's about had enough of being on the periphery and will be relentless again next season. 3
FoxOnWheels Posted 5 July 2021 Posted 5 July 2021 If pre injury Ricardo comes back this be like signing a world class right back aswell the was phenomenal before his injury one of the best around
