James_lcfc Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I’m sad enough to have watched many a wingers highlight reel - Never seen one that cuts the cross/pass out of almost every clip though - That is a tad worrying! Looks a confident player though, and he quite clearly has a very good turn of pace. Could be exciting to watch, could be unbelievably frustrating. Let’s roll that dice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliFOXnia Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Have to say I'd be more excited sat in the waiting room of a brothel and having Deidrie Barlow walk out than I am about this. Can see him having the same effect on the Championship as Deidrie would on the old 1 wood as well... FLOP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I think it's an important position to fill. As those strikers need feeding. But from what I've read. Stats and all. This smells like a - nah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcfc-1992 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I like the look of him, reminds me abit of Lookman. Pace and willing to take players on which is something we lack massively 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Albrighton wasn't rated. Premier League and FA Cup winner. Signing wingers is hit and miss. Give the bloke a chance. His stats suggest he either has potential or he used to have potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing wingers isn’t hit or miss, it is just they need to be scouted well and ensure they fit in with what we need. No different to any other player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I feel Ricardo can get back to himself and can fill in at right wing, always felt if he stayed fit he is more than capable playing in a more attacking role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Don’t get any positive vibes here, would rather loan a Man City winger or up and coming players like Burnley had in Benson/Zaroury. We really seem to have no idea when it comes to forwards it’s no wonder none work and we just end up with Albrighton year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same age as Mavididi and pripr to coming to Burnley his record in Belgium was pretty average, average about a goal every 4 games in an inferior league. Mavididi was very good in a decent league until a few years ago, I'm concerned about his drop off but he was capable before then and the level we're at he'd have excelled in. Now not so sure, I'd want this to be a nominal fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxOnWheels Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Looks to have all the tools to be a success, a good manager gets players like this to their best! He’s quick, good dribbling can shoot seems to have an eye for a cross/ pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over the years we have bought some of the most creative and best forwards, okay we haven’t signed that exciting player yet but I have faith that we will get what is needed.
