stan hibbert 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yeah probably we do....i remember posting at the time of his departure that i was glad to see the back of him and i still think it was the right thing to do as he was losing the plot and becoming a liability...allied with the fact he never kicked a ball last season...but if there was one thing nando had and that was presence...defence or midfield he let the opposition know he was there...i preferred him in midfield as i thought he was too slow as a RB...but maybe he would provide us with a bit of steel sadly missing from the team right now and take the pressure off ferguson to win the ball....anyway its a moot point as he wont be back...but just a thought that wandered into my cranium... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It depends which Ricksen turns up - the idiotic, slightly psychotic thug, the lazy, uninterested passenger or the passionate, determined, inspirational leader. He's too much of a Jekyll and hyde player but if it was the latter player who inspired us to helicopter sunday, then yeah we miss him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 yes i think we are missing him it would be great if he was playing right back for us hopefully le guen will keep nando when he comes back 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,663 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Here's me thinking Ricksen had questionable loyalty, awful positioning, poor discipline, was inconsistent, contributed to a terrible domestic season and was overall a very average player - now people want him back? Same goes for Lovenkrands, Soti, Andrews or any player of recent years. I know we're doing badly at the moment and sure the existing guys have hardly been superb but let's look forward not back at players who were epitomy of inconsistency and underachievement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,663 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ricksen would not improve our team one iota. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderslieblue 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ricksen being out improves the team. I never, at any time, rated him in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan hibbert 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm beginning to think bert konterman would improve this team;-) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 He, like Soti, was a car crash waiting to happen on the pitch. Apart from when his contract was about to run out obviously and then the other Ricksen turned up. No way we need him back, there's no-one here just now with as bad an attitude problem as he has. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
