But if it is someone he's lookin to bring in we're goin to have a real struggle next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyderman Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Crikey, why does every half baked rumour have to turn into a 'we will struggle/ not good enough' thread? Do we have any actual evidence of this? After all, when players have trained with us in the past the official site has reported it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Bizarrly...this is definitely true! Trained with the first team squad today along with a greek trialist, who i don't know anything about. Not sure that we'd wanna sign him however, Adebola is a better player for my money. Don'y really know whether we're interesting on signing him, or whether we're just helping him regain his fitness. Strange huh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I was watching sky sports news and there was footage of city training and i did see 2 unfamiliar faces with the squad which is perhaps Ricketts and this Greek trialist you are suggesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 There can be few players in the entire history of football whose stock has risen and fallen so quickly!! If GJ thinks Michael Ricketts is worth a look so be it, but agree that it's hard to see him offering more than Adebola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton boy Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was watching sky sports news and there was footage of city training and i did see 2 unfamiliar faces with the squad which is perhaps Ricketts and this Greek trialist you are suggesting Whilst not doubting the efficacy of your statement - why would he be training with us???? He must live MILES away - so why train in Bristol, there must be clubs closer to home where he can train, so if he is training with us then GJ must be keeping his strikers options open and actually looking at him as to a potential signing(hope not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunningdalered Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ricketts / Phillips... at least their travel costs to the training ground would be susbsidised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 from wikipedia- Michael Ricketts, officially the worst football player to represent england, this includes Zat Knights appearance in the recent tour to the Americas if you ever have an argument about a player eg. Andy Johnson and need the best comeback when they say "he played for england, he cant be sh!t" just say michael ricketts played fo england never fails was it svendo or keegan? must have been svendo! legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsene Wenger spent £9million on him... Football is strange. And Rickettes had a monster year, Sven was right to have a look (15 goals by feb), and right to discard him utterly.

Rivercider Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was told about Ricketts yesterday and yes it seems he is training with us apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 oh dear please say its just for fitness not even the gas would sign him he opitomises the word 'sh*tbag' perhaps GJ has brought him in to show the players what can happen after you have one good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilksy Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think everybody is being a bit harse. Granted he's not as exciting as some of the players we've been linked with, but he's free and would be on a low wage. If we can get him fit, you never know, he's done it in the past. You've gotta trust GJ's judgement, if he doesn't see what he likes, Ricketts will be let go before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilksy Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Theres some bloke in the training pics who looks like Vasko... I don't think thats Ricketts Checked the squad number, and it looks like it could be James Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastcityfan Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 This is what the bolton fans think of Mr Ricketts http://www.bolton.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=114292 Quite amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 "Right guys, you think you're too big for this club, you could end up like that bloke..." I assume that's why he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
