hippy273 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11726/7778312/Ribeiro-open-to-Iron-return Fair play to him, i would have liked to have seen him play more for us but i guess he was just too injury prone. His back problem was what kept him off the pitch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 chances are that he will settle down and get over his injury complex become their player of the year and get sold to Wigan for 2 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 chances are that he will settle down and get over his injury complex become their player of the year and get sold to Wigan for 2 mill Or he will become injured within 3 games of the new season and be in and out of action for the remainder of his contract.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Or he will become injured within 3 games of the new season and be in and out of action for the remainder of his contract. Optimist, I'll give him 2 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 A worrying sign if even Ribeiro was on really high wages for us, didn't expect that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 "Saying that, he's taking a big cut [on his previous wage at Bristol City] to get down to those figures. But even that's more than we could afford." As BCFC Jordan says, that is a slightly worrying statement to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Who would be closer to home and offering him a deal.... Swindle? Yeovil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 over-rated big time imo, he was on about 2k a week that would be my guess, League one clubs can only spend x amount of money on wages can't they so they would be looking to offer 1k max me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 A worrying sign if even Ribeiro was on really high wages for us, didn't expect that! Perhaps that's a further reason the club made little effort to retain him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Who would be closer to home and offering him a deal.... Swindle? Yeovil? Maybe not that close - most places are 'closer to home' than S****horpe. I like Ribiero, and wish him well, but like most of the City squad he seems to have been on absolutely ridiculous wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsobigfatdave Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Perhaps that's a further reason the club made little effort to retain him To be honest I don’t think it was a question of that I don’t think he wanted to stay . Opportunities at the club were zero last season and Del obviously made him aware there was no future for him in his plans. He got a fine season under his belt injury free albeit on loan and impressed Knill and Abbott so it appears some Div. One clubs are interested in taking a punt. There are a few clubs with spondulicks to spend and as City rewarded 13 years loyalty boy and man with a free he can possibly afford to supplement his previous salary with the signing on fee in order to play regular football. Certainly it’s a risk but if he remains sound and has a good season his stock will increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecity86 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Would be a great signing for the iron if he stays fit, in reality though I can just see him on their treatment table for 2 seasons; too injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no opportunies to play 1st team football, seems like a sensible solution for club and player that he moved on. Looks like he has a number of offers on the table. Doubt he was big money (relative to the 1st team players) But with most clubs having to tighten their belts with smaller squads and lower average wages, assume a lot of players will have accept changes their pay . Hopefully he can continue last year's form and enjoy his football again. Think he showed his hunger to play by accepting loans so far afield.. Alan Knill seems to hold a very good opinion of him.

Aizoon Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just to say that I wish the lad well. I rated him, but that injury came at the worst possible time for his career. Yes, I know there's no good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
