Michael Ricketts

[chips and gravy]

Haven't posted for ages since I don't have much to say now I don't go to games regularly. However, did manage to get to the Leeds game on Satdi and thought that Michael Ricketts looked like he had been training with Michael Mahoney-Johnson! He was the most useless striker I have seen in a long time - how the hell did he ever get to play for England?

He has potential ( i think )

He is just unfit and overweight

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

He played against us for Boro in that cup game and he was appalling then,so I dont think he will ever get fit,only fat on the wages you are paying him !!!!!

 

[TheWhiteRose_LUFC]

Only £7,500 a week

Weve got Johnson and Bakke sitting on the bench, both on £35,000 a week.

Shouldn't worry about that Mr and Gravy, match attendance or no match attendance, it doesn't seem to stop half the 'experts' on this board sharing their wisdom with us ...

Is the story about Risdale faxing an increased contract offer to Johnsons agent true, just because they did not get back quick enough with regards to the original offer?

In a way I feel sorry for all you genuine Leeds fans,

Risdale certainly f***ed you up big time didnt he!

That unbelievable. How close to that is the weekly wage of our 1st eleven that we put against them on saturday I wonder??

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I reckon its probably a fair bit more. There were 5 players who came through the youth ranks playing on saturday. I'm sure they're on fairly low wages...

 

[Starry]

Bakke and Johnson, while earning more than they should be aren't earning £70k p/w between them.

And yes, Ridsdale did offer a new deal before Johnsons agent got back with an answer to the original offer.

And Ricketts is useless. Won't be any good and if he doesn't want to play in the rain he came take a hike.

Anyhow, looks like he will get his marching orders soon so won't be our problem, praise the lord.

why is bakke only on the bench he is a class player

 

[Stumpy Tim]

why is bakke only on the bench he is a class player

I was thinking that. He's Premiership class

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

in the summer there was a few clubs after him
johnson is good aswell

 

[NickL]

Bakke is out for the whole season, after he damaged knee ligaments in pre season.
Unlucky for leeds, as he would of been a great player in this league.

Both Bakke and Johnson are injured. Johnson could be back in January, Bakke is out for the season barring a miracle.

 

[GUNTER]

Ricketts should never have left Bolton. He got too big for his boots, scored a few goals and thought he was god.

He is an average striker who looks as if he has enjoyed his new found wealth a bit too much.
