Saint-Armstrong Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Is 28 year old Winger/Striker Rohan Ricketts on his way to Saints? As you may, or may not have seen, Rohan was answering questions on whether he was coming to us. Just a reminder from last week: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rohan Ricketts RT @stewartmcalpine: @RohanRicketts get yourself to southampton, great club n facilities! Would b great to see you play here! 27 May Link: http://twitter.com/#!/RohanRicketts/status/74070639761293312 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rohan Ricketts RT @danbsfc: @RohanRicketts Would love to see ya at Southampton! Make it happen! 27 May Link: http://twitter.com/#!/RohanRicketts/status/74104272656150529 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And then today: Rohan Ricketts Got a imprtant meeting tomorrow about my future in English football. Let's see what it brings. Fully Focused on the work ahead. 18 hours ago (28 May) Link: http://twitter.com/#!/RohanRicketts/status/75337082788257792 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He may just be talking himself up, but he has said no to other fans asking if he is joining their team. Maybe he just shares the same agent as another Saints player, and they are touting him around?? Anyway just thought I'd post it for those who aren't on Twitter or following Rohan Ricketts. (@RohanRicketts) Clubs: Arsenal Tottenham Hotspur Coventry City Wolverhampton Wanderers Wolverhampton Wanderers Queens Park Rangers (loan) Barnsley Toronto FC Diósgyőri VTK Dacia Chişinău SV Wilhelmshaven Total: Career Appearances - 153 Career Goals Scored - 7 FWIW I wouldn't want him, we can do much better than him, and already have better. A definite no-no IMO.
SaintRichmond Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 I agree Far too many Clubs and not enough Games Anyway, nobody wants Rickets in the 21st Century .....
stevegrant Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He's terrible. There's a reason he's been playing in the German Third Division this season.
S-Clarke Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 (edited) Awful player, think Ryan Smith...but worse. If we sign him I'll start to worry about Adkins eye for a player!!! (If it is indeed Adkins eyes that are being used...) Edited 31 May, 2011 by S-Clarke
Saint-Armstrong Posted 31 May, 2011 Author Posted 31 May, 2011 He's not too good at predictions either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey_0Du6B3xc
saint lard Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Awful player, think Ryan Smith...but worse. If we sign him I'll start to worry about Adkins eye for a player!!! (If it is indeed Adkins eyes that are being used...) Well,i am......no,i won't go there...
fish fingers Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He's terrible. There's a reason he's been playing in the German Third Division this season. and Moldova last season.
James Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Hope he's not on his way. We can do much better than him. Moved on wherever he's been. Must be a reason for that.
dune Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He sounds like a disease associated with a vitamin D deficiency. No thanks.
benjii Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He's waiting to see if the Owen deal falls through and whether Paul Hart will get on the bus.
FMPR Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He wanted £10k a week at Pompey and thats when Cotterill told him to fook off
saint lard Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He's waiting to see if the Owen deal falls through and whether Paul Hart will get on the bus. He will have to wait,Micheal is on hols for 10 days as of this morning.
Dalek2003 Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Absoulte Kack ! If we sign him I would say we are building for a future in League 1 !
benjii Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He will have to wait,Micheal is on hols for 10 days as of this morning. Yes, but we are sending a taxi driver to deposit the contract in his hotel's safe. I know this because my mate, who works in large scale haulage (shipping ships, cars... that kind of thing) was hired to transport a taxi (and driver) from St Mary's to Dover for onward carriage to Europe.

Ahh,thanks for the clarification....however,he has gone to Dubai.I would txt your mate sharpish.
Crazy Diamond Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 I actually know the bloke who runs Rohan Rickett's new website, Column 10. He might even be on this forum.
SNSUN Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 He sounds like a disease associated with a vitamin D deficiency. No thanks. Although I hear Bob Herpes could really do a job for us.
sammysaint Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Hes not a bad player IMO better then DNG would be a good back up to Lallana and Chambo if they were injured, we have to remember these two will be one of best wingers in this league so whos gonna come in whos better then these two.

I'm better than DNG and I'm shít at football. If we sign Rohan f*****g Ricketts alarm bells are going to be ringing very loudly indeed.
RobM Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 It's nice to be back in a position where being associated with us, whether made up or real, is seen as a positive career move. Can't blame a lad for dreaming.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Apparently he was co winner of the Canadian Golden Boot in 2008 with 2 goals. The highest ever number of goals scored to win this prestigious award is 3. Hopefully they'll be no Canadian strikers on the HCDAJFU list. They must all wear those solid gold boots that the Goodies had to wear when the Commonwealth Games took place on August Bank Holiday Island.
LGTL Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 (edited) Some utter berk keeps "talking" to him on twitter suggesting Saints. Sums up some of our moronic fans. Edited 31 May, 2011 by LGTL
1976_Child Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 7 goals? Fonte does better than that in one season FFS
RedAndWhite91 Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Hey @ConnorArmstrong, is this a dead cert, just like Nathan Tyson and Brian Howard were?!
saintjay77 Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 I kind of get the idea that if he concentrated on footy he could be ok. Obviously had something to come through the arse and spuds but always seems to concentrate on blabbing his mouth off and maybe his face just won't fit anywhere. The last thing I read from him was about how he and his mates were the best players in some Moldovan? team but went getting paid or something. The way he put it might be correct and he may have been unfairly treated but how many times can his life fall to bits and it still be everyone else's fault? If he does come to us then I will back him as I trust those in charge will believe he has a future and can work out. I think he has more work ahead of him than he might realise if he has a chance if making it and I think he would soon fall out with Cortese if he thinks he can carry on acting like a reporter via his site. Can't see it happening though
norwaysaint Posted 31 May, 2011 Posted 31 May, 2011 Obviously had something to come through the arse S******
Saint-Armstrong Posted 31 May, 2011 Author Posted 31 May, 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/RohanRicketts/status/75696660923158528 He's saying he's on the way to UK and Saints are a major possibility.
SFCDan Posted 1 June, 2011 Posted 1 June, 2011 and Moldova last season. And the Hungarian Second Division months before.
SaintNeil90 Posted 1 June, 2011 Posted 1 June, 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/RohanRicketts/status/75696660923158528 He's saying he's on the way to UK and Saints are a major possibility. He is just marketing himself. Most articles theses day about so and so interested in signed player x are written by agents to generate interest. He is doing similar with twitter.
ThreeSixty Posted 1 June, 2011 Posted 1 June, 2011 Was very good for spurs for a while. Wonder were it all went wrong.
ToreSF Posted 1 June, 2011 Posted 1 June, 2011 This is just another Phil Brown... No way we'll sign him.
shurlock Posted 1 June, 2011 Posted 1 June, 2011 If there were any legs in this story, the first thing NC would have done would have been to tell this div in no uncertain terms to keep his mouth shut.

This! For all the reasons in the world that it could happen the 1 reason that means it won't happen is he can't keep quiet.
