Rumour -Matt Ritchie Swindon

Fri Jan 06, 2012 11:09 am

Just picked this up on a transfer rumour site that we are looking at this guy and may well table a bid. Swindon recently rejected a bid of £500K from Bournemouth so we will need to splash some cash if Malky feels this guy is the answer.

He's a 22 year old League 2 player with some limited premiership experience with Portsmouth - is this the winger we might be looking for but at what price.

99% of posts on that site are complete rubbish, or regurgitated from other sites posting complete rubbish.

I suppose it's a possibility, but if it were to require more than £500k I'm sure Malky would be looking for someone who all-but guarantees a big lift to the squad.

I tend to agree - at home with knackered ankle so bored searching sites - just been back on and if these rumours have any substance - Whittingham is off to Norwich having been spotted there today to be replaced by Andy Driver and its us or the Saints for Kebe as well as us in the running for Billy Sharp.

I don't think I'll let my curiosity get the better of me but i guess all inquiries have to start somewhere and given Malky's approach to scouting and looking at all aspects of a players abilities on and off its not unimaginable him and his team are looking at a whole range of players as first second or third options.
