Winger on loan from Vale for the season
Welcome Rico, I’m sure you’ll do your best to make an impact.
Lives in Great Barr apparently. Maybe Sadler met him in the Scott Arms.

Good luck to the kid, can’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed with this one though.
He does, my brother knows his cousin from school.

Looking forward to seeing what the young lad brings to the team, welcome Rico. Ps the last Rico we had wasn’t too shabby!!
Rico Browne? 
Browne?
Henry…
Further opens the possibility of us moving to the box midfield he seems more suited to that.
Would think that’s something we may try tommorow

I agree we now have 4 attacking midfielders . This lad , Holman , Jellis and Maher. We have strength at wing back too. Interesting times !

And Adomah can play there
Clarke too?
Lakin plays as the left ‘8’ too.
Who is going to miss out? There’s going to be some unhappy players.

This signing has made me angry.. not the player itself just the fact he is an attacking midfielder but we are trying to portray him as a striker which he isnt.. we never seem to just speculate do we.. we are smallsal

Don’t think anyone has portrayed him as a centre forward
Walsall official site are showing him his goals.. they must think hes a striker orherwise i cant understand why they havent signed a striker.. even more bizarre is we let a striker go first
Are you not annoyed with constant failure to compete?
Welcome to the Saddlers Rico - hope you’re good at scoring goals…
Nah, he will be to busy playing the last 20 as striker. Or the full 90 if we get injuries.
Annoyed at not signing a striker? Yes
Like i said about half an hour ago in the transfer thread, there’s not alot wrong with the squad of players we have, early results have been good.
Rico Richards is a decent player, last two season he’s been at clubs that got automatically promoted, so he must have something about him.
The lack of an incoming striker is strange though.
