Sounds like another really astute piece of business, a player with huge upside potential who will add a great deal to the group.
He will bring creativity in the final third as well as, not in replacement of, goals and assists.
He’s very athletic with a good left foot, good quality in the penalty area and he likes to create with his ability to dribble and drive past a player.
Sounds tremendously exciting and potentially a real crowd pleaser.
I’m happy enough signing this lad I think it’s a good signing only issue with it you can see him going back in January.
Another player with the ‘potential’ tag. OK, play well and show the world how good you can be. Or not. Class always beats potential.
For all those moaning he’s a winger and not a striker - some of us ‘old uns’ will recall a certain Darren Wrack. He wasn’t a stiker, but still chipped in with 14 goals on 98/99 season.
Not saying that Rico will be that prolific, but if there’s goals outside of the official frontline then that’s more than good enough.
Yeah, Wrack scored those from the wing, cos he is a winger…we don’t play with wingers.
4 Goals in 30 odd games last season suggests he won’t score boat loads. I think he is a decent signing though, is a bit different to what we have got, haven’t worked out where he is going to fit in yet, probably some kind of forward role.
Yep I miss the days of ‘proper wingers’ ! It just shows how football has changed now and that these dont really exist now and you are more likely to be expecting goals from the wing backs.
It is interesting to note that nobody has commented on the absence of wingers being bought in the transfer window, it being accepted that we don’t play with them, yet there is much disappointment at the absence of a traditional striker being bought.
The 4 ‘best’ teams in England all have a proper number 9.
Load of rubbish.
Has anyone considered what will happen if Rico (hopefully) plays well and Vale are in a relegation scrap?
Let’s hope he’s crap then. 
Guarantee he’ll be recalled mate if he plays well for us that’s the problem loaning from teams one level above us.
Has anyone considered what will happen if aliens abduct half the team?
Erich Von Daniken?
You’re right he probably had it covered.
Arsenal didn’t until a few weeks ago 
Yep, and they always finished 2nd best
We can recall them from Mars in November because the Martian transfer window is earlier than ours.
Sadler sees Rico Richards as the “2nd striker”
Rico Richards has scored 4 goals in 40 games in his career.
An upgrade on Flash then. 
My nans an upgrade on josh
