Toon consider Ricksen move

[Jimbo 172]

Newcastle United are ready to compete for the signature of Fernando Ricksen.

 

The Dutch international has been on a season-long loan at Russian outfit Zenit St Petersburg after he fell out with Rangers coach Paul Le Guen.

 

Ricksen has already stated he would like to remain in Russia where he has again flourished under the tutelage of Dick Advocaat.

 

However, his performances have not gone unnoticed and a number of Premiership clubs have been taking a close look.

 

Now Russian sources are stating that Newcastle are ready to make a move.

 

It is also claimed that Ricksen has spoken with former Gers team-mate Craig Moore about Newcastle and he has received a glowing recommendation.

 

Zenit, though, are determined to keep Ricksen.

 

"We got an agreement in principle that Glasgow will sell us Fernando," stated Konstantin Sarsaniya, Zenit's director of sport.

 

Le Guen says that Ricksen's future is in his own hands.

 

"It depends on what Fernando wants to do," said the Rangers chief.

 

"There is a possibility he can stay in Russia but I will probably have a chat with him soon to consider his position."

 

With the Russian season all but finished Ricksen will be due to return to Scotland next month - at which point Newcastle could look to strike a deal, if Zenit have not already finalised an agreement.

Etc.

I would like to think we could get a better a defender/midfielder then him, but the phrase, "Beggars can't be choosers" springs to mind. Not that I would condone his signing, we need all the players. especially defenders, we can get, even if its just to provide cover and add some compettiton for places. On the plus side he does appear to be able to play through injury.

[Isegrim 9676]

Wow, even the joke from Nuts is funnier.

[Scottish Mag 3]

Are all the slatings of Ricksen, both on here and N-O, based on his performances or behavioural performances both on and off the pitch?

 

Whilst he is no world beater, I'd take him over Carr in a minute tbh

I've asked a Rangers fan about this and his response was "I thought you lot wanted out of the relegation zone?"

Over the last few years he was one of their best players..

Nah he was for one season. The one he played in centre midfield. When he played at right back he wasn't that great. If we're trying to replace Carr at right back, Ricksen isn't the answer.

 

So my reaction to this?

It all really depends on which Fernando Ricksen we get, the drunken one who lets off fireworks in the early hours of the morning and sings Rangers songs through Celtic player Alan Thompson's letterbox, or the Fernando who had a brilliant season as skipper before handing the captain's armband back to Barry Ferguson during pre-season, then returning to the drunken Ricksen of old, also one and a half good season's in five for Rangers certaintly didn't endear himself to the Rangers support, certainly not a right back, even Bobby Petta (not what u do when the wife isn't looking) tore him to ribbons, but possibly a shitebag hothead in midfield like Robbie Savage, who'll karate kick players and resort to fly kicks off the ball at times.

Still think he's a twat for that horrible tackle he done on Darren Young I think it was.

[Optimistic Nut 99]

Never seen much of him so not going to say yes or no, but this is an almost identical thread to what we were seeing 18 months ago when we were first linked with Moore and he hasn't been as bad as everyone made out.

Aye don't even mention THAT tackle.

 

It was Darren Young. It was a shocker.

No limit to our stupidity if we sign him.

[Meenzer 15342]

Not as catchy as the original tbh.

[JJ 0]

No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no no to Ricksen?

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3788]

As a person married into a Rangers family (they all looked at me funny when I first started seeing the wife and shortened honey to hun. I didnt know). He is a crap player. Moore has done well but let's not forget Boumsong who was supposed to be great. As a right back he is crap and will play man before ball. As a midfielder (Dr cox manner) Oh my god newbie do we need another one of those in this hospital we call a football team.
