shamrock Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 As if we have had good results developing players in the MLS, Championship, Scandinavia or B2/3. Change, any change, is good. I have no problem with having a player develop in a league that is high on offense, creativity and skill on low on fitness and defence. Especially with regards to an up and coming forward. Lets not forget Osorio spent 2 years in Uruguay and now he is the first pro level goal scoring central midfielder we have produced since Hutchinson broke through in '03. Now about the offense and technical skills, there you got a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 His attempt at 4:00 was overly cheeky. Great to see him playing with such confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wow, if you include his handling of the ball to give Orduspor a PK then he was involved in all 3 goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wow, if you include his handling of the ball to give Orduspor a PK then he was involved in all 3 goals! What better way to make up for a handball in the box than setting up the tying goal and then scoring the winner. While the defending in the Turkish 2nd division is not the greatest it does seem that Ricketts has improved in a lot of areas. His shooting seems to be much better, he is controlling the ball well and he seems to have developed a lot more sense of how to move on the pitch with purpose in different directions instead of just running straight ahead into the box all the time. Also in addition to his 7 goals in 25 league games (plus 2 in Cup games) he also has 5 assists and I can't recall him ever being very useful setting up other players before. Turkish forwards are usually pretty good technically and given that Ricketts had a lot of athleticism and little technique maybe Turkey might have been the right move for him. We still have to see him with the national team to be sure but I am seeing a lot of things from him in Turkey that I never saw him do before nor thought he would ever be capable of doing.

El Hombre Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I know this is NCAA exhibition but it is worth a look (Richmond Layrea of Akron via Sigma FC) Richmond is supposed to be a special player. Hopefully he has the kind of year Larin had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
