    Liverpool are seriously trying it on to treat Rickie like that and then try to make a profit on his transfer fee! He's hardly played under them, plus he's 32, ffs!

    Scousehampton are really a shower of shote!
    Poor Rickie, from Saints Legend to abused bench warmer and now shipped off to some no hoper team....very sad end to his career.
    Dream move to nightmare

    As much as I love Rickie I have very little sympathy for him. He made his own bed and now he's got to lie in it.

    Feel for Rickie but it was his decision to go, just think how many games he would have played for Saints if he stayed. Not a nice way to end his career, but he made his bed.............

    He could do a job for Norwich and could be happy there. Liverpool was supposed to be his last move though, wasn't it? He was never given a chance as I'm sure he would have scored more if given more game time.

    If he had stayed at Saints for last season (and we had still made all the signings we did) - how many games do you think he'd have played?


    I think not many - other than to give Pelle a rest

    Might have more than we think as it would have given Ronald another option. Bet he'd have played more than at Liverpool....which is weird when you consider they needed a striker more than we did.

    I bet you he doesn't have one single regret. And remember Cortese was trying to ship him out during the window before too, so he was probably annoyed about all that anyway. Just think it's shameful of Liverpool to try to get more for him than we sold him to them for when he's older, no longer an international, and a much less sharp player, all thanks to them (yes, he would have been younger had he stayed with us).

    Life is all about perceptions.

    From beetroot factory to the premier league, lighting up League 1 and the Championship on the way, then scoring on his England debut. I'd say it was blooming marvelous what happened to Rickie.

    I agree, imagine if he'd started out at 18 playing in the Prem and ended up at 32 working in a beetroot factory! I bet I know which way round he'd prefer his career to have gone.

    And playing in Champions League for his childhood club. Am sure he has not one regret, and would make the same post-Saints decisions again.

    I bet he has certain splinters picked from his arse in certain games that he has kept in a little box for the benefit of his grandchildren - Liverpool derby; Real Madrid in the CL...

    Had a good career and still playing. He will always be in the record book as an England international with a few goals as well. Most players don't finish on a high, but drop down a bit at the end....in his case from Saints to Liverpool. <laugh>

    I think he'll do quite well at Norwich. It sort of feels right.

    Oh, I just read its West Brom.......not so good.

    It is a shame he never got to play for a top four side.

    Just a few extra points and I could have said, with great satisfaction, that it was a shame he never played in a top six side.
