MancCanary 0 Posted July 19, 2014 From the story on the main site:“Ricky is a great lad and obviously confidence is a big thing and what you saw from him is the work rate and the effort is there,” said Adams. “He is still someone who is desperate to impress.“All the Norwich fans will be delighted for him because it has been really tough for him and I just hope that continues because goals breed confidence and vice versa. That was great for him to score goals; no matter if it’s in a friendly, training or a league game strikers like scoring goals and we know he had a tough time of it."Well to me that sounds like Ricky''s involved this season and part of the plan. Obviously you find other meanings in there if you try hard enough (and i''m sure people will do soon), but I reckon its positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, just posted about that on another thread. It certainly confirms what we''ve heard about his good attitude, he''s desperate to impress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted July 19, 2014 I really hope he stays and does well, was so pleased for him when he scored the other night. And it gave us a glimpse of perhaps how Neil Adams has realised the best way to play him, and what sort of service he could thrive on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with what Morty says, I''m not sure if it''s just because he''s our record signing or if it''s because he just seems like a genuinely nice bloke who cares, but I don''t think I''ve even been so eager to see a player turn things round as Ricky.

Snakepit Ric 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Would love to see him be top scorer in the championship. You don''t lose quality overnight. Also what a great lad to have in squad , lost his number 9 shirt , then congratulates the person who now has it on scoring his first goal for club.

That he might regard the "20" shirt as being just as good as number "9" - especially as one of his looked up to Dutch counterparts wears that number too? Or that maybe numbers don''t mean that much to Dutch players because of the way they play and their culture of total football? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think RVW may revel in his new-found headspace! In retrospect, wearing #9 and portrayed on a ''Be Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf'' poster brought its own weight to bear. From what I can see, RVW is someone who cares about delivering on a promise. He has integrity. Mentally he may have been trying rather too hard which can be equally as unproductive. Come the start of the season, with Lafferty to smash I think RVW will grab... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kangaroo Court 0 Posted July 19, 2014 morty has a bizarre habit of misreading tweets. He claimed a Gutierrez tweet criticising Adams was about an Argentinian team (which it very obviously wasn''t) and now he claims an RVW tweet saying "guess it''s just a number" shows RVW is displeased (which it very obviously doesn''t).

MancCanary 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Ricky''s tweet was:"Yes, i have been given number 20I guess it''s just a number" - But without hearing his voice say it, or seeing his face as he says it, its impossible to grasp whether he''s angry or not. If it had an exclamation mark at the end it would read much more positively, like this:"Yes, i have been given number 20I guess it''s just a number!" But it doesn''t, and as Ricky is usually very expressive and emotive on Twitter, with liberal use of exclamation marks, I would suggest that his tweet seems to be expressing disappointment, but with a little positive spin on it too, which is very typical of his character.I think reading between the lines, he''s saying:"Yes, i have been given number 20, I guess it''s just a number ".Thats my opinion anyway!
