Re: Richie Laryea
He sounds exactly what we need, honestly this transfer panel is a breath of fresh air. All transfer panels get things wrong but it all depends on the amount of hits. What’s a breath of fresh air is we are not shackled anymore to mendes or Oly rejects. It’s a much more holistic approach now.
We are desperate for pacey wing back backups so this on the face of things is a good signings. However not seen him play yet and of course he could turn out a dud but let’s see. He has attributes that we need which is a positive.
Looking about the internet, I have gathered:
He currently earns the equivalent of £3.2k basic a week. Expiry date of the contract he signed in June 2020 was undisclosed, although both the FIFA 22 and Football Manager 21 computer games speculate that it could have just finished on Dec 31st 2021, which would make this a free transfer I guess?
Is considered amongst the best right-backs in MLS, although was converted from a defensive midfielder. Can play left-back too and is comfortable using both feet,
Drew interest from Besiktas last summer as a result of a recommendation from Canadian team-mate and Besiktas stalwart Atiba Hutchinson,
He’s always dreamed of playing in Europe,
He scores statistically highly for touches in the opposition box and progressive (forward) runs (definitely matches up with the profile of a wing-back or attacking RB in the Spence mould),
He’s short (either 5”7 or 5”9 depending on reports), fast, turns 27 this Friday, is married with a son who turns 3 next month and is of Ghanaian parentage. Has 22 caps and 1 goal for Canada.
Fifa 22 rank is 71 if that means anything to anyone.
If he’s coming in on a free transfer and earning under 10k a week, this looks like a decent signing who can cover a couple of positions to me….
Edit: Canadian media seem to think he’s still under contract, so guess we’ll be paying a fee.
