Apologies if this has been covered. According to Sky, several Championship Clubs are interested in him. He is still training with us and states that he would love to stay with but we have not proposed anything. I personally think the bloke is a class act and I would love to see him sign again. Equally our young strikers can only benefit from his experience and knowledge. I have a feeling we will offer him a deal.

Fuller is definitely a good player but maybe Powell wanted a strike force that was more regular, with both Fuller and Haynes fairly injury prone.
a fit and motivated Fuller will still be (I am sure) a fearsome beast .. last year he never looked especially fit. I was so pleased when he signed, I'll be even more pleased if he re-signs, with the caveat that he is Full(er)y fit
No doubting his ability, scored some good goals and i wouldn't be disappointed if he re-signed for us. Those two aspects just sit in my mind thats all.
I would prefer a younger long term player, but as said wouldn't be disappointed with him.
Very few players in this league can control a ball and hold off players like him. Great dribbler too.
I dont Care if he Scores 0 in 40 And we win all the Games one Nil
Given the Way we are Set up , can't u see that a one man wrecking machine up top is exactly the type of player we need. If the squad evolves and we start dominating possession , maybe that kind of player is not right for such tactics. Whilst we are content to soak up pressure and play on the break, fuller fits perfect. SCP sees this and that's why he is prepared to give RF10 the benefit of the doubt in fitness
In some games he played he kept entire defences occupied until we got a foothold
Palace, Ipswich and watford.... He was sensational
I don't think judging Ricardo on strike Rate demonstrates anything other than a misunderstanding of the subtleties of the game
At the peak of his career he was a ten goal a season merchant. Didn't stop him being the player of the season year on year
The way he bombarded himself through Ipswich and various others sides defences was legendary.
Lets not beat around the bush: This guy has the skill to scare the shit out of defenders. Sure, he may not be at his peak, but he's still able to do some damage. He can still come up with those moments of magic that create chances out of nothing, or creates a goal all alone. Yeah, he may be a bit selfish and greedy - but it does works at times.
Palace away he was incredible in that first half, and stood out for me - and in that first 45 I think all of our guys were good; Fuller just edged it though. I didn't make the Watford game so I can't comment for that, but from I gather he played a blinder there as well.
The fact is though, even when he hasn't got his scoring boots on - you can be pretty confident that he's going to be helping others get the chance..
Bolton at Home, the game where our fortunes turned and our form picked up. We were 2-0 down at 20 minutes. Fuller caused their defence so many issues that they gave a way a free kick (which directly led to a goal) and then a penalty (duly scored) - within 5 minutes or so of eachother! That won the game for us - and that game boosted us enough to win a good share of points throughout the rest of the season.
We'll miss Ricardo Fuller if he doesn't stay around. It's just a shame that he can be prone to shoulder injuries, as his game is physical and does revolve around barging defences out of the way.
