Just remember the stupid, outrageous fees that are thrown around in England though? Everybody suddenly thought Charlie Adam was going to be amazing because Liverpool spent that money on him. Alan Hutton too. Big fees do not mean great players.

This summer Ritchie will eclipse McCormack's (11m) record for being most expensive Scottish footballer ever. I reckon he'll go for 15m+

More a Scotland player than a Scottish player.

Think he'll get a decent move. Been linked with United and Chelsea as well over last month or so.

Perhaps something to do with Bournemouth knocking back a pretty large bid.... maybe getting greedy waiting on one of these guys. West Ham will be a better move for him though.

Ritchie is decidedly average. A good left foot, but slow as treacle and struggles to retain possession. I don't want him in our first 11.

He's been our standout player of the past 6 months. We are definitely a better side with him in it - Him and Snodgrass working off a good striker would be a good attacking threat for us

Tierney linked with 10m move to Arsenal, Man City and Spurs.

Usual BBC gossip stuff

Ridiculous, would be a bad idea, he will end up on the bench/reserves then ger farmed out somewhere. Another year up here would be a far better idea to help him develop.

It's true Ritchie doesn't have pace to burn, but he's a player who has improved a lot over the past 18 months or so at club level. Initially, I didn't think he played well for us, but he is becoming an important player for us. The screamer against Poland was no fluke as his goals in the EPL have demonstrated. We will really need goal-scoring midfielders to get us vital points if we are to reach top two in the WC qualifiers. 

He must be at least decent at EPL level for an established team like WH, who will be in Europe next season, to bid that much for him, and to have other bigger clubs constantly linked. On the Scottish or not inferences, my view is that other countries are unlikely to be soul-searching on this matter. If anyone is eligible according to FIFA regulations then, if they are good enough, get them in the team. We need every bit of help going to reach a major competition again.

As if here are some people on here who don't believe Ritchie has improved our team! We really do have some Muppets as supporters. 

He clearly has improved our team. Anyone who thinks otherwise really knows nothing about football 

I know a player who struggles to play high tempo possession football when I see one.
