From Ricketts' Twitter (http://twitter.com/rohanricketts):

"Today is a big day for me..."

Then: "I am going to wonderland...I am sooo scared of roller coasters..but today I am going to tackle my fears head on..."

My question is why is Ricketts going to Wonderland on a team practice day three days before a league match?

Today may well be a big day for the guy, but not in that way. I still stand by my earlier speculation: Ricketts released so that we can sign Jamie Smith from Aberdeen. (Hopefully Mo will make Barrett join Ricketts on the way out!)

Thoughts?

Doesn't practice end at noon or so? leaving tons of time to go to Wonderland.

Wednesday is typically the team's off day.

I think I'm reading between the lines of his first Twitter update. It looked really strange. And this whole facing of fears theme, I don't know, Ricketts can be a subtle guy sometimes (when someone else isn't hijacking his Twitter!). I wonder.

That's news to me. But if you're right, then I must be wrong and stand corrected.:o

Johann Smith would be cut before Ricketts (depending on how much salary cap room they need).

Vitti is on a 1 year loan so I can't see them cutting him when he's off the books next year anyway (unless they need room for a major signing).

Barrett isn't getting cut. He's in the 1st year of a 4 year deal.

When Vitti leaves next year and Dichio retires Barrett could be our go to guy up front (gulp).

Problem is Barrett's got the long term contract...
Vitti's merely a loan deal.....

Have to start finding a taker for Barrett's long-term contract first...that's top priority.

This is top priority.

#1 - Deal Chad for anything...
.....subsequently lock up Gerba

then you can release Vitti once OBW is medically/conditionally good to go

my understanding with Vitti is that the team can just end the loan.
like taking back a dvd to blockbuster...we can simply ship him to Argentina...

that's how they made it sound on the broadcast vs. LA Gals.

no, he'd get to ride all day, because the coaster just can't finish.

Is this a metaphor for "I am going to the front office...I am sooo scared of recent speculation..but today I am going to get released by TFC..."

Maybe Wonderland is code for NYC.



But really, he probably posted the first msg then suddenly remembered that people actually read his twitters, then threw out wonderland as a cover. (Or, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.)

If Chad Barrett went to Wonderland, everything Chad would ride would break down.


Leaving everyone pissed off lol

Why did the tfc fans start protesting after the game??

from june 7th.

did anyone reply to him and if so, did he reply back?

Is he really in that much of a bubble that he wouldn't have realised what was going on?

Also, I saw part of his "off the pitch" interview on goltv last night, talking about his childhood and how when his mates were off getting into trouble, "he just always wanted to play with a ball, he'd play with anyone, even strangers in the park".

made me chuckle:hump::michael:

Really I would have thought Ricketts would absolutely love roller coasters...he can fly around in circles all day and end up in the exact same place - just like on the pitch

Looks like he's getting a sneaky handjob there. If that doesn't make him like roller coasters nothing will.:hump:

Apparently my inner immature 12 year old is really getting a run out today.
