Decent right back and scored against us last year didn't he?  Then again, most people did!

A sample of some of the comments from Foxes Talk about him, as I know absolutely nothing of him:

Quote
He exceeded my expectations and although not a top quality player, he definitely has quality for borderline Premier League football.

Quote
Was great for us in the Championship but frankly terrified me when he played in the Prem. Good luck RDL!

Quote
Good luck to Ritchie, a very good professional who had some great games at the club, including the 5-3 win over Man Utd (THAT ball to Vardy) and the 4-1 home win over Derby.

He will certainly do well I reckon, his pace is an asset getting up and down the line, good for overlaps. A move to the West Midlands in Aston Villa will be good for him.

Quote
Shocking positioning and defensive sense but more than enough pace to cover himself. Bit like Jeff really.

Easily good enough for a top six championship side, the right kind of signing for them.

Welcome Richie Du Late. Expect to see your name mangled many thousands of times over the next 3 years. The new Cieron Clarke.

Welcome Alfons

Is he a right-back? Wiki just says defender.

And he won Championship and Premier League in the same season! excellent job

*Ritchie (Let's start as we mean to go on- we don't want another Clarke/Guzman/Kovac etc)

Welcome and good luck - hopefully you will win your second Premier League title with us!



Is that how he spells his name. Well, doesn't that just take the biscuit

He used to be with United but now he's welcome to our Club. I think we should go with three at the back- see how he gets on as part of a Trio.

I'd like to see him team up with Lewis Dunk

Pedant alert!  He came second in Championship but that will do us :)

Oh go on then.....With his pace he will be an asset on Breakaways.

Great news. I also like how Alan Hutton is the featured player in the corner of the screen, under this story!
