So was Micah. Didn't help him towards the end of his time here.

He's a lot more skilled than Richards.

If Richards never had his chronic injuries, he may well have developed in to a much better right-back than he did.

Bebe came out of the blue.

You think the guy who has had the best defense 7 of the 8 years he has been manager just "learned this season he needs a decent defense."? :(

Ok, a BETTER DEFENCE than the one he inherited, which wasn't as good as he hoped! hence the wholesale departure of Zaba, Clichy, Sagna. Bernado Silva given No. 20 shirt suggests Mangala will be off too. From what we are hearing,2 more defenders and a keeper possibly being announced next week shows Pep's priority is to revamp the defence.

Possibly. But Micah was an awesome player between, say, 08-13. Then he just seemed to be intent on beefing up his torso. Which seemed to affect his form, which nosedived after that.

Sammy Lees just said on twitter that we agreed personal terms last week?

Only a matter of time then.

Bollocks. It was injuries and nothing else that fucked Micahs form. Lost his pace from repeated injuries and that was his main asset. Also I'm sure I used to hear the guy say he doesn't lift weights, just genetics.

Looks like we could potentially have Mendy and Ederson done this week.

What a start to the window that would be.

We are not even in June yet.
