David Luiz

[Andouble]

bit gutted about this, not because we're missing out but because he's coming to our direct rivals.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Gutted...might have some problems adjusting to the English game though...

Could turn out to be a rio or could turn out to be a bramble. He needs to bulk up or Edin will have a field day. I've seen him a couple times where he's been awesome and others where he's been a total shitbag.

...we shall see

Not the kind of centre half we require anyway, we need a beast to play alongside Vinny.

Bad days happened, but I still like Lescott in the way that he has the right attitude and strong determination to improve, unlike Richards.

What evidence has led you to that conclusion?

dont get me wrong, Lescott is good in the air, and shows more than just glimpses of being a fantastic CH.

unfortunately, the clumsy challenge happens a little too often. and he has a tendency to just hoof the ball.

I could even understand if alot of the bad challenges were when the other team was looking like scoring... but the foul during the wolves, and the "should have been" penalty against Newcastle are two classic examples of lescott making clumsy, rash challenges, when the attacker is going NOWHERE

News and direct comments from Lescott and Richards themselves, from various sources and occasions.

i.e.
Richards:
Vieira apparently 'asked him what he wanted to achieve in the game: 'I want to play for a successful City team and play for England too.'
'Really??' replied a surprised Vieira. 'Then how come you're the last one onto the training pitch every day and the first one off it?''

Micah Richards has warned Manchester City that he will look to quit the club over his lack of first-team opportunities this season.

"I've never really been used to sitting on the bench and not playing and I hate it. I don't feel it's acceptable to me if I'm honest," he told The Sun.
