Micah Richards

Really really hope not. I think we should groom Richards and shift him to CB.... RB covered now nicely with Zaba & Maicon, both contrasting styles, Maicon for the assaults on the lower teams and Zaba for the tight games, then surely Richards can move into the centre and thus, along with Garcia offering cover, save the need for us to invest massively in a stellar CB?? Kompany / Richards partnership could go down as legendary! Anyone agree or is Richards just not reliable enough?
 
No danger of him moving for now. Providing he will stay fit after his injury will work with Maicon and Zaba.

Hearing worrying rumours he's off to Newcastle. Normally I'd laugh it off but with the signing of Maicon I'm not so sure. If we sell him I'm goin ape shit.

He is not AVAILABLE enough.
For such a young player it's really not a good sign how much he has been injured of late. Is he a pisshead? Does he eat too much garbage. He does look like he's carrying a lot of weight around.
He looked so much fitter and faster 3-4 years ago.

Aside from this being unrealistic

How can an injured player pass a medical?

RSC was crocked but we signed him. £18m wasn't it?
Hope Micah stays but wouldn't be surprised if Bobby unloads him. He is struggling for a place with Zabba and Maicon in the team.
 
He's out for a month and going no where just because we sign a right back doesn't mean we are selling one! We will need a big squad plus Mica plays about a 1/3 of the games a season anywhere because any slight knock and he's out for 2 to 3 weeks

It just fits like...

cannon and ball

hale and pace

and the great grumbleweeds and russ abbott!!!
 
Now I am not sure about the numbers here and haven't time, or inclination, to look because I know someone will correct me if I am wrong!, but wouldn't our home grown players total go below the accepted figures if Micah went?

I would be even more upset about Micah going than I am about NDJ going.

Maicon, is a fantastic signing and what a fantastic way for Richards to enhance his game and evolve into our long term right wingback. Only dani alves would have been a better tutor!



Did i say Fantastic!
 
The thing is we still have a few players like Richards who are our links to the old days, and although they were shit in many ways, there was something fun about it too. And losing Richards would be to lose a tangible link to that past.
 
Micah is one of those when injured you never truly know when he will be back, i suspect he might be out a few months so we needed cover, Maicon is a good choice and dont forget we have Argies first choice here also. Micah is going nowhere
